Metal Fabrication
Compressed Air and Finishing Equipment for the Fabrication Industry
Fabricated metal products are integrated, shaped or refined parts that create an end, useful product. Classified under the 332 NAICS code, metal fabrication services are essential to all industry, commerce and consumer markets sectors. As leaders in compressed system fabrication, we understand the unique needs of the metal fabrication industry.
Air compressors and paint finishing systems are vital for fabricated metal product manufacturing. Implementing and optimizing compressed air tools and paint finishing systems enhances productivity and quality when creating these products. At C.H. Reed, we have a large selection of high-quality, reliable metal fabrication air compressors and paint finishing equipment for metal product manufacturers of all sizes.
About the Fabricated Metal Products and the Fabrication Industry
Metal fabrication transforms metal into intermediate products, end products, and machines — from assembly to the finished product. Some critical metal fabrication processes include forging, bending, stamping, forming, machining, welding and assembling
The metal fabrication industry has applications across many subsectors and products. Different industry groups within the fabricated metal product manufacturing sector include:
- Cutlery and hand tools
- Architectural and structural metals
- Hardware
- Springs and wires
- Screws, nuts and bolts
- Coating, engraving and heat treating
- Boiler, tank, and shipping containers
- Machine shops
- Forging and stamping
In all fabrication industry processes, compressed air and finishing equipment are essential to the efficiency and quality of your manufacturing.
How Are Compressed Air Equipment and Finishing Equipment Used in the Fabrication Industry?
Air compressors are a central power source in the manufacturing process for fabricated metal products. They power equipment for cutting, welding, fastening, and finishing metal projects. Compressed air keeps vital equipment running, whether it’s a laser or a cutback saw. Metal fabrication companies use various air compressors and components depending on their application.
Finishing systems for fabricated metal products are also crucial to the appearance and quality of the final product. Paint colors need to be consistent and contaminant-free, and the finish needs to look and feel smooth while providing a protective coating to enhance the piece’s quality. Products such as plural component metering systems, paint spray guns, and powder coating equipment enhance accuracy and control for easy, spotless finishes.
Compressed air and paint finishing equipment are vital components designed to increase your output while producing a better-finished product.
