Finishing tank walls and tank heads
For the finishing of tank walls and heads Cibo offers a wide range of abrasive belts, ensuring a smooth transition through the different phases of the finishing process, from rough machining to fine polishing. Thanks to our longstanding experience in abrasive belt production, we can guarantee a consistent
finish, while saving you time and money. This consistent finish is essential for fabricating tanks from steel/stainless steel, non-ferrous metals or composites.
Furthermore, we have an extensive selection of grit types and sizes, backings, and belt sizes: whatever your material and the required finish, we’re sure to have the perfect match.

Preparing for paint and coating applications
Good paint adhesion starts with perfect surface preparation. For optimal adhesion of paint or coating, a uniform surface roughness is essential, whether for large areas or spot repairs.
Thanks to their ease of use, quick change capability, and reliable performance, grip and quick-change discs are an indispensable part of any painting process.
