Titanic Solutions From Market Leaders
03 August 2007
Market leading surface preparation expert Wheelabrator Group is helping companies wheel in improved product quality and consistency after launching the TITAN Turbine.
As the latest edition to its successful Equipment Modernisation Programme (EMP), the versatile TITAN turbine has been designed specifically to increase efficiency by improving the blast performance of existing machinery. It can be adapted to fit virtually any wheel blast machine, will lower media consumption, drastically reduce downtime and cut production costs.
Wheelabrator Group’s EMP activities have grown considerably over the last few years, as customers continue to recognise the benefits of upgrading and incorporating the latest technology into exisiting equipment.
Lawson Pryke, director of equipment modernisation programmes at Wheelabrator Group, said: “The TITAN Turbine is the result of extensive research and development and we believe it to be the best wheel available today. In some installations it has improved efficiency by more than 30%. By adding higher quality wheels to existing machinery, users can quickly achieve better production flows and reduced costs, as well as extending the life of valuable equipment.
“Training and spares support are included after installation and carried out by the team at Wheelabrator Plus, the after sales division of Wheelabrator Group. Maintenance is easy and doesn’t require a highly qualified engineer to complete operations. This makes TITAN a straight forward and beneficial addition to many production processes.”
With increased space between the blast wheel and the wear plates, noise levels are also dramatically reduced, creating a better working environment for all employees.
The Equipment Modernisation Programmes are part of the wider Wheelabrator Plus offering, which comprises an extensive range of equipment support services. These include training, maintenance, service and parts, consumables, polyuerethane fixtures and masking, plus media supplies for blasting, vibratory finishing and washing equipment.
