Fully-controlled blasting process
An important process for guaranteeing a long lifespan is the application of a plasma coating to protect the surface of the metal. Prior to this coating process, oxides, etc., have to be removed from the surface and the surface has to be roughened; for this step in the process Straaltechniek International developed a high-end grit blasting machine with a fully-controlled blasting process. This means that quality is guaranteed and the process variation is virtually zero.
The emphasis for Straaltechniek International installations is on quality assurance; processes with a repetitive nature are automated as much as possible. This guarantees the best, most consistent quality at the lowest cost.
