ULTRA WET DOWNDRAFT HYDROAIR(R) TABLE FOR EXPLOSIVE METAL DUST

Schubert Environmental Equipment previously made a standard HydroAIR(R) Wet Downdraft Table for a startup metal additive company, as they were concerned about present and future generation of explosive dusts. A year later they contacted us again to see if a larger, ultra-heavy strength table was possible that could carry a 4,000 to 5,000 lb. loading. As far as our research could verify, a table of this capacity had never been made.

The design would require reversing the normal Patented access to the sump and mist pads because the table would be used to hold equipment (for metal additive) that could not easily be relocated, plus the item being manufactured would sit on the table for weeks or more. The manufactured items would end up being exceptionally large and thus, the reason for the needed weight capacity of the new table. We were never given more information as this startup company was developing high mass density metal additive manufacturing. Additionally, they wanted to have sump quick pump out capability which also offered optional “tap off” accumulated suspended material.

All has worked out very well for a “one of a kind” Wet Downdraft Table and combustible/explosion concerns are addressed.
