The performance and durability of any paint coating are significantly affected by the surface preparation carried out. This is even more important in the case of steel structures, where the selection of the method of surface preparation is crucial in any corrosion treatment.
The practical performance of the paint coatings is significantly affected by the condition of the surface prior to painting. The main relevant factors are:
In order to prevent oxidation of steel, the item must be coated with a protective material and/or must be painted. Thus, the item can be used safely for years. Transformer tanks are going under approximately SA2.5 sanding process with the sanding cabinets, within Akabe Enerji A.Ş. also drying, airing and filtration processes which are necessary for sanding vessels are done in our company.
As known, power and distribution trasformers are the most expensive components of the energy transmission lines. These components, especially of the cooling system components, can run efficiently during the scheduled times with good maintenance. We select the best painting method and materials in accordance with the customer desires and the suggestions of our painting facility, and we produce100 % coated, anti-corrosion surfaces.
Flow painting is the most common method used in transformer tanks and allows components like corrugated walls, thermometer pockets, bushing attachment points, collars to be covered completely. Besides the inner walls of the tank can be painted as a result the surface protection application is provided in the best way.
Akabe Enerji A.Ş. presents you sanding and painting processes all together. The tanks which are painted after sanding processhave a longer life than those which have been painted with traditional methods.
Since it has been founded, Akabe Enerji A.Ş. has completed numerous projects successfully and now offering to you its experience, know-how and the understanding of ethical bussiness in manufacturing transformer tanks, wave walls and radiators. Our company makes customer oriented production in its high tech facilities. In the 3000 m2 production space and with its expert technical team, Akabe Enerji A.Ş. offers its services essentially in those areas;
A brief overview of products and services manufactured at Akabe Trafo's factory:
Steel thickness is 1.2 or 1.5mm, width is 300~1600mm, fin height is 50~400mm and distance between fins is greater than 43 mm.
Thanks to CNC based fully automatic plasma cutting machine and break press machines, tank semi production cutting and bending operations are done in our structure.
Corrugated fin wall type distribution transformer tanks up to 5 MVA and radiator type power transformer tanks up to 25 MVA.
Transformer tank leakage test which affects tank life is performed with our design test platform. We aplply penetrant chemical to and keep tanks under 0.1~0.4 bar pressure then observe for leakages.
Bushing studs, lifting lugs, thermometer pocket, oil filling cap, active part lifting part and conservator connection pipes are welded to cover the plate.
If requested, SA 2.5 shoot blasting is appliedto tanks. Depending on customer request, spray or flow painting and kiln-drying process increases the tank resistance time.
