When Amerequip needed new finishing equipment, the decision to invest in a Batch Burn-Off Oven from GFS was an easy one, as Nick Vollrath knew the payback period would be short and trusted the equipment manufactured in his backyard.
As we look forward to what 2021 has in store, we pause to look back on 2020. While this year was marked by uncertainty and change, we enjoyed sharing customer stories, assisting you in keeping your shop and employees safe, and highlighting the process of achieving high-quality paint finishes.
Next month, GFS will be hosting a virtual Industrial Finishing Summit, a chance for industrial businesses to learn from industry experts about ways to improve their finishing operation, from the comfort of their own homes.
Codes and standards outlining proper paint storage guidelines minimize risks and protect your workers, equipment and facility. Understanding those codes and standards is key when storing, dispensing or mixing paint and selecting the right type of enclosure for your needs.
On large jobs or jobs with multiple equipment installs, it is essential to invest in finishing equipment from a manufacturer with project management capabilities. Businesses with dedicated project managers can invest more time in project planning; conduct more frequent project reviews to assess risks, milestones and value; and measure project outcomes more frequently.
A variety of personal protective equipment (PPE) is needed to keep painters safe on the job and help prevent health problems. Knowing how to mitigate the hazards of paint booths and which type of PPE is appropriate for tasks are the keys to running a safe finishing operation.
