In early 2026, a mid-sized fabrication unit in western India faced an unexpected production slowdown just months after commissioning a new shot blasting machine. The equipment met all advertised specifications—robust blast wheels, advanced dust collection, and durable liners—yet output quality remained inconsistent. A post-incident technical audit revealed a critical oversight during procurement: the conveyor speed was mismatched with the plant’s actual production requirements. This real-world incident has since become a reference point in the surface preparation industry, highlighting why conveyor speed is a decisive factor when selecting a shot blasting machine.
