Abstract: This paper presents a study on profit optimization of steel shot blasting systems. In the study, the influences of blasting process parameters including air pressure, nozzle diameter, cost components as well as the effect of the nozzle wear on the profit of a cleaning process were investigated. Based on the results of the optimization problem, a regression model for calculation of the optimum exchanged nozzle diameter in order to get the maximum profit rate was proposed. By using the model, both the profit and the blasting time can be reduced considerably.

Abstract: This paper introduces a new study on cost optimization of steel shot blasting systems. In the study, the influences of blasting process parameters such as air pressure, nozzle diameter, cost components as well as the effect of the nozzle wear on the cleaning cost were investigated. For calculation of the optimum exchanged nozzle diameter (called optimum diameter) a regression model was proposed. By using this model, both cleaning cost and cleaning time can be reduced considerably.
