This Overhead Rail Blast Machine is manufactured by Wheelabratorgroup. The workpieces are transported manually on rotating hooks or automatically on an overhead rail system into the blast cabinet. The blast cycle runs in accordance with the preset programme and blast time.
Used abrasive and fines fall through the abrasive collection hopper beneath the blast cabinet, and are transported via a screw conveyor to a bucket elevator and to the abrasive reclamation unit. In the reclamation unit, the used abrasive is separated from fines and contaminants and returned to the abrasive silo.
To achieve complete coverage, the workpiece carrying hooks rotate and stop automatically at three different points in the blast cabinet. This rotation and oscillation process means that even highly complex workpieces, with hard to reach surfaces, can be safely and accurately treated.
