Scope:
The scope was to design a sheet metal enclosure for an industrial fan assembly with IP—rating
Why APA?
APA is working as an extended design team of this particular client for more than a decade
Design process:
- ● Understanding the components required in the fan assembly
- ● Designing the structural parts to support the fan and other components like filters, dampers etc.
- ● Assembling the fan and other components with necessary clearance to complete the structural assembly & proper insulation
- ● Designing enclosure sheets to cover up the structural components
- ● Adding doors in the necessary access areas
- ● Creating mounting holes as per the requirement and selecting optimum fasteners
- ● Packaging design for Insulation
- ● Preparing assembly drawings, sheet metal manufacturing drawings along with bill of Materials
Value Delivered:
- ● Avoiding complex Design - Designed the parts with simple bends to avoid difficulties during assembly
- ● Reducing manufacturing cost - Designed most of the features/parts as symmetrical wherever it is possible thus reduced the manufacturing cost
- ● Mounting all Structural and enclosures using fasteners to flexible of assembly and disassembly for ease maintenance
