Shipyards / Marine

The biggest challenge of working in the shipyard/marine industry is the sheer size of the work. Complete hulls, sections, sheet steel and components must be cleaned, treated and painted, necessitating equipment that can handle the large work load in an efficient manner. This calls for specific engineering capability, and Wheelabrator Group has many references of preservation lines, blast rooms and the materials handling equipment located all over the world.

Airblast Rooms - May be outfitted with abrasive reclaim and dust collection systems and can be customized to work within your existing facility.

Preservation Lines, Plate & Structural Steel Equipment - Designed for contaminant removal, surface profiling and the application of a prime coat of paint to large blasted surfaces.

Roller Conveyor Shot Blast Machines:  Provides one of the fastest and most even blasting methods for plates and flat profiles when the blast wheels are installed in line. For pipes and beams, the blast wheels are usually arranged to ensure thorough cleaning of side flanges and can blast up to six meters per minute.

Tumblast Machines - Batch finishing solutions for the cleaning and deburring of both small and large parts where part-on-part contact is not a consideration.

Dust Collection Equipment - Turns any work environment into a virtually dust-free setting.
