Wheelabrator Spinner Hanger Machine - Ideal for Facilities with Minimal Floor Space Requirements


Burlington, ON - (May, 2009) - Wheelabrator Group offers two model types of Spinner Hanger machines, WS 2/275 and WS 4/210A. Each machine is designed to handle the cleaning and preparation of odd-shaped parts and components that cannot be adapted to a table or Tumblast® machine. Parts are loaded onto a work fixture hanger, rotated during the blast cycle and cleaned from multiple angles. This blast coverage can cost effectively adapt to a broad range of production requirements. Facilities with limited work space benefit from the compact size of both machines. The two models are ideal for the following applications: diecast deflashing, scale and rust removal, peening, profiling, and surface finishing.

The WS 2/275 Spinner Hanger is built from 3/8-inch thick manganese steel for excellent protection in steel shot applications. Each work fixture connection consists of a 2-inch diameter steel shaft protected by a specially-fitted sleeve for connecting customer supplied work fixture and it rotates in two (2) externally mounted bearings at approximately 15 RPM. The rotation is achieved by a gear motor driving a solid rubber tire. The system has two (2) single sided blast wheel units that are seven (7) bladed and direct driven by a 7.5 HP motor.

The WS 4/210A Spinner Hanger is built with a four (4) compartment turnstile manufactured from 3/8-inch manganese steel plate. The system consists of two (2) 13.5-inch diameter Autoblast® wheel assemblies direct driven by 10 HP motors. Each chamber features one (1) hook mounted to a 2-inch diameter steel shaft where parts and components are attached and rotated at 15 RPM. The operator-friendly system comes equipped with easy access index buttons and a stop/start light control located at the load station for indexing the turnstile.
