Cougar+ machine configurations for aluminium die cleaning...

If your die shop is cleaning more than 10 dies a day, the wet blast machine configuration you choose matters as much as the process itself.

The Cougar+ comes in three distinct configurations, and choosing the wrong one costs you throughput you will never recover.

The standard Cougar+ suits lower-volume operations. A single turntable, load capacity of 450kg, and a working envelope up to 1,200mm diameter. If your volumes sit below 10 dies per day, this is where you start.

The single load end configuration increases load capacity to 1,000kg and allows the turntable to slide fully out of the cabinet. In a die shop where heavy tooling moves by overhead crane, that distinction is imporant.

The twin load end configuration removes dead time entirely. While one turntable is being cleaned, the second is being loaded. High-volume operations running up to 300 dies per day run this configuration.

Across all three, the result is the same: bearing surfaces clean enough to inspect with confidence, porthole geometries reached that shot blasting cannot access, and die profiles that emerge dimensionally intact.

Tell us your daily die volumes and current setup and we will give you a direct answer on which configuration fits.
