Addressing the technical skills gap with solution led fan selections

Having looked for a solution independently, a leading containment booth manufacturer needed an expert to advise on integration options and chose Axair to overcome the scarcity of their inhouse technical.

As seen widely across the industrial fan, our customer had a vacant technical position that was key to the continuation of the business, therefore the company had a skills gap in that their current employees were not experienced in a­­­ll technical.

They needed support from a supplier to select a fan component based on the engineering principles of an ATEX application they were not familiar with, to make the solution safe, efficient, and deliverable. This made the fan selection more difficult than standard fans, so they’d struggled with all the major UK manufacturers. The experience of Axair’s in-house technical team was utilised through online meetings to get to know each other better and to build up trust.

Andrew visited the customer for a physical analysis, to solidify the technical principles they assumed had met the brief, and check whether they had correctly applied advanced fan principles. The company chose Axair as they analysed, stayed committed and delivered a solution.
