What is induction paint and coating removal?

Coating removal systems are state-of-the-art induction heated tools that remove paint and tough thick coatings quickly. This is a faster, cleaner and safer way to strip the coating.

What is the benefit?

Induction heating can outperform traditional paint stripping methods. Grit blasting or disc grinding is generally more labor intensive and comes with other issues such as the cost of containment or containment and collection of blasting media, and filtration or separation of coating material for disposal. These are primary considerations in many urban projects and can be costly to overcome. However, when removing coatings by induction, the only waste is the coating itself, which in most cases can be swept up or even vacuumed like any other shop waste.

Safer work environment: Controlled localized heating significantly reduces fumes and toxic dust.

Mobile: The equipment is rugged and reliable, yet light enough to be easily moved around the job site.

Reduced energy consumption: Fast, precise and repeatable heat transfer makes the coating removal process very energy efficient.

Ease of Cleanup: Coating material flakes off primarily rather than being pulverized.

Noise-free operation: Operators can work in common areas without disturbance.

Method flexibility: spot heating, scanning, freehand and semi-automatic.

No limitations: the system can be used for flat surfaces, round profiles, inside/outside corners, both sides of base plates, round rivets, etc.

Where is it used?

Induction coating removal is used in many industries such as marine/marine, pipeline, bridge, construction, tank and offshore.
