Selecting the right wheel blast system isn’t simply a matter of choosing the biggest machine or the fastest production rate. The most effective solution depends on your parts, your production process, and your finishing requirements.
- Should your parts tumble freely?
- Do they require individual presentation?
- Are you processing large structural components or high volumes of smaller parts?
- Is continuous inline production a priority?
These are the same questions Gibson’s engineering team asks when evaluating a new application.
To simplify the process, we’ve created a Wheel Blast System Selection Guide that provides a quick comparison of Gibson’s primary equipment platforms. The guide highlights the types of parts and production environments best suited for Tumble Blasters, Table Blasters, Spinner Hangers, and Continuous Inline Systems, making it easier to identify which platform may be the best starting point for your application.
While every manufacturing process is unique, this quick-reference guide helps manufacturers narrow their options before speaking with one of our application engineers. It’s an excellent resource for production managers, manufacturing engineers, plant managers, and anyone researching abrasive blasting equipment.
If you’re still unsure which system best fits your requirements, Gibson’s Demonstration Lab provides application testing and process evaluation using your actual parts. Our engineering team can recommend the most effective wheel blast solution based on your production goals, part geometry, and desired surface finish.
