Iron Foundry Success with BCT

ISSUE:

Busy iron foundry was experiencing cleaning issues with their old Autoblast® wheels.

SOLUTION:

• Replaced (6) Autoblast® Wheels with BCT M3 e-Wheels™
• Updated blast wheel wall and repositioned wheels for better angles of attack
• Provided new MACV Abrasive Valves
• Installed new 72” HE Magnetic Separator due to heavy sand volumes

RESULTS:

• Improved cleaning times 30-40% on all castings
• Greatly improved overall blast coverage and part finish
• Significant motor life improvement due to better alignment and bare wheel balance
• Decreased maintenance downtime as wheels are so efficient
