Automatic Shot Blasting Machine Empowering Safe and Efficient Oxygen Cylinder Cleaning

- 2025-06-13-

The Critical Need for Oxygen Cylinder Cleaning

Oxygen cylinders are used in medical, industrial, and welding applications, and their surfaces are often exposed to harsh environments, leading to rust, paint degradation, and surface contamination. Regular cleaning is not only essential for safety and hygiene but also necessary for repainting, re-certification, and reuse. However, traditional manual or chemical cleaning methods are labor-intensive, inconsistent, and environmentally unfriendly.

A Smart, Safe, and Sustainable Solution


Puhua’s automatic shot blasting machine offers a comprehensive solution for oxygen cylinder refurbishment. By utilizing high-speed abrasive blasting turbines and programmable automation, the system ensures 360° coverage of each cylinder surface. Whether mounted vertically on hooks or placed horizontally on rollers, the cylinders are blasted efficiently and uniformly.

This process achieves:



Complete removal of surface rust, scale, and paint



Controlled surface roughness ideal for coating adhesion



Environmentally friendly operation with enclosed dust filtration



High throughput with minimal manual labor

Applicable Models for Cylinder Processing


Depending on production volume and cylinder design, Puhua recommends the following automatic shot blasting machines:



Q37 Hook Type Shot Blasting Machine – Ideal for vertically suspended oxygen cylinders, ensuring inside and outside cleaning through rotation and multi-angle blasting.



Rotary Table Shot Blasting Machine – Suitable for stable blasting of cylinders placed horizontally, particularly in batch cleaning applications.



Customized Horizontal Cylinder Blasting Line – Designed specifically for inline processing of oxygen, CO₂, or LPG cylinders, with automatic loading/unloading systems.



Each model can be equipped with intelligent control panels, energy-saving turbines, and high-efficiency dust collectors to ensure long-term reliability and environmental compliance.

Global Demand for Cylinder Refurbishment


Across regions like South America, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, there is a growing demand for oxygen and gas cylinder refurbishment. Governments and industries are now encouraging the reuse of certified cylinders to reduce waste and improve cost efficiency. The ability to clean and refurbish cylinders in-house with an automatic shot blasting system gives companies a competitive advantage while enhancing operational safety.
