History
Phibo Industries is a Belgian specialist in surface treatment, founded in 1988 and based in Ronse. What started with blasting technology grew into blasting cabinets, parts washers and degreasing machines, blacking lines and the SublimotionProcess®, consumables and service included.
What it gives you
Out of that build-up come the techniques Phibo supplies today: blasting, cleaning, degreasing, blacking and conditioning.
Oil, grease, cutting fluid, chips, soil or weld discolouration: we pick the technique to suit your part and your soiling, not the other way round.
Maintenance, repair and spare parts are arranged directly with Phibo.
Our installations run in aerospace, food, pharma, chemicals and automotive, at customers in ten countries.
One partner, from the first conversation to the last spare part.
Philippe Bourdeaud'hui started with blasting technology, and Sabena was the first customer. Technique after technique was added afterwards, always within the same specialisation.
It began with blasting: hand blast cabinets and blasting installations, at first with blasting media thrown away after use, later with pneumatic recovery and a filter unit, so the same media goes back into the cabinet. The modular PRO-impact® blast cabinets and the VACU-impact® range grew out of that line.
Blackening came next, with the Blackfast process: blackening steel and cast iron at room temperature, and therefore without the heat and the risks of the classic process. Then the washing and degreasing machines, which added wet surface treatment alongside the dry route, and air abrasive cleaning with the MCS² system: gentle cleaning without damaging the substrate.
The fifth technique is the SublimotionProcess®, patented in Europe, for conditioning stainless steel surfaces in food, pharma and medical. It was nominated for the Industrie Awards in the Best Practice in Process category, and for the Belgian and European Business Awards for the Environment. Research with universities and research institutes into surface contamination and cleanability has been running ever since.
Today those five techniques sit under one roof in Ronse, with the blasting media, the detergents, the spare parts and the service alongside them, and with blasting and cleaning processes that are also run automated and robotised.
Three techniques grown out of the same specialisation.
These companies audit their suppliers before anything is delivered. Phibo has passed those audits.
