Challenge:
A growing manufacturer for the aerospace industry in South Carolina has utilized Air Purification Inc. for multiple applications over the past 15 years. With a newly expanded state of the art facility, the customer had a heightened sense of priority to maintain high standards of cleanliness for their employees in this multi-shift operation. The overall presentation of the facility to their customers or prospects during visits to the plant was also paramount.
Solution:
The first application we addressed was centerless grinders, to which we applied an Airflow Systems model MP-14 ducted to 3 grinders. The second application was sandblasting being performed with carbide tooling. Here we selected a self-cleaning model DCH-2.
Results:
The mist and smoke problems from the grinders were alleviated immediately. The system provided the customer with 100% mist/smoke removal and total operator satisfaction. The operator reports no ambient dust escaping from the carbide tooling. The area is now cleaner and safer. The systems were designed with OSHA compliance in mind, as well as space limitations and parts flow. Air Purification Inc. was selected as the supplier of choice because of our range of products, our performance guarantee and our ability to provide turnkey installations. The customer has been extremely happy with these products and our ongoing level of expertise and customer service.
