When it comes to industrial cleaning, speed, consistency, and precision are essential for maintaining a productive workflow. The Wheelblast Model 3 Airblast Tumbler is designed to meet these needs head-on. Built with innovative features like an oscillating nozzle array, J-belt tumbler, and a programmed cleaning cycle, this machine ensures your parts come out clean, uniform, and ready for the next stage of production.
Whether you’re in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, or metalworking, the Wheelblast Model 3 delivers unmatched performance for small to medium-sized parts. Its smart design allows for better blast coverage, faster cleaning cycles, and reduced operational costs.
Key Features That Set the Wheelblast Model 3 Apart
1. Oscillating Siphon Nozzle Array
Unlike static nozzles that only blast from a fixed position, the Wheelblast Model 3’s oscillating nozzle array provides complete, 360-degree blast coverage for parts of all shapes and sizes.
- The nozzles move in a precise oscillating pattern, ensuring every angle and crevice of the part is thoroughly cleaned.
- This motion improves cleaning uniformity and reduces the need for multiple cycles.
- Achieve faster and more effective results, even on parts with complex geometries.
2. Rubber J-Belt Tumbler
The “J” belt tumbler is a game-changer for cleaning small to medium-sized parts. This unique design gently tumbles the parts, exposing all surfaces to the blast stream.
- The continuous tumbling action ensures every side of the part is blasted, resulting in consistent, uniform cleaning.
- Ideal for parts with irregular shapes, as each piece is rotated in a random yet complete pattern.
- Reduces manual labor as there’s no need to reposition parts during cleaning.
3. 3 Cubic Feet Capacity
Need to clean more parts in fewer cycles? The 3 cubic feet capacity of the Wheelblast Model 3 can handle it.
- Clean larger batches at once, reducing production downtime and increasing throughput.
- The high-capacity design allows for more efficient production, saving both time and labor costs.
- Suitable for bulk loads, so operators can clean multiple parts at the same time, increasing efficiency and productivity.
4. Type “C” Vortex Separator
Dust and debris can contaminate abrasive material, impacting the quality of the blast. The Wheelblast Model 3 solves this problem with its Type “C” Vortex Separator.
- The vortex separator filters dust, debris, and fines from reusable abrasive, ensuring only clean material is recycled.
- By using cleaner abrasives, you improve the consistency of the cleaning process while reducing wear and tear on the machine.
- Extend the life of your abrasive materials and lower overall operating costs.
5. Programmed Cleaning Cycle
Gone are the days of manual cleaning cycles. The Wheelblast Model 3 features a programmed cleaning cycle, allowing operators to automate the process.
- Set precise cleaning times to achieve consistent, repeatable results.
- Reduce the need for hands-on intervention and increase productivity.
- Operators can run the machine on autopilot, freeing up labor for other essential tasks.
Common Uses for the Wheelblast Model 3 Airblast Tumbler
The Wheelblast Model 3 is the ideal choice for industries that require efficient, consistent cleaning of parts. Here’s how it fits into specific sectors:
- Automotive Industry: Clean gears, fasteners, and small engine parts with ease. The J-Belt tumbler’s uniform cleaning action ensures each part is ready for use or further processing.
