Major Equipment Investment Transforms Our Capabilities
We’re excited to announce a significant investment in our production facilities with the arrival of two state-of-the-art pieces of equipment – a high-performance Air Recirculating Oven and a fully compliant Airflow Water Wash Spray Booth. These additions will revolutionise our in-house manufacturing processes, enabling us to deliver even higher quality, efficiency and precision for our customers.
Our new Contractor range Air Recirculating Oven is engineered for demanding thermal processes up to 325°C, offering exceptional temperature accuracy and uniformity thanks to its powerful twin-scroll fan system and efficient air recirculation design. Capable of handling large components with ease, this oven will allow us to expand our finishing capabilities, improve turnaround times, and maintain the highest possible standards. Its robust construction, advanced safety features, and fully pre-wired assembly mean minimal installation disruption – allowing us to get straight to work.
Alongside this, our investment in a new Airflow Water Wash Spray Booth will elevate our coating and finishing capabilities. Designed to meet the latest European safety regulations and HSG 178 compliance, the booth ensures a clean, controlled and efficient spraying environment. Its high-strength CNC-manufactured galvanised steel panels, stainless steel water curtain, and patented ‘cartridge’ style exhaust fan are built for long-term reliability, even in the most demanding conditions.
Together, these installations mark a major step forward for Southwest Fabrications. They will allow us to process a wider variety of projects entirely in-house, reduce lead times, and offer an even greater level of quality control from start to finish.
This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, continuous improvement, and ensuring that our customers benefit from the very best manufacturing technology available.
