Damen Galati SA, Romania - Blasting and Painting
Following the successful implementation of a blasting and painting hall project in 2001 with Minex Group, Damen Galati completed a new investment project in 2017 to expand the shipyard’s capacity. The goal was to increase production capabilities, particularly for constructing highly complex vessels.
As part of this project, Minex Group designed and constructed three new halls:
- One blasting-painting-drying hall, dimensions 36 x 24 x 21 m;
- Two painting-drying halls, each with dimensions 36 x 24 x 21 m.
The halls were fully equipped and included:
- Blasting and painting systems;
- Equipment for abrasive transport, recovery, and cleaning;
- Fume extraction systems;
- TSV45000R heating aggregates with a capacity of 45,000 m³/h, Elco gas burners, and Econovent rotary heat recovery units;
- Professional vacuum units SI-4000-7/21-75;
- Electrical panels with Siemens S7-1200 controllers and HMI touch displays, Minex software for the painting hall.
The projects were exclusively tailored to the shipyard’s specific requirements, ensuring the final solutions fully met space constraints and desired dimensions and operational capacities.
Benefits of the implemented solutions:
- Process efficiency: The halls enable blasting and painting operations in a controlled environment, optimizing work times and process quality.
- Increased productivity: Modern equipment and well-organized workflows have increased production capacity while minimizing downtime.
- Energy efficiency: The heating aggregates with heat recovery systems reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
- Improved working conditions: Advanced fume extraction and ventilation systems ensure a safe and comfortable working environment for operators.
- Environmental protection: Recovery and filtration technologies minimize emissions, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Through this project, Damen Galati SA has strengthened its position as one of Europe’s leading shipbuilders, ready to meet the demands of highly complex projects.
