Cold Metal Spray Equipment Onboard – A New Tool for Ship Engineers

Hello colleagues,





I’d like to share information about a compact, low-pressure cold spray system that can become an essential part of the onboard mechanical workshop for senior engineers and ship mechanics.





This technology allows you to:





  • Remove corrosion and apply zinc coatings locally – ideal for emergency anti-corrosion protection.
  • Restore bearing and seal fits on shafts and housings – including in-situ repairs.
  • Repair surface damage such as scratches on hydraulic cylinders.
  • Seal fluid and gas leaks in pipelines by building up material with no welding.
  • Perform all repairs without heat, preserving the base metal’s structure and avoiding deformation.







The system requires only single-phase 230V / 16A power and 6 bar compressed air, both readily available on most vessels.





Having such a system onboard increases the autonomy of the engine room crew and reduces downtime due to mechanical issues.





If you’re interested, I’d be happy to provide more technical details or case studies.


Looking forward to your thoughts and experience with similar tools.





Best regards,

Hello, I really think this can be a lifesaver if it works, as I have seen from the videos. Where do you get the powder from, thou, and do you know what the price is for this machine?
