Machinery for Alloy Wheel Repair Businesses
The machinery needed to refurbish and repair alloy wheels can be quite diverse depending on the scale and volume of business.
Whilst some machinery is specialised much is suitable for a wide range of work repairing and refurbishing vehicles or in metal working industries.
Shot Blasting
One of the key pieces of machinery is a shot blaster. This is a generic term for a machine that uses air or water to project 'shot' at a surface to clean, strip, roughen or smooth it. The shot, or media, can be a range of material such as steel balls, silica or walnut shells. Different shot gives different finishes.
Typically for alloy wheel repair a Shot Blasting Cabinet is used as it is a self contained, controlled environment that keeps debris and shot enclosed. Broadly in increasing capacity and performance:
- Suction shot blast cabinet: Compressed air is used to fire shot
- Pressure shot blast cabinet: Compressed air is used to fire shot but an intermediate reservoir, a pressure pot, is used to improve performance
- Wet blast cabinet: The media/shot is mixed with pressurised water
- Automated wheel blasting machine: A specialised machine designed specifically for alloy wheels for higher volume businesses
Cleaning Alloy Wheels for Coating
Before being painted or treated and alloy wheel needs to be properly an industrially cleaned of dust, oil and other contamination. A top loading basket washer is a flexible, effective machine for achieving a suitable, clean surface.
Powder Coating
If powder coating finishes are to be applied or reapplied to an alloy wheel then the basic machinery needed is:
- Powder Coating Booth to control and filter the powder overspray
- Powder Coating Guns to delivery the paint powder onto the surface
- Powder Coating Curing Ovens to bake/cure or dry the paint to a robust finish
