Warehouse Services is a leading provider of steel pallets and industrial storage solutions. They are known for their commitment to quality, durability, and customer satisfaction. With a focus on efficiency and innovation, Warehouse Services has become a trusted partner in the logistics and manufacturing industries, offering products that are built to last and tailored to meet the specific needs of their clients.

To meet increasing demand and improve the quality of their steel pallet production, Warehouse Services aimed to enhance their manufacturing capabilities. Their primary objective was to implement a blasting and painting solution that would allow them to improve the surface preparation and finishing of their products, ensuring consistent quality while increasing productivity. The project aimed to achieve an efficient, scalable system that could support future growth.

Warehouse Services faced the challenge of integrating both blasting and painting capabilities within their existing facility in a way that would be easy to implement and scalable for future growth. They required a system that could handle the heavy-duty blasting and coating required for steel pallets while ensuring operational efficiency and safety.

BlastOne provided Warehouse Services with a complete blast and paint booth solution tailored to their needs. The blast booth was constructed with inside dimensions of 12’W x 12’H x 26’L, featuring 2” rock wool insulation for noise reduction, rubber protection on the walls, and a heavy-duty roll-up door. The booth was equipped with ceiling-mounted LED light fixtures with protective covers and safety interlock switches on all doors, ensuring a safe working environment. The full-floor abrasive recovery system incorporated a sweeper-style recovery mechanism, a bucket elevator with a vibrating screen, and an airwash to optimize abrasive reuse, enhancing environmental sustainability and cost-efficiency.

The paint booth was designed with similar dimensions to provide flexibility in the production line, equipped with double-swing product doors, a semi-downdraft ventilation system, and a high-powered blower motor for efficient airflow. The booth was also integrated with a make-up air unit for temperature control, allowing for consistent and high-quality paint application. The paint booth setup included a paint mix room to ensure the proper handling and mixing of paints, further contributing to safety and efficiency.

Both booths were designed to operate independently while ensuring seamless integration into the existing production workflow, minimizing disruptions during installation. The solution also included a dust collection system for the blast booth with an 8,000 CFM cartridge dust collector, auto-pulsing system, and ducting, maintaining air quality and ensuring compliance with safety standards.
