The EdgeBlast Tunnel Overhead Rail is the ultimate solution for the continuous surface preparation of large, complex, or heavy workpieces. By utilising an overhead monorail (or power-and-free conveyor), parts travel through a "curtain-sealed" blast chamber where multiple high-velocity turbines provide 360-degree coverage. It is the gold standard for structural steel frames, agricultural equipment, and heavy vehicle chassis production.
Key Technical Specifications:
Process: Continuous Pass-through Overhead Monorail Blasting.
Conveyor Type: Single-track, Y-track, or Continuous Loop Monorail.
Blast Wheels: High-performance direct-drive turbines (arranged for 3D part saturation).
Chamber Design: Multi-stage vestibules with heavy-duty rubber "leak-proof" curtains.
Finish Standard: Sa 2.5 (Class 2.5) "Near White Metal" finish.
Recovery: Full-cycle abrasive recovery with high-efficiency air-wash separation.
Filtration: Integrated pulse-jet cartridge dust extraction (EPA-compliant).
Top 5 "EdgeBlast Tunnel" Advantages:
True Line Integration: The "Tunnel" design allows the machine to become a part of your assembly line. Connect it to your wash, paint, and bake stations for a 100% automated finishing flow.
Unbeatable 3D Coverage: Because parts are suspended and moving, our multi-angle turbine layout hits every internal face, gusset, and weldment. No "flipping" or "re-handling" required.
High-Capacity Tonnage: Designed for 24/7 operation. Whether you're processing 10-meter structural frames or hundreds of smaller components, the Tunnel Series handles it at industrial speeds.
Zero Manual Handling: Once the part is hung on the rail at the start of the line, it doesn't need to be touched until it is finished and painted. This dramatically reduces labour costs and OH&S risks.
Clean Room Environment: The high-velocity dust extraction creates a negative pressure zone inside the tunnel, ensuring no grit or dust escapes into your painting or assembly areas.
