Who here is ramping up production for the fight against Covid-19?

Small manufacturer of chemical feed systems here, production is ramping up as our municipal clients look to solidify their water treatment needs.

The only time the shop smells of glue is when I have to glue something in place. The fume hood takes care of the smell, and I personally think it helps cure the joints faster.

Probably does, you can see some cements tack up if you blow on them.

Fume hoods/paint booths use explosion proof motors and non-ferrous fans.

Get ready for some fun when the air/glue mixture finds a spark.

Got out first emergency order in. Throwing together a quick simplex skid for a water treatment plant. They are running at max capacity due to everyone staying home and consuming more water than usual. This skid will be pumping bleach. Built today, pressure tested and shipped tommorow. Up and running by early next week

We have our local machine shop manufacture these flaring tools for us. These tools generally run around $180 a piece if we were to buy them online.
