Blasting in tank construction and sheet metal working

Blasting in tank construction and sheet metal working

Clean, properly prepared surfaces are the foundation for durable coatings and safe structures. When it comes to blasting in plant and vessel construction, Albrecht ensures professional surface cleaning and optimal preparation for subsequent processes.
Precise. Time-saving. In compliance with all quality specifications.

Beam processing in tank and plant construction

Professional surface preparation for industrial applications

Industrial blasting of tanks, welded structures and steel components is carried out to ensure thorough surface cleaning and technical preparation.

Whether it is descaling and blasting following flame cutting, blasting of welded structures or blasting prior to coating, we create the ideal base for paint finishes, corrosion protection systems or other surface treatments.

In-house processing

Blasting is a key part of our surface preparation process in plant and vessel construction. Following surface blasting in plant construction, components can be painted, coated, pickled or assembled straight away.

Integration into our overall manufacturing process ensures seamless workflows, from cutting and welding through to mechanical machining and final surface treatment.

Industrial blasting and coating of containers and pressure vessels

Industrial blasting of tanks and pressure vessels

Proper surface cleaning plays a crucial role, particularly in blasting techniques for pressure vessels.

Blasting welded structures removes scale, discolouration and contaminants, ensures specified surface roughness values and optimally prepares surfaces for corrosion protection or coating systems.

In plant and vessel construction, industrial blasting and coating contribute significantly to the longevity and quality of the entire system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about blasting in plant and vessel construction

Why is blasting necessary before coating?

Blasting as a surface preparation process completely removes scale, rust, welding residues and contaminants. At the same time, it creates a defined surface roughness which serves as a bonding base for coatings. Without proper blasting prior to coating, the service life of corrosion protection systems can be significantly reduced.

Which components can be sandblasted?

We undertake the blasting of steel components, stainless steel structures, welded assemblies and pressure vessels within the scope of our manufacturing capabilities. Even large-format components from the plant and vessel construction sectors can be blasted and further processed in-house.

What is the difference between sandblasting and shot blasting?

Sandblasting involves the use of abrasive media to remove scale, rust or old coatings. Shot blasting of stainless steel, on the other hand, produces a uniform surface finish and is frequently used for work hardening or to improve the appearance. The appropriate process is selected depending on the material and the requirements.

Is the irradiation process integrated into the overall process?

Yes. The industrial blasting of containers and structures is fully integrated into our production process. Components can be coated, painted or further processed immediately after blasting. This results in efficient processes without the need for external interfaces.
