Blasting, Painting and Coating
Blasting
BendTec utilizes steel shot and grit blasting equipment for most of its blast cleaning requirements. The major equipment for this cleaning is:- A Guttmann wheel blasting machine which uses a roller conveyor to move the material through the cabinet
- A blast room 30 feet long, 12 feet wide and 15 feet high which uses Vacublast blast recovery and recycle system
- Sand blasting equipment for metals other than steel
Painting
A ventilated and heated paint room with overhead conveying equipment is used for much of the painting requirements.
Fusion Bond Epoxy Coating
a 300 KW Pillar induction heating unit heats the pipe to about 500 degrees Farenheit and epoxy powder is fused onto the pipe surface using electrostatic spraying equipment where it melts and then solidifies upon cooling to provide an excellent corrosion resistant coating for pipe which is to be buried underground.
