Heat Cleaning

Our Material Processing Division arises from the growth incapability of our other divisions and the demand from our existing customers to perform ancillary services which, although related to friction material fabrication technologies, are services which can be applied to a much wider range of materials and products.

We routinely prepare metal parts by heat cleaning and/or abrasive blasting. Our ovens range in size from kitchen sized test ovens to 10 ft square. Most are programmable and can heat to 850 ºF for removal of adhesive, paint and rubber as well as worn friction material. We have a 48 in Pangborn rotary blaster as well as a Wheelabrator Tumble blast machine.
