Our Solutions
Blastech Plate Services has been processing steel plate for more than 35 years. Raw carbon steel plate is delivered to us by road and rail. We routinely offer blast cleaning to remove mill scale with the ultimate goal of providing an SP10 Near white metal surface. After blasting we can apply weldable primer (Redi-Plate) or clear plate preservative (CPP) to protect the plates prior to cutting, welding, and shaping. Our blasting and weldable primer application provides a clean, protected surface for fabrication of small cut parts or large tank wall sections and roofs. This saves time and money in the field with further application of coatings. The expensive process of blasting in the field is also eliminated.
We Evolve
Blastech Plate Services has become an industry leader in surface preparation and coating application by enforcing strict quality assurance measures through our internal policies and in accordance with AMPP Standards.
Much like our Mobile Alabama facility, we have a finely tuned automated conveyor line that blasts and coats steel plate to exact specifications.
We strive to build long term relationships with our customers based on accurate scheduling, in-depth quality monitoring and competitive pricing.

REDI-PLATE™
As coating professionals Blastech Plate Services developed the REDI-PLATE™ Process to ensure that every facet of the plate coating process was carried out to the highest global standards.
Benefits of REDI-PLATE™
- Process is carried out in custom built controlled industrial environment.
- Plate surface is inspected providing major defect free steel is delivered to job site.
- Provides specified profile for application of weldable primer and subsequent costs, saving cost of post-fabrication blasting.
- Improved coating system performance.
- Reduces corrosion rate prior to finishing.
- Saves the cost of weld splatter removal.
- Minimizes cost of surface preparation after fabrication.
- Potential for reduction of incoming inspection costs.
- After suitable preparation virtually type of protective coating can be directly applied.
Clear Plate Preservative (CPP)
The process follows the identical method used for REDI-PLATE™ until the plates reach the coating stage and at that time after inspection the freshly blasted steel is treated with a special oil free preservative in order to retain the surface preparation.
After treatment the plates are remarked using the Blastlogic data.
The plates are then conveyed to the unloading position via a heated tunnel.
Benefits of CPP
- The process is carried out in custom built controlled industrial environment.
- The plate surface is inspected to ensure no major steel defects are shipped.
- The processed plate can be processed as clean steel including high speed welding, laser cutting etc.
- As the processed plates are only suitable for brief periods of exterior weather exposure transportation requires that the loads are fully protected. However, they may be stored indoors for up to year.
- The plates may be coated after process with a large variety of industrial coatings including powders however confirming tests should be carried out to verify compatibility.
