Viking Rod and Bar Shot Blasters are designed for efficient, continuous surface preparation of round bar, rod, and rebar in any diameter. These systems provide a fast, consistent way to remove rust, mill scale, oxidation, and other surface contaminants before downstream manufacturing or finishing operations. The system can also be optimized for peening applications to achieve specified intensity and coverage requirements.
As material moves through the blast chamber via your existing or new coiling equipment, strategically positioned blast wheels propel abrasive media at high velocity across the entire exterior surface. The result is a uniform finish that can improve coating adhesion, machining consistency, forging preparation, and overall product quality.
Proper surface preparation can also help reduce problems later in the manufacturing process. Removing scale, corrosion, and other contaminants before coating, fabrication, or additional processing improves finish quality, reduces rework, and provides a more dependable surface for subsequent operations.
Viking Rod and Bar Shot Blasters can be engineered around your specific production requirements, including material diameter, processing speed, desired surface finish or peening specifications, and available floor space. Our systems are built for demanding industrial environments with durable components, efficient abrasive recovery, and convenient access for routine maintenance.
Whether you are preparing bar, rod, or rebar for coating, machining, forging, fabrication, peening, or another manufacturing process, Viking can provide a Bar/Rod Shot Blasting System designed to deliver consistent results, reliable performance, and increased productivity.
