Fibreglass Dust Managed Effectively at Hamble Point Marina

Case Study Overview

Hamble Yacht Services recently refurbished the hull of a 50ft yacht located within the marina.

Challenge

The restoration work included; sanding the hull smooth, re-spraying it with coating, and then smoothing and polishing the surface. They therefore needed to ensure that the fibreglass dust and the coating fumes were controlled effectively.

Solution

Hamble Yacht Service’s need to contain dust and fumes was met fully by the WandaFilta Plus. This extraction unit is particularly suited to removing GRP and paint fumes, so it was ideal for the hull restoration. The WandaFilta Plus performs impressively even with duct-runs up to 80 metres and this feature, coupled with the portability of the unit, provided flexibility and convenience for all the team as they moved around the hull.
