Parts, now picked directly off a shaker conveyor, hang in baskets on the overhead monorail. To cool the extremely hot parts, they leave the building on a zig-zag conveyor line at a speed of 10 ft/min prior to returning to the monorail shot-blast machine. Castings then leave the blast machine, gain elevation, enter a cleaning room, and undergo automatic or manual grinding.
As a continuous monorail system, the Wheelabrator machine never stops moving. Its construction is heavy-duty manganese and abrasive-resistant steel, making it sand-resistant for foundry work.
The monorail features 12 V-lock blades and a Targetlock control cage and uses 26 1/2-in. Autoblast wheels. Wheels run at 1,800 rpm, and once a pattern is set, they change easily.
Machine cast wheel housings require end liners, but not side liners. A direct-drive flange mount permits easy maintenance because no alignment is required.
