A major airline maintenance facility required a better quality, safe and operator friendly sanding environment. An existing room and system did not provide them with adequate features to ensure the health and safety of the operators. The operational requirement was to ensure that the trained employees were to perform their duty in a new room that provided both a dust capture system attached to their sanders and a dust collection system that provided them with a clean environment to ensure good visibility.

Solution

Our solution was to provide six Torit ECB power modules and install them in a freestanding position within a modified Torit /Pneuvay ECB6 room. This project also included the option of a special 6-point high performance vacuum system, which is incorporated into the room design for connecting to Riva or Festa sanders. This hi-vac system was also supplied with a set of tools that can be used for many uses including general cleaning of the floor, vacuuming out difficult crevices in the formwork and even cleaning at benches outside the room. The design concept of the hi-vac system is similar to the Pneuvay system installed at the Ford motor company in Campbellfield 

Note One of the important changes to the standard booth is the use of non reflective white panels around the bottom of the booth. This helps the operator view the edges of the work piece against a smooth non-reflective background enabling him to view any imperfections in the finishing work. This has dramatically improved the efficiency and quick quality of the finishing task.
