Clean blasting: The future of surface preparation
Pinovo supplies innovative and patented technology for dust-free abrasive vacuum blasting of industrial and marine surfaces, which delivers

By performing continuous maintenance, including with rope access techniques, Pinovo offers a cost-effective alternative to the traditional way of maintaining steel structures. Our ATEX-certified closed loop grit “clean” blasting technology, helps our customers to save money, improve HSE and protect the environment and Ocean, without compromising on surface quality.

Paint protects steel structures from corrosion. When performing maintenance on these structures, old paint and rust is removed, and new paint is applied. With the use of traditional methods for maintenance, the removed paint is normally emitted to the oceans. Paint is plastic. The removed, tiny paint particles are microplastics.

ROBOTICS
Pinovo partnered with the Norwegian robotics solutions provider, Remotion AS back in 2017. Remotion has developed a range of different robotic systems for both the offshore and onshore industry, that can be customized to a wide variety of applications, including fabric maintenance or surface treatment. Robotic Surface Treatment Solutions marry productivity, operator safety and sustainability advantages for customers.
Remotion chose Pinovo’s Clean Blasting Technology as a key part of its “RoboCoat” solution that cleans, blasts and then re-paints steel surfaces above the water line. Pinovo’s PiWalk tool and PiSys Flex equipment provides the clean abrasive blasting technology that delivers a combination of a top quality surface finish, and zero emissions of paint microplastics into the Ocean. Both Pinovo and Remotion continue to innovate to enhance our solutions - with new, higher productivity PiWalk tools from Pinovo, and new, smaller robots like the Proteus Safe from Remotion.

Pinovo's impact
Pinovo supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With our technology, we are contributing to meet these goals:
14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution 12.4 By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment. |
