PROJECT BACKGROUND
Northwest Pipe Company specializes in the fabrication of steel pipes primarily for fresh water applications. Their commitment to quality and innovation has made them a leader in their industry. The primary objective of this project was to address the challenge of overspray during the polyurethane application process. Northwest Pipe Company needed a custom paint booth solution that would contain overspray, exhaust VOCs, and seamlessly integrate with their existing inline conveyor system.
CHALLENGES
The unique challenge in this project was designing and building a booth around an existing inline conveyor system while ensuring effective sealing for pipes of different diameters. Containing overspray and managing VOCs were critical aspects that needed to be addressed for a safer and more efficient working environment.
SOLUTION
BlastOne, a trusted partner for industrial solutions, was brought in to provide expertise and support. Leveraging experience and understanding of the client’s needs, BlastOne offered a custom paint booth solution measuring 18’W x 15’H x 10’L, equipped with a Make-Up Air Unit. This solution was tailored to meet the specific requirements of Northwest Pipe Company, ensuring efficient containment of overspray and effective ventilation to mitigate VOCs.
PROJECT DETAILS
BlastOne was engaged as a repeat supplier, reflecting the trust and satisfaction of Northwest Pipe Company with their previous collaborations. The custom paint booth provided by BlastOne was meticulously designed to fit seamlessly over the existing inline conveyor system, addressing the challenge of integrating the new solution with the ongoing production process.
RESULTS
The implementation of the custom paint booth delivered significant benefits to Northwest Pipe Company. It provided a safer working environment by containing overspray and preventing buildup on critical infrastructure such as electrical panels and walls. Moreover, the efficient ventilation system effectively managed VOCs, contributing to environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance.
In conclusion, BlastOne’s tailored solution not only addressed the immediate challenges faced by Northwest Pipe Company but also provided long-term benefits in terms of safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
