SATURN blast wheel

Increase productivity and efficiency

• New design control cage channel increases abrasive flow by up to 20%
• Impellor has a 30% larger throat allowing more abrasive to be thrown whilst using less power
• Higher abrasive velocities reduce cycle time
• Long life convex blades: Achieve a better distribution of abrasive on large or batched workpieces and expand the hot spot to reduce the concentrated pattern impacting the cabinet between workpieces
• Lightweight parts utilize less energy

Reduce maintenance time and costs

• Higher abrasive velocities allow you to use a smaller sized abrasive to significantly reduce wear
• Precise balancing and machining processes produce extremely long life wear parts      
• Vibration and abrasive consumption are reduced by the exacting impelor casting process, which is concentric on 3 axes
• Motor failures caused by abrasive intrusion are eliminated by effective, integrated, frictionless hub seal
• Low maintenance times are achieved due to the 10 minute replacement
• Tune Up Kit – even by inexperienced technicians
• Time-consuming full removal of the cap nut and washer is unnecessary due to hinged lid and safety swing nuts
• Shot locking is greatly reduced thanks to the integrated Acme threads

Direct drive motor

Both the fabricated and cast housing SATURN HD units use a direct coupled motor to deliver the following benefits:

• Increased drive motor efficiencies by up to 20% 
• Lower wheel cost 
• Increased abrasive flow rates 
• Lower installation cost 
• Space requirement reduced by half compared to conventional blast wheel units
