Comparison Chart of Magnetic Sweepers for Shot Blasting
Below is a comparison chart of magnetic sweepers designed for shot blasting applications. The chart includes continuous discharge magnetic sweepers.
Continuous discharge magnetic sweepers offer huge improvements in operator “ease” of operation. They eliminate much of the constant bending over involved in the operation of traditional magnetic sweepers, which is also much of the source of their productivity increases. Continuous Discharge Magnetic Sweepers make performing the task of picking up shot so much easier. It’s like comparing cutting wood with a hand saw versus a power saw.
We have compiled the following comparison chart of magnetic sweepers for shot blasting to help you determine which shot blasting magnetic sweeper is right for you.
