Recently, VASEY designed and engineered a new air duct system after a paint booth fire, saving the manufacturer more than $250,000 in additional cost and downtime required to purchase and install a brand-new system.

Unfortunately for the customer, VASEY only became involved after the fire. A fire that could have been avoided with an ongoing preventive maintenance program.

The unit was nine feet square by three feet high. The booth was constructed of 16-gauge sheet metal with welded seams. There were no CAD drawings. Everything had to be engineered to specifications on-site.

With nothing more than the original opening dimensions, VASEY designed and engineered a new system for the paint drying booth – new panels (4-inches thick consisting of a 16-gauge, welded, metal casing and insulation) and an industrial-style fan (with a maximum heat capacity up to 250°F) were installed in the original opening.
