The automotive sector – both OEMs and their vendors are the prime users of the shot blasting and shot peening process. Since safety, speed, efficiency and reliability are important aspects in this industry, manufacturers are constantly upgrading their processes and adapting international norms and Wheelabrator works closely with the customers to meet this challenge.

Its compact range of overhead rail shot blast machines are often self-contained, pitiless, robustly built and designed for the economical and efficient surface treatment of a variety of work pieces. As a result of continual improvement and innovation, Wheelabrator overhead rail shot blast machines offer total flexibility for surface preparation needs.

Surface preparation equipment specialist Wheelabrator offers a wide range of equipment, services and parts. Major players in the foundry, automotive, aerospace, energy, marine, rail, construction and many other industries have used Wheelabrator Group’s products and services to improve productivity and profitability for over 100 years.

DISA India, one of the leading equipment manufacturers in India, offers advanced foundry and surface preparation process technology. DISA India offers foundry machinery under the brand DISA and surface preparation solutions under the brand Wheelabrator.

HB-I range of hanger solution are ideal for surface preparation or cleaning requirement of welded structures, fabrications, castings, forgings, etc., or shot peening of components. It is also imperative to note that the combined rotating and oscillating action in the blast chamber ensures that even the most complex work pieces are exposed to shot stream and blasting time is optimised to get efficient results and cutting running costs.

DISA India launched the HB-I-10/12 version of these machines in the Indian market  in year 2010 and subsequently added the next models. HB-I range of machines are manufactured and offered from DISA India Limited’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility based in Hosakote, Bengaluru.

A wheel is the heart of a shot blast machine and its design determines the performance and profitability of the machine. In HB-I range of shot blast machines, ROTO-JET blast wheels are used as standard. This ensures performance optimisation by introducing more efficiency and better wear life.

Salient features of the machine
• Smaller foot print
• Pit less: Machine can be easily moved if required
• Turbine wear parts are made of tool steel and thus long life
• Rotojet turbines: German impeller design for better performance
• Additional feature to check the hot spot
• Low running cost
• Door operation is through electromagnetic motor thus providing operator safety and with additional pneumatic lock to have proper sealing
• Easy to install, run and maintain
• Minimum or zero shot leakage
• Three position blasting in the chamber for uniform finish on the components
• Compact and effective cartridge type dust collector system which can be kept in shop floor itself.  Better pollution control
• Cartridge filter with less than 2 mg per cu.m. emission
• Hoist arrangement to reduce the loading/unloading height – optional feature
• Can be loaded with new batch of parts whilst the machine is in use.
