– The RPR Induction System enables fast and efficient removal of coatings from large storage tank surfaces and facilitates weld seam inspection and bulk coating removal. Experience from tank applications shows that thick glass-fiber coatings (5–6 mm) can be removed at stripping rates of , supporting rapid inspection and remediation. In addition to high stripping efficiency, the process delivers strong economic benefits through minimal waste generation and a safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly working environment for operators.
HIGHER REMOVAL RATES
Engineered with various induction heads for challenging geometry steel sections, rivets encountered on many Steel bridge structures
MINIMISED WASTE DISPOSAL
No grit or water media added, eliminating the need for transport and disposal.
SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS (SIMOPS)
75% less energy consumption with zero grit or water deposits left behind.
ENVIRONMENT
Safe, quiet, and low-dust operation with minimal protective gear required.
OPERATOR FRIENDLY
Low-noise, low-dust process lets other trades work safely in parallel, reducing asset outage time.
Resulting from a project called Green Tank, co-funded by the European Commission; RPR Technologies now offers optimized solutions for coatings removal in storage tanks. Combining a patented induction technology and elements of semi-automatic platforms, the RPR Induction Coatings Removal System has proven to be twice as efficient as other methods.
Mounted to an electric trolley with vertical support, the system is ideal for removal of difficult coatings on tank floors and the lower wall section, securing a consistent result and alleviating workload for the operators. After heating the coating is scraped off in stripes that is easily collected and transported for disposal, offering considerable environmental savings in logistics and waste handling.
