Managing waste collection equipment requires more than just functional gear – it demands professional presentation. For JJ’s Waste & Recycling, Australasia’s largest privately owned waste management company with 90 years of industry experience, keeping their industrial bins and cages looking fresh and professional is essential to maintaining their reputation and operational standards. When JJ’s reached out to Egmont Air they found a team ready to deliver a practical solution, the TD3 Spray Booth System, that’s improving their approach to equipment refurbishment.
The Challenge of Repainting in a Safe Environment
JJ’s Waste & Recycling’s industrial bins and waste collection cages are workhorses of the waste management industry, but they endure harsh conditions daily – from extreme weather exposure to the corrosive nature of various waste materials. Over time, these essential pieces of equipment need a refresh to maintain both functionality and the professional appearance that clients expect from a company with JJ’s reputation.
The challenge was finding a painting solution that could handle medium-sized industrial equipment while ensuring:
- Complete safety for operators
- Compliance with strict spray-booth legislation
- Efficient overspray capture
- Professional-quality finish results
Egmont Air’s TD3 Spray Booth System
Egmont Air recommended their TD3 spray-booth unit, specifically engineered for painting applications involving medium-sized objects like JJ’s industrial bins and cages. This isn’t just any spray booth – it’s a comprehensive solution designed with three critical functions in mind.
Safe Overspray Capture
The system’s primary function addresses one of the biggest concerns in industrial painting operations. The TD3 Spray Booth safely captures overspray from painting processes, preventing contamination of the surrounding work environment. For a company like JJ’s this level of environmental control is of top importance.
Operator Protection
Worker safety is paramount in any industrial operation, and the TD3 Spray Booth System excels in protecting operators’ breathing zones from harmful gases and fumes. Clean air is drawn past the operator at precisely 0.5 meters per second – the optimised airflow ratio that effectively extracts excess overspray and harmful gases without disturbing the spray pattern needed for a perfect paint finish.
Regulatory Compliance
Compliance with spray-booth legislation is essential for any industrial painting operation in New Zealand. The TD3 Spray Booth System is designed to meet these regulatory requirements while enabling safe operating procedures.
The TD3 Spray Booth in Action
The technical sophistication of the Egmont TD3 becomes apparent in its design details. Concertina filter-paper captures sticky paint overspray with remarkable efficiency, while clean air passes through a flame-proof rated fan before being discharged vertically to atmosphere through the top-mounted outlet. The system comes complete with single-stage filtration, though optional two-stage filtration is available for even more demanding applications.
Key features that make this solution ideal for JJ’s operation include:
Stand-alone Design: No building fixtures required, providing flexibility for JJ’s facility layout.
Centrifugal Fan Technology: Maintains optimum airflow under load, ensuring consistent performance even during intensive painting sessions.
Exe Flame-proof Certification: Critical for safety in industrial environments where various chemicals and solvents may be present.
Dry Media Filtration: Efficient and cost-effective filtration system designed specifically for painting applications.
The Broader Impact: Equipment Longevity and Professional Standards
This new system for JJ’s Waste & Recycling is about more than just equipment supply – it’s about maintaining the standards that clients expect from a professional waste management company. By enabling efficient refurbishment of industrial bins and cages, the spray-booth system extends equipment lifespan, maintains professional appearance, and ensures that JJ’s collection equipment continues to reflect their commitment to quality service.
“The new booth is great – it’s awesome to have a solution which is the correct size for painting our bins, fit for purpose and meets regulations for spray booth standards. The old booth was outdated and not compliant so it’s been great to work with Egmont Air, the installers were great to work with. We are looking forward to using it!!” – James, JJ’s Waste & Recycling, Auckland Branch.
