  "summary": "Belt and mesh-belt shot-blast machines provide batch or continuous treatment where parts need broad abrasive coverage with limited part-on-part impact. Rubber, steel and mesh conveying options support different component sizes, masses and surface-treatment duties.",

    {
      "heading": "Machine families",
      "paragraphs": [
        "The family includes concrete-block machines, incline-belt machines and mesh-belt pass-through systems. Each layout addresses a different balance of part handling, continuous flow and surface exposure.",
        "Incline-belt systems handle small to medium tumble-proof parts, while mesh-belt machines carry flat or complex components through a continuous treatment zone."

      "heading": "Applications",
      "paragraphs": [
        "Typical duties include sand removal, descaling and deburring, plus preparation of castings, flame-cut parts, die-cast items and machined components.",
        "Cosmetic blasting of aluminium, zinc and other non-ferrous parts and light peening of precision components are also within the documented application range."

      "heading": "Coverage and media control",
      "paragraphs": [
        "Belt or mesh movement exposes workpiece surfaces while limiting impact between parts. Wheel layouts above and below the transport path support consistent coverage.",
        "Integrated separation, abrasive recovery and dust-control systems maintain the blast circuit; ATEX-compliant dust filters are available where the dust risk requires them."

    {
      "heading": "Selection logic",
      "paragraphs": [
        "Rubber belts suit lighter alloys and damage-sensitive parts, while steel and mesh options extend the acceptable weight and geometry range. Selection must account for part stability, openings, burr orientation and media retention.",
        "Confirm line speed, batch size, wheel placement, recovery capacity and dust loading with representative parts before production release."
