Table wheel blasting machine with single wheel and single rotating table. Installed for the cleaning of castings in Gauteng.

Wheel blasting machines are the workhorses of production-scale shot blasting — faster, more energy-efficient, and more repeatable than cabinet or booth blasting. Tilghman Rotoblast manufactures the full range of wheel blast configurations — hanger machines for fabricated components, table machines for flat workpieces, tumblast machines for batch blasting of castings, and plate and pipe cleaners for continuous through-feed cleaning of structural steel. The installation gallery below shows wheel blast projects completed across South Africa, from 4-wheel Wheelabrator-style units installed in Durban automotive plants through to hanger machines built for foundry environments and scaffold-component blasters designed for the scaffold rental industry. Whether you need a single-wheel machine for small production runs or a multi-wheel plate cleaner for continuous operation, our team will design, manufacture and commission the machine in our Benoni factory. For detailed specifications see our wheel blasting machines product page, or scroll through the installations below to see wheel blast solutions already running in South African fabrication shops, foundries and forge shops.
