We sent Tyler DePoppe and Dan Curran down to San Antonio with our DE4040, WL16000HE, EC18000VE, and introduced our new DE30!

WINCO took the opportunity to showcase what a lot of other spray foam companies have already noticed; quality generators that are dependable and can keep up through the work day. We have worked with many of our current customers, as well as spray foam manufacturers, to design and engineer the best power source available. We started with the DE4040 with a 40 psi compressor, we since had added a 23kW, 40kW, 50kW and our newest, 30kW.
COME SEE US AT THE SPFA SPRAY FOAM CONVENTION IN SAN ANTONIO, TX
FEBRUARY 28th – MARCH 3rd!!
**We will be introducing a new generator!**
At WINCO, we design, fabricate and assemble our own housing components.
Fun Fact: We have the ability to provide sheet metal housing for our generators that are decades old!
Each housing is constructed from galvanealed steel. A sheet of steel is loaded into our laser cutter. We generate nitrogen on-site that allows our laser to cut without impurities oxidizing on the edge.
After being cut, we form them using CNC brake presses. These machines are capable of repeatable ram movements of .0001 inches.
The most critical part of the paint process is the wash. We use phosphoric acid to clean and prepare the steel so the paint will properly adhere.
We have partnered with Axalta to provide all of our paints. These paints cure though a heating process. The finished product is a durable paint that will withstand time.
Our foam cutter is programmed to make precise cuts to our exact specifications.
We use half inch high temp melamine and one inch polyurethane foam. The adhesive can uphold in -45 up to +170 degrees. The high temp melamine foam is used around all components that radiate heat. This maintains safety of the unit.
You can get more information on our housing here.
A few years ago, we implemented a system that assist us to organize and clean up work areas. By integrating these standards, we have sped up production, minimized mistakes, and are creating an organized area.
Currently, we have been focusing on our receiving area. With the issues with getting certain materials from suppliers, we have been ordering other components well in advanced. That ensures that once backordered supplies arrive at our facility, we are ready to build. As you can imagine, having more materials in the facility has given us a space issue.
We have increased our raw materials over 70%. This increase lets us provide better delivery dates and reduce gaps in production time.
Our receiving department also houses our picked parts. We have been organizing spaces to accommodate new materials, and also going through our stock. Any items that are not picked on a regular basis will be put in a designated inventory area. This opens up space to ensure regularly required parts are accessible. While all of this organizing is happening, it gives us the ability to do a more in depth inventory count.
An area that was once our winding department now houses engines and gen ends.
We are adding more sort bins to utilize shelf space and ease of access.
As WINCO continues to grow, our need for space will be an ongoing, but welcomed challenge. Stay tuned to find out more about how our facility prepares for the future!
