Metal and steel will unavoidably experience rust and corrosion, especially in exterior environments. ATHI shot blasting can clean surfaces and polish or strengthen the metals. ATHI sand blasting can strip paint, prepare material for painting or coating, and even improve the characteristics of the surface, like fatigue resistance.
Mechanical Descaling Solutions
Mechanical descaling can remove unwanted surface deposits on metals to provide a smooth surface finish. You can use shot blasting to clean steel profiles and steel plates before being painted or welded. Shot blasting machines mechanically propel abrasive through a centrifugal wheel to remove a layer of deposits and impurities from the metal and steel surfaces.
There are three main purposes that require shot blasting before finishing the product:
- Clean and de-scale the surfaces of metal castings & forgings.
- Enhance the adhesion of paints and coatings to metal surfaces.
- Remove the deposits & impurities to change the properties of the metal or steel surface.
Steel Plate and Sheet Descaling
Rolled steel products have applications in many manufacturing fields and their surfaces must be clean and free from rust or scale for corrosion protection and preservation and subsequent coating. ATHI offers efficient blasting equipment for descaling, such as the ATHI Series Structural Steel Work Shot Blasting Machine, suitable for the surface preparation and painting process of steel plates, profiles, and structures in shipbuilding, locomotives, automobiles, bridges, machines, etc.
Some benefits of the ATHI Steel Work Shot Blasting Machine
- The arrangement of the shot blasting wheel is optimized by computer simulation, and the kinetic energy of the upper and lower steel shot is uniformly distributed.
- The service life of rolled Mn13 can reach 15,000 hours. Reduce maintenance costs, and lower labor intensity.
- 3D modular design, all parts are 100% reinforced and sealed with bolts and sealing strips. Convenient for installation, disassembly, and maintenance.
The Preservation Line
The QXY series Steel Plate Preservation Line combines the different stages of blasting and priming. It is mainly used for surface treatment of steel plates and various types of structural steel (including preheating, rust removal, painting, and drying, ways of preheating can be optional as per users’ situation). ATHI offers roller conveyors and preservation lines that can blast a max 6.2m wide steel plate at high quality – and we’re working on larger sizes.
The steel plate preservation line is pre-welding equipment for the surface shot blasting and rust removal of steel plates. The pretreatment of steel can improve the fatigue resistance of the steel plate, improve the corrosion resistance of mechanical products and metal components, and prolong their service life. It can also optimize the production state of the steel surface, which is beneficial to CNC cutting machine blanking and precision blanking. Therefore, the use of steel pretreatment can significantly reduce the labor intensity of the cleaning work and environmental pollution and improve the efficiency of the cleaning work.
Concerning the speed of operation of the preprocessing line, ATHI can meet users’ requirements, such as connecting multiple shot blasting machines in series and ways to increase the power of the shot blasting machine. Contact us for a free customized solution.
Tube Descaling
ATHI offers shot blasting machines explicitly designed for the external surface treatment of tubular products such as pipes, rods, bars, and cylindrical tanks such as QG Series steel pipe outer/inner surface shot blasting machine and 3PE coating line. These are often used for rust removal, general steel cleaning, etching, and profiling.
Steel Pipe Inner Surface Shot Blasting Machine
The Steel Pipe Inner Surface Shot Blasting Machine is suitable for the inner surface treatment of steel pipe products. It can remove the surface oxide scale, welding slag, and other debris, exhibit a metallic luster and increase the surface area to facilitate the coating of the workpieces. You can use it in petrochemical, steel, urban central heating, water supply, and drainage industries.
Steel Pipe Outer Shot Blasting Machine
The Steel Pipe Outer Shot Blasting Machine is a new type of shot blasting equipment suitable for pre-treatment of steel pipes such as tap water, natural gas, mines, oil fields, etc., and shot blasting for pipelines such as pipelines subsea or desert, gas, etc. It can improve the appearance quality and surface process condition.
3PE Anti-corrosion Coating Line
3PE Anti-corrosion Coating Line is suitable for protecting oil, water, natural gas, and other steel pipelines with complex terrain and severe corrosion. The structural stability of PE elements is very high, so without secondary anti-corrosion equipment, it can resist the corrosion of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, artificial gas, and other chemical subjects. The chemical of soil does not produce any effects on the pipe. 3PE coated steel pipelines won’t add heavy metal stabilizers during the manufacturing process. The PE material has no poison and harm. It is a kind of green material that can be recycled and will not cause pollution to the environment.
