A manufacturer of wind
turbine gears is enjoying a 60 per cent increase in output thanks to
Wheelabrator Group.
Due to expansion, the Finnish based manufacturer required
additional machinery to treat turbine components and keep up with growing
business demands. During manufacture, the turbine gearboxes and systems pick up
scale through a heat treatment process. The rotary table wheelblast machines
are used to remove media from components up to two metres in diameter and
length. Due to its suitability in cleaning large, heavy and awkward to handle
components, a table type wheel blast machine was the ideal solution. Easy
access to the machine allows the parts to be loaded onto the table within the
blast chamber with minimal effort. The table then rotates under the blast
stream from one or two blast wheels allowing maximum exposure and a high
production efficiency.
