Surface preparation is the primary stage of corrosion prevention and therefore, proper execution is essential to prepare for a new layer of coating to adhere to your steel surface.

Steel surface cleanliness and roughness highly affect the quality and performance of the newly applied coating. To optimize the result of coating adhesion, the steel surface has to be free of dirt, grease, and dust.

VertiDrive produces magnetic robot crawlers with applications for the two primary methods of surface preparation: hydro blasting (open or closed system) and abrasive blasting.

Alternative methods like dry ice blasting, laser, shot blasting can be integrated upon request.

Which application to use depends on the condition and specification of the steel surface. Tell us about your current surface preparation methods. After that, our experts can advise you on the most suitable solution for your project’s needs.
