Blast Wheel Assembly

Frequently asked questions:

A: The primary purpose of a blast wheel assembly is to propel abrasive media onto the surface of a workpiece to remove rust, scale, paint, or other contaminants, and create a clean and prepared surface. It is commonly used in industries such as metal fabrication, automotive, foundries, and construction for surface cleaning, descaling, and preparation prior to coating, painting, or further processing.

A: A blast wheel assembly typically consists of a motor-driven wheel or impeller with vanes or blades. The wheel rotates at high speed, creating centrifugal force that propels the abrasive media from the blades onto the workpiece. The abrasive media, such as steel shot, grit, or sand, strikes the surface, removing the unwanted material and providing the desired surface finish.

A: Some advantages of using a blast wheel assembly include:

A: Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of a blast wheel assembly. Some maintenance considerations include:
