Loop chain shot blasting machine is designed and manufactured as continuous machine for the treatment of sensitive parts which cannot be tumbled in bulk loads, and for particularly complex, heavy, or large parts. The shot blasting machines with continuous monorail hooks allow processing a large volume of components greatly reducing the loading / unloading time as opposed to discontinuous blasting equipment with hooks. The parts to be blasted are supported by hooks mounted to an overhead rail system and subsequently transported into the blasting chamber. The flow can be continuous or discontinuous as required by the customer. With continuous flow shot blasting units, components later may be painted using the same transport rail system as used in the shot blasting process. In this way, unnecessary operator handling of the parts is eliminated further increasing productivity.
