BLAST AND PAINT STEEL PROFILES AND PLATES IN ONE CONTINUOUS AUTOMATED LINE

Voortman VSB and VP automate the complete surface treatment process for steel profiles and plates, from blast cleaning to primer application, with minimal operator input.

Manual shot blasting and painting is labour-intensive, inconsistent and creates bottlenecks between production steps. The Voortman VSB and VP automate the full surface treatment process, only blasting or painting when material is present and requiring minimal operator input. From standalone shot blasting to a fully integrated blasting and painting line, Voortman has a solution built for your production volume.

SURFACE TREATMENT MACHINES

VOORTMAN VSB

The VSB is one of the most automated shot blasting machines on the market, handling steel profiles and plates with automatic batching, brush height adjustment and turbine angle control without operator intervention. Its sequential blast pattern and triple-layer steel housing deliver consistent surface quality while keeping energy use and consumable costs low. Available for plates up to 2,500mm wide and profiles up to 1,000 x 300mm.

• Type: Automatic shot blasting machine
• Material: Steel profiles and plates
• Max plate width: 2,500mm
• Max profile dimensions: 1,000 x 300mm
• Turbines: Up to 6 x 15kW (90kW total blasting power)
• Blasting speed: Up to 2.9 m/min
• Automation: Fully autonomous, automatic batching and material detection
• Software: VACAM

VOORTMAN VP

The VP painting machine automatically detects material dimensions and adjusts the upper paint trolley to the correct height before painting, ensuring consistent coverage on every profile and plate without manual intervention. Up to three separate paint supply systems allow fast switching between different paint types and colours without stopping production. A drying tunnel is included as standard, so painted material is ready for immediate use at the end of the line.

• Type: Automatic painting machine
• Material: Steel profiles and plates
• Max plate width: 2,500mm
• Spray guns: 4 airless spray guns
• Paint types: Solvent-based and water-based
• Paint supply systems: Up to 3 simultaneous
• Automation: Fully autonomous, automatic material detection and height adjustment
• Drying tunnel: Included as standard
• Software: VACAM

FROM BLASTING TO PAINTING IN ONE FLOW

The VSB shot blaster and VP painting machine can be placed back-to-back to create a fully automated surface treatment line. Profiles and plates move directly from shot blasting into painting without repositioning or manual handling, saving time, floor space and labour. A pre-heater can be added between the two machines to remove moisture from profiles before blasting, and the excess heat is reused in the VP drying tunnel to reduce gas consumption.

PART OF A FULLY AUTOMATED PRODUCTION LINE

The VSB and VP integrate seamlessly into a Voortman MSI production line. Once profiles enter the line, VACAM automatically routes them to the right machines based on the required operations. No manual intervention, no data re-entry. The surface treatment line can be placed at the start or end of the production flow depending on your workshop layout and production goals, and the system operates autonomously with automatic infeed and outfeed.
