Hartzell offering powder coated products

Hartzell Air Movement, a Piqua-based industrial ventilation company, has added a new powder coat paint booth to increase product consistency and quality control, company officials announced.

Officials said the new process is safer for the environment than liquid paints because it doesn’t contain any solvents.

The new paint booth also improves production efficiency because it has a quicker curing process.

Powder coating doesn’t involve additional pre-mixing, stirring, solvent additions or viscosity adjustments, which means less product variation and better control over quality, officials said.

Hartzell Air Movement is a maker of general and process ventilation equipment, from propeller fans to turbo pressure blowers. The company has been in business since 1875 and has manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Indiana and Singapore.
