54' X 74' Equipment Enclosure
Challenge: Conmet, a manufacturing facility in Canton, NC, needed a custom equipment enclosure to support foam padding production. The enclosure had to ensure environmental control for product quality and consistency, while also providing additional storage space.
Solution: Panel Built designed and delivered a 54' x 74' two-wall enclosure, standing 14' tall, with a load-bearing roof for extra storage. The exterior was clad in Class A Fire-shield gypsum board and vinyl-finished for durability, while the interior featured FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) for a clean and resilient surface. The enclosure also included a one-pound density polystyrene core for thermal insulation, achieving an R-Value of 11, and a suspended ceiling with R-19 Kraft-faced fiberglass insulation batts for enhanced thermal control.
Key Features:
- Environmental Control: A polystyrene core and fiberglass insulation ensure a stable internal temperature for optimal production conditions.
- Durable Construction: The exterior was finished with Class A Fire-shield gypsum board and FRP-lined interiors for long-lasting performance.
- High-Speed Roll-Up Doors: Four roll-up doors allow for easy access, improving production flow and efficiency.
- Load-Bearing Roof: Designed to support a 30 PSF load and an additional 1,200-pound air handler for effective temperature regulation.
Conclusion: Panel Built’s custom equipment enclosure for Conmet showcases our ability to meet specialized industrial needs with precision. This project demonstrates our expertise in delivering tailored solutions that enhance efficiency and support critical manufacturing processes.
