The hook shot blast machines type CAPRI are installations with operational flexibility, suitable for many types of work. The range of machines is very wide, so it is easy to identify the most suitable machine for any need. The functioning principle is the one of hanging the work-pieces (singly or collectively). The hook runs and rotates inside the machine exposing all the surface of the work pieces to the abrasive action from the wheels, positioned on the side of the blast chamber, patented by OMSG.
Besides the size of the shot blast chamber, the function of these machines is the loading of the hooks.
