Concrete Block Shot Blast Machine

Concrete Block Shot Blast Machine

Technology:

Wheelblast

Application:

Surface Texturing

Industry:

Light/ Medium

Process:

Continuous

Key Benefits

Whilst lowering your cost per part, high values can be added to your concrete products due to the consistent, uniform quality finish achieved at high process speed.

Features

  • The adjustable blast wheels provide a very uniform surface result, even at high speeds
  • This is assured by smooth/stepless speed control, electro-pneumatic dosage regulation and optimal blast wheel positioning
  • Furthermore, the use of hardened tool steel for the blast wheel wear parts assures a long service life

Applications

Surface texturing of concrete products like:

  • Blocks
  • Slabs
  • Kerbstones

High Quality Blasting and Efficiency

Wheelabrator concrete block shot blast machines perform efficient and high quality blasting of concrete products like blocks, slabs and kerbstones.

The advantage: the blast process creates a unique character of the blocks, with a high quality surface appearance, which in turn creates added value to the product. 

Reliable Process Technology

The flexible design and control of the machine provides the optimum blasting process for various concrete products. This is most important as concrete is a delicate material: to ensure the desired finish / appearance is achieved, the blast pattern must be uniform, and the patterns from different wheels should not overlap. 

The optional use of two, three or four blast wheels in special positioning and with programmed start/stop functionality, allows the targeted treatment of both the horizontal and vertical visible surfaces – e.g. on fence blocks, kerbstones or block steps.

The concrete block blast machine can be integrated into a production line due to its modern control system with the relevant interfaces, different belt lengths and well coordinated transfer stations (e.g. sheets or rollers). The machines can be operated easily using a Siemens Touchpanel.

Wheelabrator concrete block shot blast machines can be sized to treat workpiece widths from 600 to 1500 mm. Both indexing and continuous operations are possible. The belt runs smoothly, at speeds from 2.5m/min to 14m/min.

Advantages

  • The adjustable blast wheels provide a very uniform surface result, even at high speeds.
  • This is assured by smooth/stepless speed control, electro-pneumatic dosage regulation and optimal blast wheel positioning.
  • Furthermore, the use of hardened tool steel for the blast wheel wear parts assures a long service life.
Whilst lowering your cost per part, high values can be added to your concrete products due to the consistent, uniform quality finish achieved at high process speed.

Blow-off Station

Stainless steel shot is the preferred abrasive for concrete applications. After blasting, a blow-off station with a high pressure blower removes the shot from the surface of the concrete blocks. The nozzles are adjustable in height and therefore adaptable for the treatment of different concrete block sizes.
