Wheelabrator Vacu-Blast Ventus equipment covers suction-fed, pressure-fed and robotic airblasting. The family supports cleaning, coating removal, surface preparation and peening, with different cabinet layouts and abrasive-recovery arrangements.
| Equipment family | Vacu-Blast Ventus |
|---|---|
| Feed arrangements | Pressure-fed and suction-fed |
| Family pressure range | 0.1–8 bar |
| Robotic configuration | 200 PR |
| Robot | 6-axis ABB |
| Control system | Siemens PLC with ABB robot controller |
Pressure-fed P cabinets are intended for more intensive blasting, while suction-fed S cabinets provide a less aggressive treatment. SR and PR configurations use a separate recovery power pack to manage the abrasive supply. The 92PMB, 125PMB and 150PMB variants form a further pressure-fed cabinet range.
These figures describe cabinet enclosures. They should be kept separate from the maximum component envelope of the robotic system.
| 92SR / 92PR | 896 × 796 × 800 mm (width × depth × height). |
|---|---|
| 125SR | 1250 × 1000 × 950 mm (width × depth × height). |
| 150SR / 150PR | 1500 × 1340 × 1180 mm (width × depth × height). |
The 200 PR combines a six-axis ABB robot with an indexed rotary table and Siemens PLC control. Its stated component envelope is up to 1500 mm in diameter and 800 mm high, with a maximum component weight of 250 kg. Configurations range from manual adjustment to closed-loop regulation of pressure and media flow.
Options include tables with 4, 6 or 8 numerical satellites, a rotating lance for bores or slots, media-change equipment, screening and magnetic separation. Process supervision can provide quality reports and maintenance support.
Applications include removing rust, heat scale or paint; preparing surfaces for painting, bonding or plating; surface texturing; peening; and component cleaning. The selected media, recovery system and controls depend on the chosen configuration.
