Wheelabrator® plate systems are fully-automated and designed to descale and remove rust from plate and structural members. The Wheelabrator horizontal shot blast plate machine models have been specially developed to meet the needs of various industries. This high productivity system, effectively cleans large work pieces, eliminating the environmental problems and high labor costs associated with manual air blasting.

Wheelabrator plate machines are available for plate sizes up to 15 ft. wide and can easily be integrated into Wheelabrator Preservation Lines for automatic painting. Depending on customers’ needs, there are three models to choose from and each comes equipped with a pass height range of 20-inches to 48-inches with custom heights available on request. The plate machines come with EZEFIT® blast wheels that have a history of outstanding performance and reliability while increasing productivity and reducing maintenance.

The plate system blast compartments are constructed of manganese steel and equipped with replaceable in line liners designed for a heavy-duty continuous operation using steel shot blast media. Roll conveyors are situated to meet varying part load and length requirements by individual customers. A combination of brush and blow-off options also contributes to the ease of automatic operations. The low profile system provides a reduced overall height, allowing for installation in facilities with limited height requirements. This enables most routine maintenance and inspection to be performed near floor level; a convenient and efficient solution for any plant site.
