The prepared surface can then accept the UPS Range of;
-
Metal Repair
-
Ceramic Linings
-
Elastomer (Rubber) Repairs
-
Emergency & Composite Pipe Repair Systems and much more...
These machines are much faster, offer more flexibility, deliver far better results and are more user-friendly compared to scaling hammers, flexible shaft scalars etc. With proper use can create a near ‘Girt Blasted’ profile.
​
The UPS MiniBlaster is ideal for spot scaling (horizontal and vertical), along welds, around flanges and have proven to be very efficient for ballast tank maintenance, also ideal for creating a feathered edge on overlap areas of paint. Designed to achieve a profile surface of approximately 50 microns (2mils) with a surface cleanliness of ST 3+++.
​
It can be used on steel, non-ferrous metals, plastic, epoxy coatings and even rubber to create an anchor profile at a speed of approximately 100cm2 per minute. These units require very little maintenance, the Steel Belts being the main consumable part when the steel is fully worn simply replace it with a new one without the need to repair it – simple and cost effective.
Typical Surface Preparation Applications Include;
-
Pipe surface preparation prior to Emergency & Composite Pipe Repair
-
Rubber Belt repairs prior to Elastomer repairs / Conveyor belts Metallic surfaces prior to the application of UPS Metal Repair Plate bonding surface preparation
-
Ballast tank surface preparation
Features & Benefits to the User Include;
-
Handy size scaling machine for small horizontal and vertical areas Perfect for damage sensitive areas; For Example Paint removal from bolt threads on flanges
-
High-quality construction and ergonomic designed
-
Able to obtain ST3+++ (SSPC-SP11 +++) without damaging the steel! With proper use can obtain near ‘Grit Blasted’ profiles.
-
Has a selection of consumables available for different surfaces & jobs Delivered ready for use
