Rotary Machines | Wheelabrator
Rotary wheelblast machines position parts on fixed or moving tables and expose them to multiple adjustable blast streams. The platform ranges from compact single-table batch units to heavy-duty systems capable of handling structures weighing up to 120 tonnes.

Table configurations
Available layouts include fixed, single and dual mobile rotary tables. Dual-table systems alternate loading and unloading to increase throughput, while single-table units provide a compact batch arrangement.
Mesh-belt rotary-table variants offer compact pitless processing for smaller parts.
Applications
Documented duties include rust and scale removal from forged or heat-treated parts, preparation before coating, welding or machining, and cosmetic treatment of flat or contoured components.
The same equipment concept can support shot peening of dynamically stressed parts such as crankshafts and camshafts.
Part handling and coverage
Manual, hoist-assisted, robotic and in-line handling options cover a wide mass range. Multi-position wheels and adjustable blast angles help expose different faces and reduce shadowing.
Heavy-duty configurations extend from light components to structures weighing as much as 120 tonnes.
Blast and wear systems
TITAN or ATLAS blast wheels are offered for energy-efficient abrasive acceleration and service life. Wear-resistant linings, accessible inspection points and rapid wear-part replacement support maintenance.
Fixture geometry, rotation program, wheel angle, media and exposure time should be validated with representative parts before production release.
