Overview
A modular unit was needed to circulate and retain fluid when testing nozzles on industrial sprayers.
Problem/Application
A cart was needed to house these components in a central location allowing for easy movement and fast clean up.
Solution
Faztek designers worked closely with the customer to understand the entire scope of the project. With that, Faztek designed a cart with a cabinet built into it. The cabinet was built to house a water pump and water tank that a stainless steel tank/sink would drain into the pump. The water pump pumps fluid to nozzles on the top rail of the Faztek cabinet to test industrial sprayers.
Conclusion
After the assembly and installation of all the components, this fluid catch basin is complete and ready for use. The unit was tested and was proven to be a time saver for both testing and clean up, as well as a cost saver due to the capture of the fluid used in testing.
