Shotting Process
Wheelabrator's new shotting process to produce uniform steel shot for industrial blast cleaning "Cut in on a view through the manhole to the water flowing through thepit where a Wheelaberator blast wheel will break up a flow of molten steel into many circular pellets (Like BB's) of varying sizes, whihc will then be screened to sort, and later hardened into various type of steel shot for blast cleaning of parts in Wheelaberator shot blast machines. Cut in on the cauldron where the molten steel will be poured. As the cauldron is lifted out we see the action of the water and the rotation of the pot. Camera circles it to show the interior. Pull back to LS of the under-the-floor operation; the water pit where the steel shot is cooled, and the ladle area. Cut to LS as the molten steel in the electric arc furnace, pouring down a long tube into the now white-hot pit. LS of the molten metal pouring inot the pot. Many sparks, and the flow of molten particles from the blast whel. CU the molten steel shot forming balls as it is Wheelberated. Man tests the temperature of the molten metal. CU sparks as the pellets are formed in the air and fall into the water. Detail of the spinning action as the balls are formed. LS of workmen on the floor watching and working the melt. CU the cauldron and pit, the pot and the flowing metal particles. Pull back to LS, and to men studying the flow. Down to the molten metal and flying pellets.
