Leering Hengelo recently supplied a blast room to a customer with several European offices, who specialises in the industrial cleaning of all sorts of products. They needed a blast room to blast products that are first put in a pyrolysis furnace to strip their coating. To minimise operational costs, a blast room with scraper floor was preferred. However, there was ...

Fire extinguishers filled with water will corrode from the inside, which leads to reduced operational safety. A coating on the inside will solve this problem. This solution requires a good 'anchor profile', however. After all, the coating should protect the inside of the fire extinguisher at all times. Our client wants to be able to guarantee the life of the ...

Several years ago, a client of Leering Hengelo started 3D printing small parts in which a titanium alloy was applied. Blasting the 3D-printed parts is required to finish these products; an existing Normfinish DI-12 with rotating cage was used for this. The increase of these 3D-printed products required a solution for simultaneously blasting significantly more parts according to a strict ...
