TUMBLAST® Continuous (CT)

TUMBLAST® Continuous (CT) ​​| Wheelabrator

The TUMBLAST® Continuous is a high-capacity through-feed shot blast machine designed for continuous blast cleaning of castings and forgings in automated production environments. Work pieces are gently tumbled by an apron conveyor system while exposed to high-efficiency blast wheels, ensuring thorough and consistent cleaning of all surfaces.

Its modular design, fully automatic material handling, and optimized abrasive flow make it ideal for integration into foundry lines, delivering high throughput, reduced manual handling, and improved workplace safety
