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 systems 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 systems are comprised 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 plant 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 farms, 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 equipped 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 chemical-physical processing. The WTP 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 WTPs:
• Multi-stage batch treatments with precise pH control and precipitation
• Sedimentation and final filtration for the highest clear water quality
• Continuous monitoring of the pH value, turbidity, conductivity, and filling levels
• Automated control and seamless digital documentation
• Water recirculation – for virtually wastewater-free production
• Expandable with selective ion exchangers or evaporators – for even higher purification performance or complete 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 offering high operational reliability.
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 construction 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 handling 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 pipe systems and their components that are prone to encrustation – especially in the area 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.
