Built to Perform. Trusted by Manufacturers.

NIX® Industrial supports the manufacturing industry with specialized services including custom metal fabrication, CNC machining, gear manufacturing and repair, industrial coatings (liquid, powder, and E-coat), and structural steel fabrication. We help manufacturers minimize downtime through equipment rebuilds, on-site field services, and reverse engineering of obsolete parts. Our short-run and contract manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce components at scale with speed and accuracy, while our material sales center supplies both new and discounted metals for everyday production needs. With certified processes (AISC, ISO) and advanced technology such as robotic welding, laser cutting, and 5-axis machining, we deliver the quality and reliability manufacturing operations depend on.

We help keep America's industries

CASE STUDY

Fan Housing Failure

A customer was facing critical challenges with their cooling system. Their industrial fan was suffering from imbalances caused by coolant and exhaust buildup, leading to premature failures of the electric motor and bearings – resulting in costly downtime and maintenance expenses. Additionally, cracks in the housing’s centering fins and permanent deformations were further exacerbating the situation.

To address these challenges, we created a solution that focused on enhancing the fan’s performance, prolonging the lifespan of the electric motor, and ensuring the structural integrity of the housing.

High-Gloss Powder Coating: We applied a high-gloss powder coating to the housing itself. This coating not only enhanced the housing’s durability and resistance to environmental factors but also facilitated easy cleaning during regular maintenance.

Anti-Graffiti Coating: The fan blades were coated with an anti-graffiti solution to counter the buildup caused..
