Project Profile
Exal Corporation, a manufacturer of aluminum cans,took advantage of Moffitt’s free ventilation design and they are now reaping the benefits.
Exal’s goal was to lower the temperature at theoperating floor to provide a better work environmentfor their personnel.
As part of the Pressure Gravity System®, Moffitt provided and installed the low profile ventilator andhooded roof fans to reduce temperatures at a morerapid rate.
The result was a decrease in temperature by 20°F, more comfortable personnel, and a satisfied plant manager.
Client: Rio Tinto Alcan
Application: Aluminum Smelter
Location: Kitimat, BC Canada
Equipment Summary:
6m x 201 m Labyrinth Natural Ventilator
(59) 4m wide x 2.5m High LV7590 Wall Louver
Project Profile
As part of their North American partnership the Colt Groupand Moffitt Corporation teamed up to provide equipmentthat was designed for an anode pallet storage building for Rio Tinto Alcan. This project was to help their plans for the (KMP) Kitimat Modernization Project- set in place to increase Rio Tinto’s production by over 48%.
Rio Tinto’s engineering firm, Bechtel, contacted Colt/Moffitt for assistance with design of ventilation equipment for the storage facility. Engineering design chosen was natural ventilation utilizing Labyrinth ventilator at the roof and 90 degree operable wall intake louvers.
Other key features of the project: Testing of Labyrinth was conducted to prove the units would withstand the heavy snow loads that are designed for in the Kitimat region. Colt/Moffitt provided local field assembly and supervision services for the Labyrinth and louvers at the Kitimat jobsite.
The co-op of Colt and Moffitt led to the complete design,engineering, manufacturing and supplying of the ventilation equipment. All manufacturing was done at Moffitt’s plant in the United States.
Client: Goodyear
Application: Tire Factory
Location: Dalian, China
Equipment Summary:
Continuous Relief Ventilators 474 m2 of 600mm
Continuous Relief Ventilators 5,203 m2 of 1200mm
Continuous Relief Ventilator 376 m2 of 3000mm
Project Profile
Goodyear is one of the world’s largest tire companies, with operations in most regions of the world. Together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, Goodyear operates 54 plants in 22 countries.
Spaceframe/Moffitt Industrial Ventilation Products won the contract for the design and manufacture of the ventilation equipment for Goodyear’s facilities in Dalian, China. In China, ventilation systems are a little different from those in the US. In the US air movement is the top priority to consider with ventilation.
In China however, the priorities are:
- Worker Safety (smoke release in case of fire)
- Natural Lighting for Good Global Environmental Stewardship
- Facility Ventilation
Spaceframe/Moffitt Industrial Ventilation was able to meet all of Goodyear’s priority list with our CRV by incorporating value added options to the unit. Contact your local Moffitt representative for assistance meeting your facility requirements.
