Strip, Wire & Bar Machines
Wheelabrator’s Strip, Wire &Bar Machines are purpose-built shot blast systems for the inline processing of long, continuous materials such as steel strip,wire coil, bar stock, and rod.Designed for high-speed,high-volume environments,these machines deliver precise, uniform surface treatment while integrating seamlessly into rolling,drawing, coating, or finishing lines.
With tailored blast wheel configurations and adaptable inlet/outlet sealing systems,the range ensures effective descaling, cleaning, and preparation of metallic products without interrupting continuous production flow.
