UDD Blast Wheel

Industrial Associates and Bronco Blast Equipment pioneered the direct drive airless shot blast wheel in 1981. For decades our blast wheels have been powerful, heavy-duty and easy to service. In 2018, we released our new generation of UDD Blast Wheels. The Bronco UDD Blast Wheel design reduces maintenance time, eliminates complexity and sets a new standard as the best value in a heavy-duty blast wheel. Upgrading to the Bronco UDD blast wheel means decreased cycle times, long parts life, easy part replacement and reduced downtime during regular maintenance.
