Vard Braila SA, Romania - Blasting and Painting

Vard Braila SA implemented an automated blasting and passivation line for plates and profiles, supplied by Minex Group, with the goal of increasing productivity, reducing operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact.

Equipment and features of the line:

• Automated blasting system for metal surface preparation;
• High-performance automated painting system, designed to achieve up to 15% paint savings compared to conventional systems;
• Drying systems with warm air recirculation to reduce gas consumption.

Benefits achieved through the implemented solutions:

• Process efficiency: The automation of the blasting and passivation processes ensures uniform and consistent preparation of metal surfaces, enhancing the final product quality.
• Increased productivity: The automated line allows for a continuous production flow, significantly reducing processing times and optimizing resources.
• Energy efficiency: The reuse of warm air during the drying process decreases gas consumption, lowering operational costs and improving process sustainability.
• Reduced material consumption: The automated painting system optimizes paint application, reducing waste and ensuring efficient use of resources.
• Environmental protection: Lower energy consumption and reduced emissions from the drying and painting processes contribute to minimizing the environmental impact.

By implementing this investment, Vard Braila SA has strengthened its position as a leader in the shipbuilding industry, demonstrating a strong commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
