Surface preparation or abrasive shot blasting, under the specification of the SSPC Standard in its different types: SSPC-SP 6/NACE N°3 Commercial Shot Blasting, SSPC-SP 10/NACE N°2 Semi-White Shot Blasting, SSPC-SP 5/NACE N° 1 White Metal Shot Blasting.
Application of High Solids Epoxy Primer.
Final finish with High Solids Polyurethane Enamel, the method of paint application is by spraying.
Interior coatings are designed to work in high and low abrasion conditions, all components are FDA certified.
The exterior coatings are designed to work under moderate and high abrasion environmental conditions.
Finishes are directly related to the material stored, these can be only weld cleaning, weld bead removal or as specialized for the food or pharmaceutical industry with a roughness finish of Ra= 1.6µm to 0.8 µm.
As part of the quality assurance of welded joints, they are inspected by ASNT certified personnel in the following non-destructive tests:
Visual Inspection Level II (VT)
Liquid Penetrant Level II (PT)
Industrial Ultrasonic Level II (UT)
Level II X-Ray Testing (RT)
We have different sizes and capacities in the manufacture of silos, see the PDF to know them:
We develop special models, out of our standard, to cover all storage needs.
