Production revs up
January 1st 2006 The Wheelabrator Group has provided new surface preparation and finishing equipment to turbocharger manufacturer and reconditioner, Holset Engineering.
A vibratory bowl machine, three table type blasting machines, two basket type washing machines and six ultrasonic cleaning systems will allow the customer to carry out cleaning, peening, washing and vibratory finishing processes at its Huddersfield site.
Remanufacturing team leader, Simon Brierley, says "The machines have helped us achieve a more efficient production line with parts now only taking four days from strip to rebuild. The six ultrasonic machines are effective at removing oil and carbon residues from the aluminium components, leaving them in an optimum condition ready for shot blasting and this has reduced the blasting time needed."
