Hardened tool steel has a significantly longer life time than cast material. Example of typical life times:
- Gietart (cast iron): approx. 300 hours
- TITAN (tool steel): approx. 1000 - 2000 hours
*TITAN may be unsuitable for sand applications.
TITAN’s double-disc design keeps abrasive on course and on target.
Gietart are single-disc and therefore less effective resulting in the potential for abrasive drifting out of the core assembly, causing wear and diluting blast results.
TITAN’s direct drive reduces energy consumption by 20%*
The result: greater cost efficiency and lower maintenance due to the elimination of maintenance and replacement of belts and bearings.
*20% electricity savings average
By upgrading to a next-generation blast wheel using state of the art technology, the TITAN can help your production become more cost effective and more efficient with less time required for maintenance. Better for you, better for your customers.
With advances in technology, the Gietart blast wheel is no longer fit for purpose. You might start to notice that:
➡️Your business's goals for sustainable processes is limited.
➡️ Lifetime of blades is not sufficient.
➡️ Maintenance time is too high.
➡️ Blast pattern is not optimal.
You could have bottlenecks in production resulting in delayed deliveries to customers and increases to your costs.
With the very latest advancements in blast wheel technology, the TITAN blast wheels:
➡️ Could help you get ahead for CSRD
➡️ Can assist with eliminating wastage
➡️ Aide in a more efficient and cost effective production line
TITAN blast wheels are made from hardened tool steel, and are designed for maximum uptime - significantly reducing maintenance time with exceptional blast results. With the plug-in and turntable blades of the TITAN, there is less maintenance. With this, comes reduced noise and wear characteristics.
For four generations, our steel manufacturing customer has remained under family ownership. They have a passion for ensuring the best quality output for their customer. This passion, has unpinned their output since 1935. They wanted to ensure their production was best in class and with TITAN, it just got better!
Our steel manufacturing customer had wheel's which were outdated and no longer providing them with the best output.
Through a modernization project with Wheelabrator, our customer swapped 16 of the Gietart wheels with just 4 of the TITAN wheels!
The reduction in the number of wheels has had great improvements.
The result: greater cost efficiency and less downtime!
Now is the time to get in touch and enjoy longer stretches of uninterrupted production with TITAN!
