Does an IntelliFinishing System Work Well with Shot Blast Machines?

When shot blasting is part of your pretreatment process, seamless integration with your finishing system is essential. IntelliFinishing systems are designed with this in mind—offering the flexibility and control needed to get the best results from your shot blast equipment.

As John Claman of IntelliFinishing explains, traditional chain-based systems run at a fixed speed, limiting your ability to adjust for different part types or surface conditions. In contrast, IntelliFinishing allows you to control the speed of each carrier, slowing it down for more intricate or heavily soiled parts and speeding it up when less prep is required. This fine-tuned control helps ensure consistent surface preparation across a wide range of products.

Some customers even take advantage of IntelliFinishing’s recipe-based automation, running select parts through the shot blast more than once. Once the ideal settings are dialed in for a particular product, the system remembers them—ensuring repeatable, reliable results without added manual effort.

For manufacturers looking to improve quality and efficiency in their pretreatment process, IntelliFinishing offers a smart, adaptable solution that works exceptionally well alongside shot blast machines.
