Shot blasting application

Pipe & tank preparation

Pipes and tanks need a shot blasting machine that can reach ID and OD — not only a flat-plate blast pattern.

What this application is

Pipe & tank preparation with a shot blasting machine

Pipe and tank preparation is specialised blasting of cylindrical work: external coating prep, internal cleaning, and ID blasting of pipes, vessels, LPG/CNG bottles and similar assets.

A standard cabinet cannot reach the inside of a long pipe. Pipe-cleaning and vessel machines, plus portable equipment for site tanks, are specified around diameter, length and whether the blast is internal, external or both.

The surface must be clean enough for wrapping, lining, paint or inspection. Residual mill scale inside a pipe becomes a coating holiday waiting to happen.

  • ID and OD coverage
  • Lining that lasts
  • Cylinder and bottle work

Why it matters

How this application is useful

A shot blasting machine earns its place on the line when this process cuts rework, hits a spec, or replaces slow manual prep.

ID and OD coverage

Purpose-built pipe and vessel machines blast surfaces a cabinet or table machine cannot see.

Lining that lasts

Internal cleanliness and profile decide whether epoxy, rubber or wrap systems stay bonded.

Cylinder and bottle work

LPG and CNG equipment handles production volumes of similar vessels.

Site tanks included

Portable machines prepare installed tanks when the vessel cannot leave the plant.

Fewer coating holidays

Residual mill scale inside a pipe is stripped before wrap or lining, not left as a future leak path.

Matches diameter and length

The machine is chosen around bore, OD and whether the blast is internal, external or both.

Recommended equipment
