Preventing Powder Build-Up in Long Stainless Steel Piping｜Premium Fine Peening (PFP)
kanmetaAt a petrochemical plant, our PFP treatment effectively prevented powder build-up and blockages inside long stainless steel (SUS) pipes.
Customer’s Challenge.
The customer was struggling with powder sticking inside long pipes, which was hard to remove with traditional buff polishing. This build-up caused frequent production slowdowns, and cleaning required disassembling the pipes. When that didn't work, they had to hit the pipes with a hammer to remove the powder, often leading to deformation or damage. The situation seemed hopeless, with pipe replacements being the only solution.
Kanmeta Engineering's Solution
Our PFP treatment was the answer, offering key benefits:
Specialized Tools: We developed a unique jig to treat the pipe interior with precision.
Cost-Effective: Our removable design allowed for efficient, factory-based treatment.
Proven Results: Free pre-tests with customer's sample powder confirmed effectiveness, ensuring smooth internal approval.
Innovative Design: The textured surface reduced powder contact, minimizing build-up.
