Horizontal shot blasting
of tanks and floors
1. Shot blasting of hydrocarbon tanks:
Shot blasting of bottoms and roofs of oil and hydrocarbon storage tanks; this procedure is mandatory when:
- A steel roughness between 75µ and 100µ or more is recommended for ideal bonding of coating systems of thickness 2mm or more.
- A very high level of cleanliness of the steel surface is required to receive the coating system.
- A very high level of cleanliness of the steel surface is required to control pre-cracks on the sheet or weld seams.
- The speed of the work is required especially in urgent cases such as inspection of the thickness of the tank bottom or roof plates which requires a short time especially for tanks with a large diameter.
2. Concrete floor:
The purpose of shot blasting concrete floors is to improve the roughness of the surface and to prepare the floor to receive the different coating systems.
Our company has a horizontal shot blasting machine with a working width of 52 cm with a robust drive motor of 22.5 KW which guarantees a perfect surface condition for the inspection or reception of the different coating systems.
