The right pitching beam turbine delivers big bucks

Not surprisingly, GN® turbines from Blasting Technology International have been riding high in the market since their introduction in 2012. The unique, patented design of these pitching jet turbines reduce costs to a minimum and make them last up to 30% longer.

The Achilles heel of traditional pitch jet turbines is in the blades. This is because they are subjected to high internal peaks of bending stress resulting in fractures. The revolutionary design of the GN® turbines from Blasting Technology International does away with this. The blade has been given full-width support. The support body consists of forward-curved carbide blades and an ingenious blade support. This innovation increases the exit velocity, improves abrasive flow and significantly extends the economic life of the blades. Edwin Houweling, managing director Blasting Technology International: "This development guarantees high yields, low energy consumption and minimal maintenance costs. Moreover, the turbines are easily interchangeable and fit into a wide selection of existing turbine housings. This allows us to determine for each customer which GN turbine will give him the most benefit."

Wide range, ample stock

That is not the only asset that Blasting Technology International can bring to the table. The company has specialized in surface technology for more than 30 years, with its own branches in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway Slovenia and Slovakia. "Thanks to the wide range of techniques and blasting media in the portfolio, everyone can find something to their liking with us. Our installations range from small to large, from simple to fully automated. As a result, we can count companies from the entire spectrum of metalworking among our customers. From the steel industry to aerospace, from the food industry to the medical world," Houweling says proudly. "In addition, we pride ourselves on service, maintenance and after-sales. We keep a large stock of blasting media and accessories in our warehouses. That way, customers are always back up and running in no time."
