In October 2025, Catten Industries engaged Ryonex to install an automated chemical dosing system and upgrade the facility’s dust collector. These enhancements improved chemical concentration control and process consistency, and the installation of the RMCS 7000 CFM open-faced dust collector created a cleaner, safer powder coating environment by reducing airborne and excess powder and minimising the risk of contamination.
Continuing to operate without an automated chemical dosing system posed significant risks to product quality and process control. Manual dosing increased the likelihood of inconsistent chemical levels, leading to variations in coating quality and reduced performance of the finished product. Implementing an automated system was essential to stabilise chemical concentrations and maintain consistent product standards.
Operating with insufficient dust collection posed risks to workplace safety, cleanliness, and product quality. Employees were exposed to higher levels of airborne and excess powder within the coating area, impacting both safety and overall environment quality, while the powder application process faced an increased risk of contamination. Upgrading the dust collector was necessary to reduce airborne particles, minimise contamination risk, and create a safer, cleaner working environment.
Ryonex identified critical issues within the chemical management process, along with performance limitations in the existing dust collector system. A comprehensive assessment of the equipment, operational processes, and facility requirements was conducted to determine the root causes. Based on these findings, Ryonex implemented a tailored solution to effectively address and resolve the challenges.
The solution included:
The upgrades were expertly installed and seamlessly integrated into existing operations, ensuring minimal disruption to production. This solution enhanced process control, improved cleanliness in the powder coating area, and delivered a safer, more efficient working environment for employees.
