Coil blast and Wire Descaling (CBM)
The Coil blast and Wire Descaling (CBM) machine is a high-efficiency, continuous shot blast system designed specifically for the inline descaling and surface preparation of coiled wire and strip. Tailored for integration into drawing, galvanising, or coating lines, the CBM delivers consistent, high-speed cleaning performance with minimal abrasive loss and maximum uptime.
Featuring a compact, sealed blast chamber with precision blast wheel placement, the CBM ensures full 360° exposure of the material while in motion, making it ideal for round, flat, or shaped wire and strip profiles.
Applications
- Descaling of hot-rolled or annealed wire and rod
- Surface preparation prior to drawing, galvanising, or coating
- Cleaning of wire or strip before coiling, cutting, or further forming
- Removal of rust, oxides, and light scale from long, continuous products
