USED 1985 WHEELABRATOR TUMBLAST TBR-12

Wheelabrator TBR-12 Tumblast | 12 Cu. Ft. Capacity | 30 HP Blast Wheel High-Volume Batch Processing | Heavy-Duty Rubber Mill | Industrial Abrasive ReclaimThis Wheelabrator TBR-12 is an industrial workhorse, engineered for high-intensity batch cleaning of castings, forgings, and heat-treated components. As a 12-cubic-foot "TBR" model, it utilizes a heavy-duty reinforced rubber belt to tumble parts gently but effectively, ensuring 360-degree exposure to the high-velocity shot stream provided by its 30 HP blast wheel.Built during Wheelabrator’s era of legendary "over-engineered" durability, this machine is ideal for facilities that require rapid cycle times and aggressive descaling. The integrated bucket elevator and air-wash separator ensure that only clean, effective abrasive is returned to the wheel, extending the life of internal wear parts and maintaining a consistent surface finish.Massive Cleaning Power: The 30 HP wheel provides a high abrasive flow rate, allowing for "near-white" metal finishes in short 5-10 minute cycles.Tumble-Proof Design: The rubber belt mill prevents part-on-part damage while providing the necessary agitation for uniform cleaning.Complete Reclamation: Features a high-capacity abrasive recycling system with a rotary screen to remove "fins" and debris.Rugged 1980s Build: Heavy-gauge steel cabinet and cast-iron internal liners designed for 24/7 industrial production environments.Ease of Maintenance: Non-proprietary mechanical components and easily accessible motor mounts make this unit a favorite for maintenance teams.Technical SpecificationsWork Capacity: 12 Cubic Feet (approx. 1,500 – 2,000 lbs max load).Blast Wheel: (1) 30 HP high-velocity wheel (typically the EZE-FIT or Curvane style).Mill Belt: Heavy-duty reinforced rubber tumble belt with 0.31” drain holes.Overall Dimensions: Approx. 8' W x 12' D x 16' H (Requires high ceiling clearance for the elevator).Electrical: 230V or 460V / 3-Phase / 60Hz.Abrasive Reclamation: Bucket elevator with rotary screen and air-wash separator.Safety: Pneumatic vertical door with safety interlocks and secondary abrasive catch.
