Storage Tank Blast Machines

The Vertical Blast Machine Series has been developed mainly for the preparation of vertical steel surfaces. The design of the blast head provides recovery of abrasive by kinetic energy and vacuum providing major benefits over conventional methods. Type 1 Used to blast clean vertical surfaces of storage tanks and ships hulls moving from left to right. The system is remote controlled and can be operated by one person on ground level. A suitable painting system can be simultaneously attached and a camera system included for inspection of the blasted or coated surface. Type 2 Used to blast clean the internal shell of oil storage tanks up to 2 metres from the floor. The blast head is mounted in a mobile framework and the type 2 is driven around the perimeter of the tank during the blast cleaning process. As one pass is completed the blast head is raised inside the framework and the process repeated. This is the only system manufactured worldwide specifically for this purpose.
