Rohner for Wheels and Rims
Wheel and rim finishing involves compact metal parts that still need careful handling, surface preparation, coating coverage and cure space. Rohner equipment in this category can include open-face booths, abrasive blast booths, powder coating booths, cure ovens and exhaust systems. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services the booth, oven, exhaust and utility connections that support wheel and rim finishing workflows.

Wheel Orientation And Coverage
Wheels and rims need access to faces, barrels, lips, bolt areas and edges. Racks, hooks, carts or turntables should be planned so operators can coat the full surface without awkward handling or contact marks. Booth size should account for the loaded rack, not only the wheel diameter.
Blast, Coat And Cure Movement
A typical flow may include abrasive blasting, cleaning, masking, powder or liquid coating, curing, cooling and inspection. The equipment arrangement should reduce cross traffic between dirty prep and clean coating while keeping racks moving smoothly into and out of the oven.
Compact Exhaust And Oven Needs
Wheel finishing cells can pack exhaust, powder recovery, oven heat and electrical service into a small footprint. Duct routing, control locations, oven door swing and cooling space should be coordinated before equipment is placed.
Access For Cleaning And Filters
Powder booths, blast cabinets, ovens and exhaust equipment need regular cleaning and service. Keep room for filter changes, reclaim access, light service, fan checks, oven seals and control panels so maintenance does not interrupt rack movement.
Frequently asked questions
What wheel details help with equipment layout?
Wheel diameter, width, rack spacing, coating type, masking needs, blast method, cure requirements and expected rack movement are useful details.
Why does rack design matter so much?
The rack determines spacing, coating access, oven loading, cooling space and how operators handle parts between blast, coating and inspection.
What utilities should be reviewed for a wheel finishing cell?
Review electrical service, compressed air, exhaust, oven heat where used, control wiring and available service space around the cell.
Can wheel finishing equipment be relocated?
It can be planned after reviewing booth and oven condition, duct sections, electrical and air connections, rigging paths and the new cell layout.
What maintenance access should be left open?
Leave room for powder recovery cleaning, filter changes, blast equipment service, oven door work, fan access and control panel service.
