Different applications for cleaning of Rods, Bars, sheets, steel construction, concrete, shipyard, railway, aerospace and etc.
Roller conveyor shot blast machines
We offer a range of roller conveyors from small simple machines to construction blasters, heavy duty machines and complete preservation lines.
Our extensive experience in this field caters for all component sizes as well as customer specific solutions. Working speeds from 0.5 m/min for a small roller conveyor machine to 20m/min for a heavy skew roll machine are achievable.
For the specific treatment of large quantities of scale, to chip separation systems for structural steel companies, we have a complete range.
Horizontal Industrial Blasting Equipment
Inclined Belt Conveyor Machines
Process-safe, shock and impact-free blast cleaning of single, rotation-symmetric parts (brake discs and drums, rims, etc.) is easily achieved on the Wheelabrator Inclined Belt Conveyor (IBC) shot blast system. This machine ensures consistent and uniform exposure of the workpiece under the blast stream, and is ideal for high quality blasting of lighter parts that would be damaged in a tumblast system.
The IBC machine has enabled many automotive parts producers to benefit from quality improvements and cost savings by protecting sensitive metallic parts while increasing productivity.
Mesh Belt Machines
Mesh Belt Machines are widely used in forges, iron and steel foundries and aluminium foundries for parts that need to be cleaned, but are too large or too sensitive for the Tumblast process. These machines can be easily integrated into an automatic transport system and process large quantities of parts quickly. Wheels from above and below clean the parts as they pass through the machine, meaning the mesh belt itself is a wear part. Wheelabrator therefore only uses very high wear resistant belts made of manganese steel.
Rust Descaling Machines
All branches of steel producing and manufacturing industries use surface finishing processes. Semi-finished or finished products must be free from rust, scale or contaminants for any subsequent operation. Mechanical descaling via wheel blasting is a clean, fast and safe process.
Today, the different operations for the production of hot rolled strip (carbon-, silicon and stainless steel strip) are done in-line: annealing, cooling, descaling and pickling are combined in integrated processing lines. This combination of mechanical descaling and chemical pickling has greatly reduced the amount of chemicals used.
World leading Wheelabrator technology is available for narrow, medium and wide strip. Blast cleaning systems can be adjusted to various strip widths and quality grades and will enable practically any output demand.
