Metallisation HaloJet

The HaloJet™ Thermal Spray System by Metallisation
Metallisation’s HaloJet™ system is a fully integrated solution engineered for advanced thermal spray coating applications. Central to the system is the NanoGun—a compact, high-precision spray gun specifically designed for both internal diameter (ID) and external surface treatments.

Connected via the Lance, the NanoGun works in harmony with the RotaryJet, which delivers precise rotational motion for consistent, even coating distribution. This seamless mechanical integration enables optimal coverage on complex geometries.

The system’s modular architecture incorporates critical control elements, including a dedicated fuel management unit and an Electrical Control Panel that governs power distribution and operational regulation. An intuitive touchscreen HMI (Human-Machine Interface) allows operators to monitor and adjust spray parameters in real-time for improved process control.

A key component of the setup is the Powder Feeder, which ensures accurate, continuous delivery of coating materials into the spray stream. This results in uniform powder flow and high-quality, repeatable coating finishes.

Designed for performance, flexibility, and safety, the HaloJet™ system supports industry standards for environmental compliance and offers scalable options for a range of industrial coating needs.

TSA on SLP offshore oil platform

A video showing Flame Spray TSA used on an offshore platform

Metallisation MK73 flame spray systems being used to apply thermal spray aluminium (TSA) to an offshore oil platform for corrosion prevention. The platform is destined for the North Sea. Long supplies packages (30m) were used to enable sprayers to move easily around the structure and increase productivity.

Flame spray TSA onto offshore oil platform with metallisation MK73 systems, the area of TSA was approximately 1,000 sqm to 250-400 microns.

The system allowed 30m of supplied from gas the flexibility to spray areas of 27m of long main column tubulars.

Aluminium coating specification

Blast to SA3, 70-100 Micron profile.
Thermal Spray Zn or Al to 100 Microns minimum Dft.
Epoxy Sealer, maximum 25 Microns Dft.
Primer and top coat to suit the final installation.

TSA (Thermal Sprayed Aluminium) for CUI

The video shows the preparation and application of Thermal Spray Aluminium (TSA) to protect pipelines and vessels against atmospheric corrosion and Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).
This clip illustrates the complete process of applying Thermal Sprayed Aluminium to deliver effective corrosion protection or an (estimated) 20+ years.

After the Thermal Spray Aluminium has been applied, the blast profile is measured and saved to be used in an audit at a later date. Next, the site is inspected with a 10X illuminated magnifying glass to check if the blast surface is clean and to identify any embedded grit particles. After this, the area is tested using dust contamination tape by placing the tape onto the surface, removing and then inspecting with a 10X magnifier.

A salt contamination test is then carried out to inspect the presence of salt on the blasted area. This is achieved through the application of an agitate test solution, then using the test pipette to ascertain the level of salt.

Afterwards, check the bond strength and thickness meets specification.

TSA is applied by the flame spray process using a Metallisation MK73 system with long supplies package to assist in accessing hard to reach areas.

PLASMA Turnkey Blast and Spray Installation at Anilox Laser Technology Ltd.

This video gives an overview of a turnkey blast and plasma spray installation, installed at Anilox Laser Technology Ltd in Manchester, UK.

The customers requirement was for a facility for the spraying of chrome oxide coatings onto Anilox rolls. The rolls vary significantly in length and diameter, the requirements met in this facility was for 100 mm to 3500 mm in length, and 40 mm – 450 mm in overall diameter. Metallisation Ltd supplied a Met-Cell blast enclosure, Met-Cell thermal spray room, MET-PCC(PLAS) system, appropriate chiller for process cooling and a Metallisation dust extraction unit.

Parkol Marine spray zinc onto fishing boat with ARC150

Parkol Marine Engineering, based in Whitby, has recently applied a thermal sprayed zinc coating using a Metallisation ARC150 arc spray system to a new whitefish trawler, the Resilient LK195, to protect it from corrosion.

MK74-PC Powder flame

Metallisation METJET-4L HVOF

This video introduces the Metallisation METJET-4L HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) system for spraying dense metallic coatings. The coatings produced include hard chrome replacement NiCr coatings or even harder WC (Tungsten Carbide) coatings. Other materials can also be applied. The system is very easy to operate with touch screen controls. The METJET-4L system has a liquid fuel pistol and other liquid fuel pistols can also be controlled by the operation console. A variation of this system (the HVOF Pistol Control Console – PCC) can also control gas fuelled pistols.

Met-Clad Laser Cladding

Metallisation MET CLAD Laser Cladding System

The video gives a brief introduction to the laser cladding process, shows a selection of laser clad applications.

The video also shows how easy it is to operate and control the laser cladding process with the Metallisation MET CLAD laser cladding control system. The Metallisation MET-CLAD laser cladding system takes control of all of the laser cladding process and simplifies it via a reliable and repeatable touch-screen control system.
