Roller Conveyor (Type G)
The Wheelabrator Roller Conveyor Type G is a versatile and reliable shot blast solution designed for the continuous surface treatment of metal plates, profiles, and tubes. Engineered for medium-duty applications, it offers proven performance, a compact footprint, and flexible configuration options to suit a wide range of production requirements.
Available in widths from 600 mm to 3,000 mm, the Type G range can be supplied as standalone units or integrated into automatic transport, cutting, or bore line systems. With vertical blast wheel positioning and hardened manganese construction, it delivers consistent cleaning quality with excellent wear resistance.
Applications
- Rust and scale removal from steel plates and profiles
- Surface cleaning before welding, cutting, painting, or coating
- Corrosion removal from processed or stored materials
- Tube and pipe cleaning for general fabrication
