Inefficient belt drive leads to more maintenance

Unnecessary pre-acceleration blast media

Lower maintenance with direct drive i.e. no belt & bearings

Better blast efficiency

Double disc wheel for better blast media control and more effective blasting process

50% reduction in time spend on maintenance 

20% lower energy costs from eliminating energy loss in belt drive

Superior blast results

Less waste of blast media

Cost & ROI 

 

Annual operating cost €27k for
1 machine with 4 blast wheels 

One off investment for 4 blast wheels €36k

Reduced annual operating costs of €18k

€9k annual cost savings

4-year payback under ideal conditions 
(operating 8 hours/day) 


Notes
1) Optimal for peening applications 2) An electricity saving of 20% from wheel output of 4 x 11kW w. avg. blast time of 240 days p.a. 0.27 €/kWh means a saving of approx. €3,400 per year 

AN ESSENTIAL INVESTMENT

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.

WHY UPGRADE?

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.

WHY TITAN?

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. 

CUSTOMER SUCCESS:STEEL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING

 

Our Customer Saves Significantly With TITAN

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. 

  • Life cycle improvement increased by a minimum of 200% with TITAN's tool steel parts
  • Production throughput up 15%
  • 50% maintenance savings
  • Direct drive allowing for approximately 20% energy loss. 

The result: greater cost efficiency and less downtime!
