Pauli Systems Fabricated Metal Parts Finishing
Fabricated metal parts can range from brackets and panels to welded frames that move through blasting, cleaning, liquid coating, powder coating and cure steps. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services Pauli Systems blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media recovery systems, along with booth exhaust, make-up air, ovens and utility connections that support metal fabrication finishing lines.

Mixed Part Sizes And Racking
Fabrication shops often run changing part families, so the finishing area needs enough flexibility for racks, carts, hooks and larger welded assemblies. Planning should include the tallest rack, widest part, load spacing, operator access and the path from raw fabrication into surface preparation.
Prep Area Containment
Blast rooms and abrasive booths need dust collection, media recovery, compressed air and cleanout access sized around the work being processed. The layout should keep abrasive residue away from coating areas while leaving room to inspect floors, hoppers, reclaim components and collector connections.
Coating Line Utility Planning
Liquid booths, powder booths and ovens place different demands on exhaust, replacement air, electrical service, gas, lighting and controls. Routing those systems early helps prevent conflicts with conveyors, carts, sprinkler piping, roof structure and future maintenance access.
Relocation Without Disrupting The Process
When equipment is moved, the new location should be checked against part flow, panel condition, fan placement, duct paths and utility changes. A useful relocation review includes existing drawings if available, photos from each side, floor dimensions and notes on what production problems the move should solve.
Frequently asked questions
What should a fabrication shop prepare before a finishing equipment visit?
Prepare part size ranges, rack or cart dimensions, photos of the proposed area, utility locations, ceiling height and a simple description of current production flow.
How are blast rooms coordinated with coating areas?
They are planned to control dust and media while allowing clean parts to move efficiently into coating. Door placement, staging space and air movement are important details.
Can one finishing area support both liquid and powder coating?
It can be planned that way when equipment, airflow, utility needs, cure requirements and cleanliness expectations are considered together.
Why does make-up air matter for metal parts finishing?
Exhaust fans remove air from the building. Replacement air helps maintain booth performance, building pressure and operator comfort when the system is operating.
What service issues are common around busy finishing cells?
Common service needs include filter access, fan vibration checks, duct inspection, lighting replacement, door or panel repairs and review of airflow concerns.
