Wheelabrator Strip blast cleaning systems HB - 2

Descaling of narrow-, medium-, and wide steel strip Mechanical pre-descaling and final chemical surface treatment of hot-rolled stainless steel strip (Cr-Ni, titanium strip) and Si-alloy strip are almost exclusively carried out in integrated processing lines that combine annealing, cooling and mechanical descaling. Wheelabrator strip blast cleaning systems are renowned in this field and offer clear benefits: • Reliable and economical operation resulting in a high degree of surface cleanliness • Ecologically desirable blast cleaning. When treating stainless steel strip, combined...

Wheelabrator Strip blast cleaning systems HB - 4

Operating Principle These systems are designed for transversal blast cleaning. Each module contains four blast wheels having a maximum throwing speed of 78 m/s. The individual modules run in sequence. In this configuration, the systems obtain a strip passage speed of up to 150 m/min. The blast wheel set up can be regulated to obtain full coverage of the strip width, by controlling the blast pattern and continuous maximum abrasive impingement. The staggered position of the blast wheels prevents blasting interference. Blast cleaning power remains constant regardless of the strip width. Only...

Wheelabrator Strip blast cleaning systems HB - 6

Narrow strip machines Speeds of passage for specific material, strip widths, scale type and surface quality will be indicated upon request. Operating principle This system is designed for longitudinal blast cleaning from 4 blast cleaning wheels at a maximum throwing speed of 78 m/sec. The blast wheels are inclined to the strip plane at an angle to prevent blasting interference. The optional abrasive throwing angle fully converts the installed power into descaling force. All blast cleaning wheels can quickly and automatically be adjusted to suit a new strip programme, assuring the best...

Wheelabrator Strip blast cleaning systems HB - 7

shaping industry Safe operation, simple maintenance The design concept of the blast cleaning system transports the strip without damaging the surface. Thorough abrasive cleaning and complete dust extraction render the strips leaving the machine cleaned. Simple, but highly effective sealing elements prevent stray abrasive from interfering with the machine operation. Large service doors and the special structure configuration permit easy access for inspection and maintenance work. All blast wheels are easily accessible for periodic check-ups and replacement of wear parts or sub-assemblies....
