\u201cWe\u2019re a dry fertilizer blending and handling equipment manufacturer,\u201d Brian Mumford, Operations Manager at Waconia Manufacturing, said. With enthusiasm, Mumford explained Waconia\u2019s metal manufacturing business that began in 1959.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2008, we\u2019ve been an employee-owned company,\u201d Mumford said. \u201cWe are able to service the fertilizer market's needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waconia\u2019s fertilizer blend tower is their signature equipment produced. Their mission: to provide a premium quality product to the fertilizer industry supported with an effective marketing strategy, technical training, and unparalleled service.<\/p>\n

The Farr Gold Series dust collector at the newest Waconia Manufacturing Inc. factory ensures a clean work environment.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWhat we do in terms of the process contains a lot of different stages. This reflects the equipment we use. We have storage of raw materials. We do a lot of sawing and shearing, plasma cutting, punching, and drilling. We have rollers and press breaks, a paint booth where we do our own painting. And we have welders,\u201d Mumford said.<\/p>\n

In the spring of 2014, Waconia opened a brand new facility and began searching for the\u00a0best dust collector to keep the new facility clean.<\/p>\n

Camfil APC representative Glacier Technology assisted Waconia from the beginning in order to find the best solution. To avoid downdraft situations and the possibility of recirculating contaminated air, Glacier did not want the collection points for welding fumes lower than the return points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were up against an unducted, standalone vortex type of unit,\u201d Glacier said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

With the Farr Gold Series dust collector, the facility stays clean and clear of dust and fumes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Glacier and Waconia decided to install a centrally located, ducted\u00a0Farr Gold Series\u00a0for this project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe facility is brand new,\u201d Mumford said. \u201cWe had the luxury of figuring out which system would work best for the facility we were constructing. Glacier was involved in getting us a unit that would best serve our facility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the facility was new, Waconia chose to install a unit before there was any dust produced.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hadn\u2019t had time to have any issues [with dust] yet. And we haven\u2019t had to change out any filters yet. The filters have been running since we opened. The unit was installed prior to the facility functioning and started operating in April of 2014,\u201d Mumford said. \u201cBased on our meter readings, we will get around two and a half or three years out of our filters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glacier and Waconia chose to add abrasion resistant inlets to the Farr Gold Series because the ductwork was coming from the ceiling level and dropping into the collector. Also, dual smaller fans were used because of the small space.<\/p>\n

Waconia has two production facilities. The first one was opened when the company was founded in 1959.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019ve noticed is that the air in the new facility is clean and not hazy like in an older shop or a shop with bad air flow. Our high beams in the facility are painted white and they still look like they were painted a few days ago,\u201d Mumford said. \u201cWe have been really impressed with how the Farr Gold Series has maintained the look of the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

The employees and management are not the only ones who appreciate the clean air at Waconia Manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The factory's air is so clean that the reflection of lights overhead can be seen on the floor!<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWe had a paint company showcasing our paint booth and they were so impressed with how the building was set up and operating and how clean everything has been because of the air exchange system and maintaining a good work environment,\u201d Mumford said. \u201cIt will be interesting to see the difference between our old shop and new shop when we do particulate testing in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
