The automatic preservation line for flat rolled products installed in the facility (PME-Group, Finland) is one of the largest lines in Europe. Its length is 75 m.

The properties of the line make it possible to apply a wide range of  preservation coats  (primers to sheets) to meet every customer’s requirements and preferences.

Shotblast enables  scale and corrosion to be removed from a metal surface and preparing the surface for the application of protective preservation primer. Metal priming allows  to protect steel from  corrosion.

Primer types:

• Hempels Shopprimer
• Muki Z

Other types of primer can be used.

Size range of processed sheets:

• thickness: 6 ÷ 40 mm (up to 60 mm on the plates with high flatness as to GOST 19903–74)
• width: up to 4,600 mm
• length: up to 18,300 mm

The preservation line consists of the following:

• charging roller table
• preheating chamber (designed for metal preheating and scale crust loosening to improve the removal of moisture remains and oil stains from the metal surface)
• shotblasting chamber (designed for metal surface cleaning up to a purity of   Sa 2.5, as required by ISO 8501−1 (ISO 12944−4). Sheets are shotblasted on both sides simultaneously)
• painting chamber (designed to apply  a primer of a required)
• drying chamber (designed for giving performance characteristics to  primer)
• run-out roller table
• thermic after burner furnace of solvent vapors
