Wire Mesh Belt Blasters
Whether preparing castings for machining, removing flash from molded components, cleaning weldments, or preparing parts for painting or powder coating, Gibson engineers every wire mesh system around the customer's production requirements and manufacturing process.
Wire Mesh Belt Systems are designed for manufacturers that need to process a steady stream of components with minimal interruption. Components can be placed individually or in groups on the conveyor, allowing manufacturers to maximize throughput while reducing manual handling.
As parts travel through the blast chamber, multiple blast wheels clean exposed surfaces while the conveyor maintains a controlled production speed. Variable frequency drives allow both conveyor speed and blasting intensity to be optimized for different part sizes, materials, and surface preparation requirements.
Because parts are presented continuously rather than in batches, manufacturers can significantly increase productivity while maintaining consistent blasting results.
Wire Mesh Belt Systems are particularly well suited for processing multiple loose or irregularly shaped components that benefit from continuous flow through the blasting process. The open wire mesh conveyor allows manufacturers to process many parts at one time, making these systems ideal for high-volume production environments. Typical applications include:
Steel Castings
Multi-Size Parts Kits
Zinc Die Castings
Weldments
Automotive Parts
Descaling
Rust Removal
Deburring
Every Gibson Wire Mesh Belt Wheel Blast System is engineered around the customer’s manufacturing process and production objectives.
During system design, Gibson evaluates:
Rather than adapting production to fit a standard machine, Gibson engineers the blasting system to fit the customer’s manufacturing process.
Every Wire Mesh Belt System is configured to meet the specific requirements of the application.
Depending on the application, systems may include:
Each system is engineered to balance throughput, blast coverage, abrasive efficiency, and long-term equipment reliability.
Wire Mesh Belt Wheel Blast Systems are commonly used throughout industries including:
Manufacturers processing a variety of part sizes often choose wire mesh systems because they provide exceptional flexibility while supporting continuous production.
One example is manufacturers that assemble aftermarket or industrial parts kits. By arranging multiple components together on the wire mesh conveyor, an entire kit can be blasted during a single pass through the machine. All parts exit the blast chamber clean, consistently finished, and ready for the next production step, helping reduce handling and improve overall manufacturing efficiency.
Continuous manufacturing requires more than moving parts through a blast machine—it requires integrating surface preparation into the overall production workflow.
Gibson Wire Mesh Belt Wheel Blast Systems are engineered to help manufacturers increase throughput, reduce manual handling, and maintain consistent blasting quality across high-volume production environments. From loose castings and weldments to mixed component batches and complete parts kits, every system is designed to support efficient material flow while delivering reliable, repeatable surface preparation.
Wire Mesh Belt Systems are ideal for parts that can travel continuously on an open conveyor while remaining stable throughout the blasting process.
Because parts rest directly on the wire mesh, small contact points between the component and the belt may create a slight “shadow” or “blinding” effect where abrasive cannot directly reach the underside of the part. During the application review process, Gibson evaluates whether these contact areas are acceptable for the intended surface preparation or whether an alternate platform may provide more complete coverage.
The wire mesh belt also makes these systems particularly well suited for processing multiple components simultaneously, but very large fabrications or suspended workpieces are often better suited for Gibson Monorail Blast Systems, while structural steel and heavy plate applications are typically more appropriate for Gibson Roller Conveyor Systems.
Selecting the right inline platform depends on part geometry, production flow, handling requirements, and finishing objectives. Gibson’s engineering team works closely with customers to determine the best solution for each application.
If your operation needs consistent surface preparation for parts that can be conveyed through a blast chamber, Gibson can help you choose the right wire mesh belt blaster for your workflow.
