Tong Engineering has invested in new powder-coating and shot-blasting systems at its new manufacturing plant in Spilsby, England. The new shot-blasting unit uses a powerful technique to clean the surface of metal and create a quality finish to allow for optimum adhesion of paint. The steel preparation process is the first stage of a three-part paint system at Tong, in which metal is first shot blasted, followed by the application of a durable rust-inhibiting primer and then finished with a premium quality topcoat, before it is cured at high temperatures.
The new equipment is designed to increase efficiency in the manufacturing plant and improve paint durability and finish of Tong equipment, according to the company.
