Detection of liquid gas
2 Gamma radiation sources which detect up to 400 gr gas left in the cylinders.
Drain and gas recovery
Emptying bottles and recovering the gas-in the gas phase or liquid.The recovered gas is stored and re-used. No atmospheric emissions!
Valve removing
All valves removed are stored and inspected later according EN14912 standard or as per customer specs
Internal Washing
Every cylinder is internaly washed in automatic carousel
Refurbishment Washing & Visual Inspection

Then cylinders are visually inspected and separated either for repairing or scraping, or conform ones, send to the finishing hall.Inspection is realized by qualified and trained personnel.
Separated Damaged Cylinder
Refurbishment Washing & Visual Inspection
Straighten of Foot-Ring and/or Collar
Changing of Foot-ring or Valve Guard
Blowing
Damaged cylinders are de-dented by means of pressured air and heating of dent zone.
