  • SCHILDERSBEDRIJF HOUTEPEN

    Painter company Houtepen is responsible for maintaining the metal preservation at the Dow industry in Terneuzen. Painting company Houtepen has its own blast cabinet on the Dow. Yet there is also a lot of mobile blasting. It is important here that the blasting unit is light, compact, but also able to remove thick layers of rust.

    The IBIX® 9 blasting machine is excellent in this regard. Thanks to the carrying strap, blasting at great heights with the help of lightweight compressed air hose is possible. Thanks to the lightweight jet gun and blast hose, the IBIX® blasting machine does not overload the operator, even in hard-to-reach places.

  • HEEREMA ZWIJNDRECHT

    Heerema in Zwijndrecht makes the largest drilling rigs in the world. In the enormous warehouse in Zwijndrecht, these drilling rigs are constructed from blasted components and welded. When welding, the welds and welds must be blasted clean before the derrick can be sprayed.

    Heerema uses the IBIX® 9 blasting machine for this. This can easily be carried between the scaffolding, is quick to use and achieves the mandatory roughness. Thanks to the abrasive GMA® Garnet, dust formation is minimal. Because the material supply can be adjusted very precisely, no grain is used too much.

  • ZEEHAVENBEDRIJF DORDRECHT

    The Dordrecht seaport company uses the IBIX® 25 blasting machine for maintenance on cranes and other transhipment equipment.

  • GSB OCHTEN

    GSB in Ochten accepts large and medium-sized blasting and preservation jobs all over the Netherlands. This varies from various bridges, but also mega projects such as the Oosterscheldekering. The large blasting installations that GSB works with are ideal for blasting very large surfaces. For smaller and hard-to-reach applications, GSB has several IBIX® 25P Units in use. This enables them to perform professional blasting work quickly and adequately at any location.
