Mechanical Descaling
Prepared for preservation - steel plate, strip and tube descaling
Steel Sheet and Plate Descaling
Rolled steel products are used in many manufacturing fields. For corrosion protection and preservation, and for subsequent coating, their surfaces must be clean and free from rust or scale.
Steel sheet, plate and section descaling machines, otherwise known as Roller Conveyor Blast Machines, are designed for the mechanical descaling and/or preservation of steel surfaces in one pass.
At Wheelabrator you can blast plate widths of up to 5m, at a speed of 6m per minute.
The Preservation Line
The Preservation Line incorporates the different stages of blasting and priming. On the preservation line, sheets and profiles are thoroughly blast cleaned and provided with a temporary corrosion protection coating. Along with the external transport unit, a preservation line consists of a pre-heating oven, a pass-through blasting machine, a painting unit and a drying tunnel with its associated slat conveyor.
Wheelabrator is the only company that offers roller conveyors and preservation lines that can blast 5m wide steel plate at high quality - and we're working on larger sizes.
Strip Descaling
For the annealing, cooling, mechanical descaling and pickling of steel strip.
The production of hot rolled strip is achieved in-line: annealing, cooling, mechanical descaling and pickling are combined in integrated processing lines. Wheelabrator shot blast systems are available for narrow, medium and wide strip and are well proven in this field of application.
Tube Descaling
Wheelabrator Skew Roll machines are designed specifically for the external surface treatment of tubular products such as pipes, rods, bars and cylindrical tanks.
Most often these are used for rust removal, general steel cleaning, etching, profiling and peening.
