Sioux Center High School

Sioux Center High School

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that welders have a bright job outlook in coming years.  Sioux Center High School wanted to capitalize on this career path and asked Environmental Air Technology to create a solution to provide a Weld Shop, a Wood Shop, and a paint booth. This project is a great example of how we can provide a complete solution for a school wanting to expand their industrial technology opportunities.

Wood Shop

The wood shop was designed with a Micro Air RP6 -12 Cartridge Dust Collector.  The collector is equipped with top-mount explosion vents, high efficiency cartridge filters and ground mount GreenHeck Blower.  This system provides 8,500 CFM.

This system is also equipped with:

• Duct mounted spark detection and spark extinguishing systems
• Explosion Isolation Damper on the negative air ductwork
• High speed abort gate on clean air duct work return to building
• Micro Air Intelli-touch panel with built in VFD that auto adjusts air volume dependent on filter loading
• NFPA 664,654,652 compliant

Weld Shop

The weld shop was designed with the following:

• 10 Micro Air XA23 Downdraft Tables designed to capture weld fume and particulates before entering the student breathing zone. These self-cleaning units will provide 2 years of filter life.
• 2 Micro Air TM1000 Portable Downdraft Units to capture weld fume being produced outside of the weld booths

Paint Booth

• The paint booth was designed with a Rohner bench style booth.
• The spray booth includes paint overspray filters, Class II, Div. 2 light fixtures and a rooftop Greenheck Make-up air unit.
