Plan B’s new Dura-Blast Skew Roll Conveyor Blast Machine
New for this year is our Dura-Blast skew roll line of equipment. Our skew roll machines can be custom matched to your application. We can change the number of blast wheels on the machine, horse power of the blast wheel assemblies, space between skews, lengths of the entrance and exit conveyors, and other available options.
Skew roll machines are great for blasting cylindrical shaped pieces or round bar, usually prior to applying some type of coating to the product. Rebar, pipe, pump casings, ammunition casings, and anything with a fairly round profile, with very minimal protrusions. The skews, being at an angle, roll the product as it passes through the machine, allowing most items to be properly blast cleaned and/or profiled in one pass, as long as there are an appropriate number of blast wheels for a given diameter product. Each blast wheel can cover about 24” in length, or around a 7-8” diameter profile.
Typically, a two-wheel machine is going to cover close to a 15” diameter product, in one pass. As with most Dura-Blast equipment, our PLC controlled panels allow the operators to select which wheel/wheels run, control the conveyor speed, and test run most of the motors and valves on the machine.
