Insights at FRANZ KAMINSKI WAGGONBAU – Part 3: Blasting Hall

Where the old disappears – and the new becomes visible.

The blasting hall is far more than just a preparatory step.
It lays the foundation for precise maintenance, reliable testing – and the optimal further processing of components.

With trained eyes, state-of-the-art technology and the right blasting media, we create what every component deserves: a clean new beginning.

  • Powerful & versatile: Our blasting facility is designed for large components such as bogies, wheelsets or frame elements – using variable blasting techniques to achieve the highest surface quality.
  • Glass bead blasting – for fine precision: With gentle blasting pressure, we prepare components with sensitive geometries – for a uniform, metallic-clean surface with minimal roughness.
  • Technically precise, safe in execution: Modern filtration and extraction systems ensure low-dust conditions – for consistently high quality and maximum occupational safety. Pickling & passivation – the final protection: Chemical surface treatments ensure corrosion resistance and long-term functionality – especially for stainless steel and specialized components.
  • Perfectly prepared for the next step: Blasting, cleaning and chemical treatment provide the ideal basis for measurement, repair, coating and painting.

What makes this area special?

It combines force with control – ensuring the quality of maintenance before any repairs even begin.

Part 3 of our Insights series shows what happens when expertise, technology and material knowledge come together – precise, considered and indispensable.
