Best welding extraction in new premises
As well as attention to environmental issues and dedication to R&D, Best Bars has invested in future growth with a new, purpose-built headquarters and production facility in Wiri, Auckland.
The ability to adapt and meet the ever-changing needs of the customer is critical for a project as big as this. Working in the same space with many other contractors can be a challenge but the end result is that you must meet your time commitments.
Best Bars required maximum future-proofing in the system, so NZ Duct&Flex ordered fans in from JKF Denmark. Each model in the new JKF fan series has a very large air volume range, so the three units were connected to the power supply via variable speed drives.
Robotic welding
Most of the extraction was set up for robotic welders, but to ensure the flexible welding capability required by Best Bars, NZ Duct & Flex also supplied and fitted six three-metre reach fume arms and connected them to the main system.
These also come from Europe and are stocked in 75mm, 100mm, 125mm and 160mm diameters. So if Best Bars decided tomorrow that they wanted to expand production, the company can add to the ducting and supply almost anything else they require within an hour's notice, if required.
Customer satisfied !
Best Bar's Clifford Jackson said: "I am delighted with the overall quality and functioning of the system. The project was scoped many months prior to installation and NZ Duct+Flex were able to understand the changes required, and keep up with project timing to ensure our overall project plan was successfully achieved. The team at NZ Duct+Flex accommodated all our needs and were highly professional in their approach. Geoff and Neal were always available and willing to help with advice and guidance."
