Cryogenic media-blast deflashing
AWS 08 // AWS 08+
The AWS 08 is optimised for the economical cryogenic deflashing of batch volumes of up to 10 litres. As a result, it obtains optimal media-blasting results on a wide range of moulded part geometries. Thanks to the patented media-blasting angle adjustment, it is possible to flexibly employ the machine in two operating modes.In addition, frames for holding moulded parts or special components can be installedin the media-blasting areas in both media-blasting variants.
The AWS 08 particularly excels with small batches thanks to its speed, clean media-blasting results and its operating efficiency, as well as its flexibility in horizontaland vertical media-blasting operation.
One machine, two operating modes
The AWS // AWS 08+ is flexible to use.
It can be optionally delivered with only one operating mode.
Horizontal media-blasting operation
- Horizontal, closed removable basket (wire mesh cylinder)
- Gentle media-blasting process in closed basket system
- Optimal circulation of the components
Vertical media-blasting operation
- Vertical open removable basket (perforated basket)
- High performance media-blasting with optimal blasting pattern
- Adjustment of the media-blasting angle to the fill level

Simple and secure data handling with integrated USB and LAN interface. Recipes can be called up simply and safely with the barcode reader. Integration of the machines in internal company structures with remote access and online machine access is possible. OPC-UA is available as a universal communication interface on all our machines.
The entire processing area can be media-blasted thanks to the patented active media-blasting angle adjustment.
With the quick-change basket system for horizontal and vertical operation, baskets with freely selectable perfora-tions/mesh widths are available. The media-blasting basket is mounted manually into the media-blasting system and is filled and emptied outside the machine. Set-up times can be minimised using additional baskets. Alternative receiving frames or basket structures are possible.
