Shipyards blast plates, stiffeners and fabricated blocks before primer to remove mill scale and create a coating profile that holds in marine service. Airo Shot Blast Equipments supplies plate and structural machines sized to yard throughput and plate thickness.
Share plate sizes, primer spec and required output — an engineer sends a budgetary configuration.
Common production scenarios where shot blasting delivers the best finish, adhesion and throughput.
Pre-paint / Powder-coat prep
Remove mill scale and create a controlled profile for strong coating adhesion (Sa 2.5 / Sa 3).
Anti-corrosion surface cleaning
Uniform blast cleaning for steel plates, beams and fabricated structures before primer / epoxy.
Structural & fabrication lines
High-throughput processing on conveyor / roller lines with consistent finish and repeatable output.
Weld seam / scale removal
Clean weld areas, edges and heat-affected zones to improve coating quality and inspection readiness.
Deburring & edge rounding
Remove burrs and sharp edges on components for safer handling and better downstream fit-up.
Single-pass finish targets
Optimized media + wheel setup to achieve full cleaning in one pass with predictable surface profile.
A practical flow used on production lines to consistently hit Sa 2.5 / Sa 3 targets with the right profile.
