Take a look at the “cutting-edge technology” on this device: 84 – The rust-removal robot
Thread Content
The major maintenance campaign has begun. One of the key tasks at the storage and transportation facility is to remove rust from the storage tanks. Over time, due to the effects of the natural environment and the substances stored in them, metal storage tanks tend to rust, corrode, and age, which limits their service life. When corrosion becomes more severe, it can cause cracks in the tank, posing serious safety risks when storing media under high temperature and pressure. To ensure the safe use of large storage tanks, it is necessary to carry out regular rust removal and repainting on them. The current methods of rust removal are all inevitably labor-intensive, inefficient, and fail to achieve thorough cleaning; they also generate large amounts of dust, causing environmental pollution and posing a risk to the health of the operators. Today, I recommend a new solution—a rust-removal robot. For more shares, please check the “Explore the ‘Advanced Technologies’ on Devices” series: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3056492-1-1.html
Magnetic adsorption wall-climbing robots feature a high degree of automation and great flexibility; their wall-adhesion mechanism stays in close contact with the working surface, eliminating the need for manual work at heights. Utilizing the unique impact kinetic energy of ultra-high pressure water jets, it effectively cleans dirt and deposits from object surfaces without causing corrosion or wear ； During the rust removal process, wastewater and waste residues are recovered simultaneously; the surface becomes dry immediately after removal without rust reformation, there is no pollution, the efficiency is high, and the rust removal level can reach Sa2.5. During the rust removal process, there is no dust produced, and almost no water is visible. All wastewater and rust debris are collected and sent to on-site treatment equipment; the rust debris is automatically bagged, while the wastewater is filtered before being discharged once it meets the required standards. This represents a green and environmentally friendly solution.
Case: Sinopec Yangzhou Branch – The Yangzhou Branch used intelligent rust-removal robots for the first time in the tank area of its aromatic compounds plant to carry out rust removal and painting tasks on tank walls, thereby improving work efficiency and ensuring quality.
