Window glass, for example, is dipped in a solution and will drip all along the assembly line, she says. The dryers prevent the dripping and allow the solution to be recycled back into the vat. Last October, the Dobies introduced a molded version of dryer as an alternate to stainless steel. The molded version is a powder heated into the proper shape of the ducts. The work is done at a south Denver contractor.
Stainless steel costs more and starts with flat sheets that are constructed into the shapes.
Until last year, the Dobies contracted the stainless-steel cutting to a laser cutter company. The machine led to Dynamics WJ, a service that uses water-jet cutting on most flat manufacturing materials, and on some not suitable for laser cutting. There was so much out there that people were hand-cutting because a laser couldn't do it. And you have to have an extremely extensive exhaust system if you cut a lot of plastic. With this, it's just ambient temperature, so it just cuts it.
