Aerospace and aviation machining, welding, metal finishing, coating, and painting processes are complex and messy, often requiring clean rooms with precise temperature and humidity controls, as well as the need to isolate and capture contaminants via positive or negative pressure. But, expensive permanent enclosures aren’t efficient for alternating between short-term production projects and long-term constructions. What if you had a flexible clean air alternative that you could quickly deploy for...
Environmental control is easier said than done when you’re manufacturing alternative energy solutions. Humidity, temperature fluctuations, and dust can corrode your copper solar panel or battery components. Metal finishing, coating, or painting containment is a daunting task when working with behemoth turbine bases and blades. But, how do you isolate your critical processes in a controlled clean air environment without breaking your material handling budget? The answer is a flexible indoor air filtration...
Whether you call it lean manufacturing or Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing, eliminating waste isn’t a new concept for bottom-line minded manufacturers. But, it isn’t easy to reduce operating costs while creating more value for your customers. This is especially the case for welding, sanding, painting, or other processes that produce harmful air contaminants and create production bottlenecks for larger construction projects. What if you had a portable, clean air solution to protect your employees...
You already know there’s no such thing as simple one-piece flow when it comes to boat building and repair. Larger pieces must be built in place and smaller subsystems, pipelines, and foundations are usually brought to the site. For smaller crafts, hulls and decks must be moved between workstations, usually via overhead cranes.
Whether you’re cutting, welding, coating, grinding, or sanding, every metal fabrication task produces dust and fumes that can threaten your employees’ safety, derail productivity, increase maintenance costs, and place you in directly in the EPA’s crosshairs. Oil mist and dust particles can settle into every crack and crevice of your machinery, electronics, and cooling fans, eventually causing equipment failure and downtime. Who has the time and resources to redesign an entire facility around...
Between manufacturing, MRO, and prototyping R&D, you don’t have time to rearrange your entire facility with the dedicated space and ductwork to shield your employees from airborne hexavalent chromium and VOCs generated during sanding and painting operations. What if you could defend against these air hazards with a portable clean air solution that moves with your manufacturing changeovers and alternating finishing and coating tasks? Duroair’s custom-engineered indoor air filtration systems do...
Stone cutting is one of the messiest operations in manufacturing – and the most hazardous. When it comes to producing dust, stone cutting generates clouds of dust that is far from harmless. Most concrete, masonry, and stone contain sand that is made of quartz and creates crystalline silica when cut. The inhalation of silica particles can scar the lungs or even lead to silicosis. Of course, you don’t need OSHA and NIOSH to tell you that silica dust is dangerous. What if you had a portable clean air...
From alternating between initial paint sprays and repairs with finishing and coating applications, you’re too busy to worry if your shop floor air is OSHA or EPA compliant. You want to protect your employees against sanding dust and spray fumes, but facility-wide HVAC systems can suck the air out of your bottom line. What if you had a cost-effective, clean air solution that could protect your employees from airborne hazards and even speed up drying times for a more efficient work flow?
