Thanks to over 90 years of continuous development, Ficep has established itself as the world's largest producer of automated systems for fabricating structural steel and plate. The company's extensive range of innovative products and aggressive market penetration are made possible by the establishment of numerous subsidiaries worldwide.
To meet today’s stringent painting codes, fabricators must now incorporate shot blasting as a prerequisite before painting. In response to this need, Ficep formed a partnership with Wheelabrator over a decade ago. This collaboration has resulted in the market's most automated and comprehensive solutions for shot blasting and painting structural steel.
Wheelabrator brings significant experience in shot blasting solutions, serving the most challenging industries, including automotive, steel mills, shipyards, aviation, and steel fabrication.
One of the standout features of our shot blasting solutions is Wheelabrator's patented ETA wheel turbine. This innovative wheel offers unmatched speed and energy-saving capabilities, and the strength of manganese steel is extensively utilized throughout the blast chamber to ensure long-lasting performance.
Moreover, through the use of cross transfers and conveyors, the blasting machines can seamlessly integrate with Ficep's drilling and sawing lines, creating a fully automated system.
