In plant engineering at Storm, solutions are created that are more than just mere machines – they are the heart of efficient, automated, and future-proof production processes.
Whether surface or wastewater treatment, special installations, or complete systems: Our modular concepts and intelligent automation ensure smooth processes and maximum process reliability.
Learn how ideas become high-performance systems – individually planned, precisely manufactured, and sustainably operated.
Storm implements customized surface treatment systems for the industrial processing of semi-finished metal products – from planning and manufacturing to commissioning. Our installations consist of modular treatment stations and fully automated transport systems that enable seamless process control. The material flow is largely automated: After manual loading, automatic crane systems take over the transfer to the protected system area, where the workpieces are guided through the various process steps depending on the respective program – e.g., pretreatment, pickling, phosphating, or coating.
The systems are individually designed in accordance with product requirements and have integrated supply systems such as tank storage systems, pumping stations, and pipeline networks for safe media handling. The process is controlled by modern automation technology, which enables both flexible product changes and transparent process monitoring. Upon request, the systems can be fitted with energy-efficient technology and advanced measurement technology for process and quality control.
Storm accompanies you as a partner throughout the entire life cycle of the system – from the initial idea to continuous further development.
Our wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) are specifically designed for industrial processes such as surface treatment – but can be flexibly adapted to a wide variety of applications involving chemically contaminated wastewater. We rely on a proven, multi-stage system for physico-chemical treatment. The wastewater treatment plant enables the safe treatment of acidic and alkaline wastewater – with the option of recirculating the water back into the process, provided the quality requirements are met.
Highlights of our wastewater treatment plants:
• Multi-stage batch treatments with precise pH control and precipitation
• Sedimentation and final filtration for the highest treated water quality
• Continuous monitoring of the pH value, turbidity, conductivity, and liquid levels
• Automated control and seamless digital documentation
• Water recirculation – for virtually wastewater-free production
• Expandable with selective ion exchange systems or evaporators – for even higher purification performance or closed-loop recirculation
Our systems offer maximum process reliability, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness – individually tailored to your requirements
From modern control concepts to modularly expandable systems, we develop automation solutions that make complex processes reliably manageable. Our systems are based on robust Siemens technology and an intuitive operating logic that noticeably simplifies everyday life while simultaneously offering high operational safety.
Individually customized control systems integrate seamlessly into existing systems and can be expanded or adapted to new requirements at any time. Clear interfaces, flexible modules, and well-thought-out security concepts ensure stable and transparent operation.
This also includes modernizations during ongoing operations. Outdated components are replaced by modern technology, digital monitoring systems can be integrated, and processes can be made to be more energy-efficient. This ensures that even older plant technology remains viable in the long term.
Whether automated laboratory etching systems, special cranes, energy-efficient drying furnaces or complete extraction systems with enclosure and exhaust air scrubbers – we develop individual solutions in special plant engineering that are precisely tailored to your requirements. You benefit from our own design and manufacturing expertise as well as the network of specialized partner companies within the Hatec Group.
An example: Our fully automated laboratory etching system for processing slab samples offers maximum process reliability, reproducible results, and intuitive operation. All treatment steps – from inserting the samples to etching and rinsing to drying – are automated and can be controlled via a visualization. Exhaust air routing, chemical dosing and wastewater treatment are just as well thought out as the ergonomic design of the work processes.
A special highlight: The entire system, without pipework and peripherals, is designed to be so compact that it fits on a conventional truck – ideal for fast transport and rapid commissioning.
Another example: Automatic cleaning systems for pipework systems and their components that are prone to encrustation – especially in the field of zinc phosphating. This ensures that processes run smoothly and efficiently in the long term. Even when things get complex – with the knowledge of the entire Hatec Group, we are almost always able to find a solution.
