Sand Blasted Brewery Tanks
Roben, Mfg, Inc. engineers and fabricates sand blasted brewery tanks for craft breweries and production facilities, providing surface preparation that ensures sanitary conditions and coating integrity for beer production. Our sand blasted brewery vessels feature surfaces prepared for food-grade coatings and stainless steel passivation, supporting product quality and regulatory compliance.
What Are Sand Blasted Brewery Tanks?
Sand blasted brewery tanks are fermentation vessels, bright tanks, and storage tanks that undergo abrasive blast cleaning to prepare surfaces for sanitary coatings or to restore stainless steel surfaces requiring passivation. Surface preparation supports the hygienic requirements of beer production while enabling protective treatments that extend vessel service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What blast media is safe for brewery tank preparation?
Brewery tanks require food-safe blast media including stainless steel shot, glass bead, or food-grade aluminum oxide. We avoid media that could embed contaminating particles and ensure complete removal of all blast residue before coating or passivation to maintain food safety standards.
How does sand blasting prepare stainless steel brewery tanks for passivation?
Sand blasting removes embedded iron contamination, weld discoloration, and surface impurities that interfere with passivation. Following blasting, we clean surfaces thoroughly before passivation with citric or nitric acid solutions that restore the protective chromium oxide layer.
Can existing brewery tanks be sand blasted for restoration?
Yes, we restore existing brewery tanks by removing scale, deposits, and damaged coatings. Stainless tanks are blasted with appropriate media to avoid surface contamination, then passivated. Carbon steel tanks are blasted and recoated with FDA-compliant epoxy systems.
