Metal Spraying For Storage Tanks

Metallizing Equipment Co is an authorised distributor of Metallisation, UK, for Metal Spraying Equipment. The company has introduced a new system, the Metallisation ARC140/S350-CL, especially suitable for metal spraying of vessels and columns, and storage tanks for anti corrosion requirements. Metal spraying is the natural development for the protection of these vessels and tanks, as it is proven to be a very robust coating solution for protecting against corrosion under insulation (CUI) of refinery/process plant vessels and steel fabrications. The new twin wire arc spray system is a unique blend of ability and innovation. It uses a proven performer, the ARC140 pistol and drive system plus the sealed, switched voltage S350 Energiser with the addition of a closed loop current control. This enables the operator to set the spray current independent of wire type before starting the job, enabling easier set-up and protection of the system from over-current. The control function is now controlled by a simple PLC, which ensures improved reliability as less component parts are required. It also makes fault finding simple using a standard multimeter with the I/O for the PLC/The S350CL energiser features sealed electronics for excellent reliability in the harshest of spray environments. The design also allows for multiple customer-specific packaging options for the wire drive and dispense. In one option, for example, the unit is neatly mounted on the energiser, leaving it free to swivel and follow the operator when spraying. Other options include floor or trolley mounting of the wire drive unit. There is no motor in the pistol. Instead, the Arc140/S350-CL uses our patented ‘Synchrodrive’ system, where a single, sealed motor and flexible drive arrangement, powers a reliable, positive drive push/pull up to a length of 20 m. This results in a long reach and lightweight flexibility of the pistol and supplies – and more comfortable and prod
