The maintenance of ships and marine vessels requires the frequent removal of specialized coatings from various steel surfaces. Traditional methods often involve grit or high-pressure water, which create significant waste and can disrupt other vital operations during dry-docking. For this sector, finding a solution that allows for simultaneous maintenance and inspection work is essential for operational efficiency.
Standard coating removal on vessels often leads to extended docking times due to the scale of containment and waste disposal required. Conventional abrasive blasting generates dust and noise, posing risks to nearby workers and the surrounding marine environment. Furthermore, the need for heavy protective gear and the risk of air and water contamination make traditional stripping a logistically complex and costly process.
RPR Technologies utilizes a patented induction system that transfers energy directly to the steel substrate, inducing controlled heating to break the coating’s bond. This allows coatings to be removed easily in strips or pieces without creating airborne dust or using water and grit. The system is so clean and quiet that work can even be performed at sea, ensuring zero disruption to normal ship operations or concurrent maintenance tasks.
