Energy Composites Corporation Completes Proving Runs on MVP Large Bore Portable Winder
March 19 2010 - 9:30AM
Business Wire
Energy Composites Corporation announced the completion of a set
of rigorous proving runs using its portable large-bore Magnum Venus
Plastech Computerized Horizontal Helical Filament Winder. The
winder, which has the capacity to fabricate structures 40 feet in
diameter and 43 feet in length one piece construction, provides ECC
Corrosion’s Field Service Operations with the capability to build
very large composite structures in place on a customer’s job site,
eliminating the logistical issue to fabricate and ship in sections
for reassembly on site. The successful completion of the proving
runs allows for the commissioning of the portable field winder for
on-site use.
“Commissioning our new field service winder is an important
step,” noted Sam Fairchild, Energy Composites’ CEO. “The MVP winder
adds to our ability to deliver large on-site tanks, stacks and
ducts where size and transport costs would be an impediment to a
competitive and responsive offer. This winder allows us to
eliminate almost all freight costs associated with these oversized
tanks, which will give us a substantial competitive edge on
procurements for composite structures for large mining/refining or
flue gas desulfurization projects. Delivering very large seamless
tanks also gives us an advantage as well, since a seamless tank
will definitely outperform one assembled in sections.”
ECC fabricated four midsized vessels ranging in diameter from 16
to 20 feet, completing the production proving run. Two of the four
vessels were industrial tanks, while two were oversized ducts for a
flue gas desulfurization installation. The proving runs allowed ECC
to perfect its production process design for onsite work and
provided additional opportunity to complete safety and operational
training for the Company’s associates.
Jamie Mancl, ECC’s founder and President, added that “The Magnum
Venus winder worked perfectly. We fabricated the four vessels using
Owens Corning ECR grade glass, and found that the combination
worked smoothly. We were able to set up the winder quickly, and
break it down without a hitch. We look forward to its next
application onsite.”
Jim Thomas, ECC Corrosion’s National Sales Manager, said,
“Looking forward, we believe this winder will help us meet our
ambitious 2010 sales goals. It is our third portable winder, and we
look forward to its next use for our mining, chemical, water and
power generation clients.”
