Surface Cleaning of Rail Vehicle Bodies and Underframes
After appropriate degreasing and drying, shot blasting effectively removes rust, mill scale, oxide layers, weld spatter and manufacturing residues from rail vehicle bodies, underframes, bogies and other steel components. This prepares the surfaces for subsequent protective coating applications.
Uniform Surface Preparation Before Painting and Coating
Shot blasting creates a controlled and uniform surface profile before powder coating, wet painting and other protective coating processes. This improves coating adhesion and helps reduce the risk of peeling, premature wear and coating failure.
Durable and Long-Lasting Rolling-Stock Components
Correct surface preparation improves the adhesion and performance of corrosion-protection coatings while helping reduce maintenance requirements. It supports a longer service life and reliable operation for rail vehicles and components exposed to demanding outdoor conditions.
Shot Blasting Machines for the Rail Industry
Shot blasting machines developed for rail applications provide high-efficiency cleaning of large underframes, bogies and heavy steel components. Automatic and semi-automatic solutions deliver consistent surface quality and higher throughput in manufacturing and refurbishment operations.
