Is Surface Treatment Slowing You Down?
Before steel is fit to be processed, it has to be cleaned. Many fabricators struggle with:
- Manual blasting or painting processes
- Inconsistent coating quality
- Labor shortages
- Production bottlenecks
- Rising operational costs
Surface treatment should not limit your competitiveness.
The solution
Automated Blasting & Painting Systems
With over a century of experience, Kaltenbach is the leading, innovative expert for steel surface treatment, with exceptionally reliable, high-quality shot blasting and conservation equipment
With Kaltenbach’s fully automated blasting and painting systems, you achieve a highly efficient, repeatable, and cost-optimized process - applying precisely the right amount of coating exactly where it’s needed.
But automation doesn’t stop at surface treatment. Modern steel fabrication increasingly relies on integrated material handling solutions that connect sawing-drilling, plate processing, and blasting/painting lines into a continuous, streamlined workflow. By eliminating manual handling and enabling fully automated transport between multiple processing stages, you can achieve significantly higher throughput, improved accuracy, and optimized use of labor.
Designed for industrial performance:
✔ High-performance shotblasting systems
✔ Integrated automated painting lines
✔ Intelligent material handling
✔ Seamless integration into existing production
✔ Engineered for reliability and throughput
