Dust removal is essential during blasting—regardless of the blasting medium used. This places high demands on the filtration systems, as the cleaned exhaust air must be sufficiently pure to be safely returned to the workspace around the blasting machine. Moreover, the filter system must operate with minimal interruptions for cleaning or filter replacement. Each interruption causes a disruption in the often…

The surface treatment of complex cast workpieces made from aluminium or magnesium continues to become ever more sophisticated. The reproducibility of the shot blasting process for mass-produced parts is of particular importance in this context. Visitors will gain an overview of how reproducibility is taken into account during the conception phase and how it is put into practice. AGTOS has designed and…

The founding team of AGTOS started with even two factories in 2001. From day one, the machines were designed in Emsdetten, near Münster.
