ABSTRACT:
A plant for cleaning intricate workpieces such as investment castings comprises a blast cabinet in which a workpiece to be cleaned is supported on a tiltable turntable with a fully enclosed drive mechanism. A cabinet wall provided with a viewing window has a gimbal through which a high-pressure water gun projects toward the turntable. The position of the turntable can be adjusted with the aid of a control panel outside the cabinet within reach of an operator handling the water gun. Solids dislodged by the water blast are collected in a settling cart underneath the cabinet which has an overflow trough for water to be recirculated to a supply tank by way of a system of pumps and filtering devices. A safety switch responsive to unlatching of the cabinet door cuts off the water supply to the gun as long as that door is not properly closed.
