Abrasive Blasting for Metal Parts
In addition, the company operates three computer-controlled furnaces at their site to break down paint on steel parts, reducing chemical usage and environmental concerns. The three furnaces operate at 800°F to thermally destroy the bonding agents of paint. The residues from the paint are removed with a mild acid and rinse or by blasting. Rust inhibitors are then applied to the parts for protection.
The company also utilizes fill containment in its chemical paint stripping operations. All spent liquids are pumped, filtered, and treated for recovery and waste disposal. The company employs large dip tanks and hoist to handle parts, along with several high-pressure water rinse guns, some of which are heated. The company states that they are able to handle most alloys and to deliver clean, ready to coat parts back to customers.
