Rusting on ships is inevitable. Rust is caused by corrosion of metal due to contact with moisture and seawater, which is typical in marine environments. The process is complex and involves the oxidation of metals in the presence of oxygen and moisture, resulting in the formation of metal oxides, i.e. rust. Rust is not only unsightly, it also weakens the structural integrity of the ship and poses a serious threat to safety and efficiency. That’s why it’s worth investing in the right tools and equipment to remove rust.
Our rust removal tools are available in both electric and pneumatic types to maximize the use of different environments and can be used to remove rust layers from metal surfaces on board. They work by mechanically separating rust from the metal surface. Rust removal tools are equipped with a specially designed tip or head, usually coated with a hard material such as stainless steel or carbide. This head is struck or pressed against the rusted metal surface and then extracted at a very fast speed, all thanks to compressed air or smoothly running electric current. This process enables the tool to separate and remove rust layers from the metal surface, and can even handle thick rust layers.
Regular rust removal, especially in underwater hull areas, helps maintain the structural durability of the ship, prevents further corrosion, and extends its service life. It also helps improve the aesthetics of your vessel. Therefore, we encourage you to invest in a rust removal tool!
Our company supplies various types of air and power tools that are necessary to maintain efficiency and reliability at sea. These tools come from our production shop, which is known for its exceptional quality and durability. Each tool is carefully crafted to provide a product that meets the standards.
