About UsStriptank Systems specialises in high quality surface treatment equipment such as Chemical Paint Stripping Tanks as well as chemicals and pre-treatment chemicals to the finishing industry. Made from either 304 or 316 Stainless Steel, our Stainless-Steel Alloy Wheel Stripping Tanks have been designed and built to the highest standard. Every element of the tank has been designed and built to last. Each tank has:
All our tanks are retro fitted so if you want the pump/filtration system it simply connects to the back of the tank. Pumps are dependant on the chemical that will be used as well as the temperature. Our Wash Sinks are stainless steel and built to match the size tank, to allow the basket to fit inside it for the spraying/cleaning process. Accessory baskets are available too for stripping of other parts besides alloy rims |  |
| Heated Tanks The tanks are heated between 40-90 c and some require agitation/reticulation, often a longer process than cold strip the benefit of using products such as Alcohol Benzyl is that once the coating is removed, the process stops The action of pumping the heated solution through the tank ensures that the optimum removal rate of surface Coatings is achieved. By using these chemicals in the hot tank, the elevated temperatures increase the stripping action by stripping paint as well as removing grease, oil, rust, and dirt. The parts requiring stripping are immersed into the solution and then agitated to speed up the stripping process. In conjunction with optional equipment such as filtration systems and pumps the chemical solution may be recycled and used again With agitation/reticulation, the mechanical force of the moving solution keeps washing newly formed emulsions and soaps away from surfaces while applying fresh chemical stripping agents to the newly exposed layers of paint, thereby speeding the entire action. | Cold Tanks Our tanks are all fitted with heating elements and simply power the heating off when cold stripping is required. Methylene Chloride is extremely aggressive and can remove most surface coatings but can also attack the base substrate. Due to the acidic nature of Methylene Chloride, it can attack the surface of the substrate being stripped, further to this there is a higher health and safety risk to the operator and protective clothing is essential when handling, care needs to be taken in confined areas and extraction is essential. Use Mechanical lifting devices to lift items such as hoists, this allows the operator to distance himself from vapours and any splashes that may occur. Wear an airline respirator as the vapour levels of methylene chloride is very high and can lead to medical issues. |
