Overhead Monorail (HB)

TUMBLAST® Barrel Blast Machine (BBM) ​​| Wheelabrator

The HB Overhead Monorail is a compact, flexible shot blast solution designed for the efficient cleaning, descaling, and peening of components in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Suitable for both small batches and large work pieces, the HB system combines high-performance TITAN® blast wheels with a rotating hook mechanism and a Y-track overhead rail for seamless part handling and full surface coverage.

Compact in footprint yet powerful in operation, the HB system delivers reliable, uniform cleaning results while offering easy integration into existing workflows.
