Shot Blasting Steel Frames Before Painting

At Beacon Industries, surface preparation is an important step in the manufacturing of lifting equipment.

After welding, steel frames undergo shot blasting to remove rust and surface oxidation. The abrasive steel shot cleans the metal surface, preparing it for the next production stage: painting.

Proper surface preparation provides a suitable foundation for the coating process. Together with the right coating materials and application procedures, it helps protect steel structures against corrosion. Learn more about our earlier manufacturing step in our article on Guide Rail Lift Frame Fabrication: Welding Quality and Straightness.

This video captures the real production process in our factory, showing how welded steel frames are prepared before painting.

At Beacon Industries, we focus on the details behind every finished product, from steel fabrication and surface treatment to assembly and testing.
