The following pages show various equipment Anticorrosion Technologies can supply.
Pipe Coating Equipment
Automated Pipe Racking, Loading and Conveyance Systems
This System is designed to isolate and index the pipe along the inbound pipe racks feeding the inbound conveyance system. This system will work in conjunction with the let in assemblies and will consist of the following: Pneumatically controlled isolation feed lifters. Variable speed electrically driven chain rollers. Operators control interface This system greatly reduces the amount of required personnel and eliminates the requirement of personnel touching moving pipe.
HYDRAULICALLY ADJUSTABLE DOWN BLAST MACHINE
This Blast Machine was designed to remove mill scale, rust, etc., and apply an anchor pattern to the external surface of steel pipe. The hydraulic lift system allows for adjustment of the blast wheel distance. This allows for finite adjustment of the blast wheel pattern, and permits adjustment for varying diameters. The design of this machine is such that it does not require a pit. The Blast Machine is used to blast clean the pipe to the customer’s specification. This machine has blast wheels that centrifugally throws steel shot or grit at a velocity which cleans the rust, dust, and foreign particles from the surface of the pipe and leaves an anchor pattern on the surface for better bonding of the materials to be applied at a later stage. After bombarding the pipe with the abrasive media, all particles are carried back to the top of the machine by an elevator where the material is deposited into an auger assembly that carries the material to a rotary screen that classifies the material, ejecting all foreign particles into the trash shoot and screens the abrasive to the hopper. The abrasive material is spread across the total length of the rotary screen assembly and is gleaned via air wash. The dust collector then separates all rust, dust, and worn out abrasive. The clean abrasive is then deposited into the reservoir for re-circulation to the blast wheel.
Acid Wash
The Acid Wash operation is used in the Fusion Bond Epoxy Application to remove chlorides and other contaminants from the outer surface of the pipe before being heated and coated. All acid residue is collected and neutralized prior to disposal. *Acid is applied through metered pumps and washed off with high-pressure de-ionized water prior to entering the heating furnaces.
Acid Wash Spray Down
CLEANING AND COATING CONVEYORS
Helical Pipe Conveyor
True Helix Pipe Conveyor
Anticorrosion Technologies' Helical Conveyor System uses variable speed electrical controls to adjust pipe flow speeds through the coating and cleaning process. The operator’s panel provides for pipe speed control for individual conveyor systems (in/out bound, cleaning, coating), and a master control to proportionally adjust conveyor speed of the entire conveyor systems. (For separate cleaning and coating line systems, a master control to adjust pipe speed proportionally is mounted on the individual operator’s panel for each line system). Anticorrosion Technologies custom designs endow or skewed conveyors to specifications for fusion bond epoxy, coal tar coat and wrap, and other coating processes. The conveyors shown consists of a square tubing frame, pneumatics; turning rollers, drive motors, and angle actuator bars. Conveyors use a lead-forward propulsions action. The structural steel frame is designed for bolt interconnection of each section. Turning roller sets are two offset pneumatic tires (also available in solid urethane and rubber) on set centers with selected wheel assemblies electrically driven. Anticorrosion Technologies' conveyor systems provide efficient adjustment of turning rolls to control proper angle, lead per diameter of pipe. An electrically actuated angle adjustment bar adjusts angle and roller height along entire conveyor system in one smooth operation. Conveyor systems are manufactured for pipe diameters from 2” to 156”.
Fluid Beds
Anticorrosion Technologies' Fluid Beds are specifically designed to fluidize Fusion Bond Epoxy Powder. The Fluid Bed will be a porous polyethylene (fluidizing grade) design. All resin entering the bed will pass through a serious of bar magnets, the purpose of these magnets is to catch any metal particles, which due to size, may have passed through the screen separator.
Powder Loading Hopper
This unit was specifically designed to receive powder manually from super sacks for the Fusion Bond Epoxy process. Powder resin is dumped from the super sacks into the primary powder storage hopper and then conveyed from the powder bin to a virgin storage hopper with a pneumatic conveyance system.
FUSION BOND EPOXY APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Anticorrosion Technologies offers a full line of Fusion Bond Epoxy Application Equipment including vacuum loading systems, powder shrouds, dust collectors, fire suppression equipment, shaker separators, NORDSON electrostatic spray systems, furnaces, air dryers, cooling towers, and acid wash systems. Any and all of this equipment can be engineered to various specifications. This equipment as a whole is designed to be the most efficient and cost effective in the industry.
WATER QUENCH SYSTEMS
The Water Quench System is intended for the Water Quench or cooling of the pipe and coating during a Fusion Bond Epoxy or Three Layer Application of coating steel pipe. These systems typically include the following: •Pumps •Filtration •Cooling Towers •Piping •Shroud & Nozzles •304 SS Construction The conveyors in the quench area are coated with special coatings as well as recovery quench pans.
LET-IN & KICK-OUT ASSEMBLIES
Anticorrosion Technologies builds air or hydraulically operated Let-In and Kick-Out Assemblies, mounted on the frame of both the cleaning and coating conveyors. The cylinders are sized for optimum handling of various sizes and weights of pipe the conveyor system is designed to handle. The let-in operation is designed to keep pipe out of the conveyor until actuated at the operator’s stations. The system arms are designed to hold pipe on the rail system in check until the joint on the conveyor clears the let-in area. This provides for control of the number of joints on the conveyor system at one time. Anticorrosion Technologies also builds power feed systems for automatic let-in operations.
OPERATOR’S CONTROL STATION
This is Anticorrosion Technologies' standard Operator’s Control Station. This Control Station can be designed to run virtually any equipment that Anticorrosion Technologies manufactures. The control console will supply the power and operation to starters, inverters, and motors. All of Anticorrosion Technologies' Control Consoles are equipped with an emergency shut down switch.
HEATED TAPE MATERIAL SPOOL OFF SYSTEM
The Tape Material Spool off System eliminates heated storage of tape, improves bonding, improves pliability and irons out the wrinkles. The system offers uniform heating of the tape with its electrically controlled heating element. The output temperature is checked and adjusted electrically with its thermostat controls mounted inside the roller drum. The system includes a quick changeover process for “latch on the fly” continuous operation. The flip over system loads material with rotating arms eliminating material lifting. The tension system is operated by engaging a controlled hydraulic system provided and mounted to the main drive drum. This tension system provides tape tension adjustment from 0 to 3,000 pounds
COAL TAR AND WRAP STANDS
The Coal Tar and Wrap Stands are 36” long, 24” wide, and 30” high, being skid mounted with angle adjustments. Stands handle material 4” through 18” in width. Includes a quick changeover process for latch on the fly continuous operations and adjusts for wrapping over or under pipe. Uses a pneumatic type material core catch control system and requires only a compressed air supply.
COAT AND WRAP MACHINE
The Coat and Wrap Machine includes and enamel reservoir, manifold assembly, enamel transfer system, weir system, deflector assembly, smoke house, control station, and quench system. Hot enamel is transferred from the heat tank to an enamel reservoir by a 2” hot material hose and enamel pump. It is then transferred from the enamel reservoir to pipe surface by the manifold assembly and enamel pump. As the pipe is conveyed in a spiral motion though the smoke house, wrapping materials are applied at the same time to pipe surface from the material spool off stands. Material thickness is controlled by tension of wrapping materials, conveyor speed and temperature of the hot enamel. The hot enamel pump assembly consists of two pre-heated hot material pumps, skid mounted with a control stand. The pump assembly transfers material from the heat tank to the enamel reservoir, then to the manifold system. It is powered by variable speed electric motors coupled to the pump shafts with chain couplings. The quench system is equipped with a 5 GPM circulating pump and spray head. The reservoir pan has an approximate capacity of 50 gallons. The primary function is to cool the coating, as the heated pipe exists the coating machine to avoid tracking or damage to the coating.
HIGH PRESSURE WATER SCRUBBERS FOR SMOKE CONTROL
The Scrubber System eliminates the smoke from the coating application area and deposits it through this system. The Scrubber System consists of a water reservoir, fog nozzles, water pump with impeller; powered by an electric motor, and tube axle fan also powered by an electric motor. The smoke is cleaned of contaminants as it passes through the fog baffles, where a mist of water falls through the smoke and pull all heavies from the smoke and deposits them into the water reservoir while emitting the cleaned smoke through duct work to the outside of the facility into the air. The total capacity of this unit is 14,430 CFM controlled by air baffles in the scrubber

The Hydraulic Power Units are self-contained and skid mounted for ease of placement. Each unit includes a hydraulic fluid reservoir and filters to insure a contaminant free system. Hydraulic pumps are of variable displacement and driven by electric motors and directional control valves. Horsepower is sized to the demands of operations to be powered. Power sets control actions along cleaning and coating conveyor lines.
IN LINE PIPE PRE-HEATER / PIPE HEATING COILS (INDUCTION)
IN LINE PRE-HEATER / HEATING FURNACES (GAS)
Our Furnaces are designed to heat pipe in the ranges of 2” through 60” pipe. The furnace is constructed to be installed with only gas and electricity ran to the unit. The heaters are pre-piped and pre-wired. The heater is skid mounted to aid in its placement. The burners are a special design to provide maximum heating efficiency. Each burner has individual controls so that one burner outage does not shut the system down. The control system includes a temperature controller, a high limit, starter, and disconnect.
INTERNAL BLAST & PAINT EQUIPMENT
This equipment is intended for application of various liquid products, based on specifications supplied by the customer. The pipe is placed on racks and staged for introduction into the stations. Pipes are individually rolled to the indexing station where the pipes will be manually rolled to the proper placement so that the pipes will all be at the exact same alignment on the lance entrance side. The rotation lift mechanism is then activated. The rotation station lifts under the pipe, raising the pipe above the pipe rack, allowing the rotation of the pipe. The blast cart drive system is activated which moves the lances into the pipe. The blast pot mounted on the blast cart is activated, releasing abrasive through the lance and into the pipe. The pipe is blast on the inter-section stroke. All abrasive is captured in the blast media catch cabinet, which is mounted on tracks and activated to drive forward to capture the ends of the pipe before blasting commences. The abrasive falls to the bottom of a catch cabinet where it will be augured continuously to an elevator and rotary screen where the abrasive is gleaned and continuously dumped onto a return conveyor, which carries the abrasive to the abrasive holding bin. The holding bin will be supplied with a control valve for re-loading the blast pot. After blasting the rotation station is lowered and the pipes are rolled down to the paint station where individual pipes are rolled into place. The paint lance is activated, moving into the pipe. The lance blows down the inside of the pipe upon the inter-section stroke and paints via an air driven spin head upon retraction. Negative pressure is pulled through the pipe via a spray booth. The spray booth is supplied with replaceable media to catch over spray. This booth is ducted outside for evacuation of fumes.
PORTABLE LATHE SYSTEM
This system was designed for liquid epoxy application. The liquid spray equipment can be mounted on the traversing cart. The pipe is rotated in place. The cart is then driven passed the rotating pipe.
ROTATION LATHE
This 156” Diameter Rotation Lathe was designed to capture pipe from the inside, avoiding any egging (warping). The Rotation Lathe will rotate and travel lineally along a rail system. Utilizing a vector style, variable speed AC electric drive system this allows the Lathe to synchronize the rotation and lineal travel. This pipe conveyance system was utilized to blast clean as well as apply the anti-corrosive coatings.
Wind Tower/Monopile Systems
Dual Two Axis Blaster
Internal and External Automated Wheel Blast System
INTERNAL: The blast boom assembly is hard mounted to the floor, supporting the gleaning and recovery equipment. Each tower section is rotated while driven in and out with the customer-supplied Rotation carts, Rings and Drive system. Steel abrasive is loaded into the main hopper by dumping the abrasive into the bottom of the bucket elevator. The bucket elevator carries the abrasive into the auger and rotary screen, which moves the abrasive laterally through the rotary screen, filtering the abrasive through the rotary drum and removing any material larger than 1/4" in diameter from the abrasive stream and discharging it out the dump hose. The dump hose is an 8" metal flex hose that discharges into a 55 gallon waste drum located on the ground. All remaining abrasive flows through the screen and is collected in the preliminary holding hopper. The abrasive is then gravity fed over a 40" wide lip, forming a curtain of abrasive 1/4" thick. As the abrasive flows downward, air is pulled through the abrasive curtain, pulling out any rust, dust, or fine abrasive particles that remain in the abrasive stream. Light dust is pulled to a 12,000 SCFM dust collector. All other material is discharged down a 2" metal flex hose and dumped into a second 55 gallon drum located on the ground. The remaining screened abrasive continues to fall and is collected in the secondary holding hopper located directly under the rotary screen assembly.The gleaned abrasive flows through a shot gate at a metered rate onto a feed belt located on the upper portion of the blast boom. This belt is variable in speed to control the abrasive quantity conveyed to the blast wheel. The airless centrifugal blast wheel throws the abrasive at an accelerated rate onto the inside wall of the wind tower section. Approximately 40% of the abrasive thrown will rebound back to a series of wings located on the end of the blast boom. These wings capture and feed the abrasive onto the return belt located on the bottom of the blast boom. This belt moves the abrasive along the length of the boom and dumps it back into the abrasive elevator, completing the abrasive cycle. The remaining 60% of the abrasive falls to the bottom of the tower section where a vacuum hose pulls the abrasive off the bottom of the tower section and through a cyclone separation system, located beside the elevator.
EXTERNAL: The internal and external diameters of each tower section will be cleaned simultaneously. While each tower section is rotated and driven over the blast boom, the tower section rotates past the external blast system. The external blast system is mounted on a moving platform that rolls forward to make contact with the outer surface of the tower section. Steel abrasive is loaded into the main hopper by dumping the abrasive into the bottom of the bucket elevator. The bucket elevator carries the abrasive into the auger and rotary screen, which moves the abrasive laterally thru the rotary screen, filtering the abrasive through the rotary drum and removing any material larger than 1/4" in diameter from the abrasive stream and discharging it out the dump hose. The dump hose is an 8" metal flex hose that discharges into a 55 gallon waste drum located on the ground. All remaining abrasive flows through the screen and is collected in the preliminary holding hopper. The abrasive is then gravity fed over a 40" wide lip, forming a curtain of abrasive 1/4" thick. As the abrasive flows downward, air is pulled through the abrasive curtain, removing any rust, dust, or fine abrasive particles that remain in the abrasive stream. Light dust is pulled to an 8,000 SCFM dust collector. All other material is discharged down a 2" metal flex hose and dumped into a second 55 gallon drum located on the ground. The remaining screened abrasive continues to fall and is collected in the secondary holding hopper located directly under the rotary screen assembly. The gleaned abrasive flows through a shot gate at a metered rate into the feed auger located on the upper portion of the blast cart. The auger feeds the abrasive directly into an airless centrifugal blast wheel that throws it at an accelerated rate onto the outside wall of the wind tower section. The abrasive is captured inside the blast cabinet and returned to the bottom of the elevator, completing the abrasive cycle.
