The OrbiBlockBlast system excels in automating the internal blasting process for automotive engine blocks. This advanced system is equipped with a robust construction and a user-friendly PLC control system, designed to ensure consistent and repeatable results. The OrbiBlockBlast uses a combination of robotic manipulators and a rotary lance to achieve thorough cleaning of internal surfaces, removing impurities such as rust, scale, and sand. This process significantly enhances the durability and lifespan of engine components, reducing the risk of part failure due to corrosion and material fatigue.
Benefits of Internal Sandblasting Machine
- Significantly increases the lifespan of engine parts,
- Fully automated operation minimizes human intervention,
- Reduction of internal impurities like rust and scale decreases,
- Minimizes waste, reducing both operational costs.

The ORBI BLOCK-BLAST machines operate in full automatic mode, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This integration into the production line includes robotic loaders that place cylinder heads onto turntables, which then move through various blasting stages automatically. The automation is controlled by an advanced PLC unit with a user-friendly HMI touchscreen interface, allowing operators to easily monitor and control the process. This ensures consistent production speeds, improved safety by reducing human involvement, and maximized efficiency .
The ORBI BLOCK-BLAST machines are custom-designed to handle different types of aluminum motor blocks, ensuring high precision in processing. Each machine is built to meet specific customer requirements, providing adaptable solutions for various engine components. The design includes specialized positioning pins and secure custom fixtures, which ensure accurate and repeatable placement of the motor blocks during the blasting process.
Featuring a 2-axis nozzle manipulation system, the ORBI BLOCK-BLAST machines provide precise internal and external blasting. The nozzles, controlled by pneumatic systems, are accurately positioned to target specific areas within the motor blocks. A closed-loop media flow regulation system maintains constant pressure and media flow, ensuring that each part receives a uniform treatment. This results in thorough cleaning and surface preparation, crucial for the automotive industry's high standards.
These machines are equipped with a comprehensive media recovery system, which includes a full-floor hopper system, screw conveyors, and air-wash separators. This system efficiently collects and cleans blasting media, recycling it for continuous use. The filtration unit, equipped with PULSE-JET cleaning and sound silencers, ensures a dust-free environment, complying with stringent environmental standards. By reducing media waste and operational costs, the ORBI BLOCK-BLAST machines offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.
