Celebrate National Welding Month with Stephanie, Nippon Sanso Matheson Welder and Our April Employee Spotlight

“It’s breaking norms down not by pushing them over, but by having and possessing the knowledge to earn the respect of those around you.” – Stephanie

As we celebrate Welding Month, Nippon Sanso Matheson is excited to highlight Stephanie, a skilled welder and former production floor supervisor, who has focused her career on Flux-Cored Arc and Heavy Plate welding. She is an accomplished and talented employee who is inspiring others to consider a new and exciting career within the welding industry. This former beauty queen, salon owner and advertising graduate pivoted her career mid-life to take on new and exciting opportunities within the welding profession. 

Taking a cue from her son who decided at an early age to pursue a career in welding, spurred Stephanie to take steps to learn more about the industry. And from there, a new passion and career began.  Now working for Nippon Sanso Matheson in Outside Sales Support, Stephanie’s experience as an accomplished welder directly benefits our customers and suppliers. 

“It’s breaking norms down not by pushing them over, but by having and possessing the knowledge to earn the respect of those around you.” 
– Stephanie

Continuing her education at the Milwaukee Area Technical College in Welding Technology, her knowledge and experience are only continuing to grow. “I’m a very driven person,” Stephanie said. As an emerging leader in the welding industry, she continued, “It’s breaking norms down not by pushing them over, but by having and possessing the knowledge to earn the respect of those around you, as well as seeking those out who can assist and guide you in gaining that knowledge.”

Indeed, with a shortage of welders projected well into the future, this field is uniquely open to anyone willing to learn a new skill or consider a new occupation. Stephanie is also hopeful that future partnerships can be developed within schools across the country to help young people see the exciting possibilities available to them in the field of welding technology.

Passionate about the industry, as well as the future of Robotic Automation, Stephanie mentioned, “There are growth opportunities from welding positions, to set-up, to robotics and automation…Young students need to be exposed to this type of work to see how creative it can be, while being a part of something at the forefront of developing technologies.”

The future is bright for Stephanie and those who consider a career in welding technology and Nippon Sanso Matheson is your partner to help it become a reality.

How a Local High School Solved Their Wood Dust Problems

CHALLENGE:

Wood dust is a simple and obvious indoor air quality problem with an easy remedy. Minimally, wood dust is an eye and respiratory irritant. In the worst case, indoors, under certain conditions, wood dust is an explosion and fire hazard. In every case, wood dust is a cleanup problem. Wood dust was a chronic problem in this eastern Nebraska High School. The variety of common wood shop tools – saws, planers, routers – spew dust daily. Students and instructors needed a solution that was both effective and compliant with various regulations and standards, such as those put forth by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association).

SOLUTION:

The Nippon Sanso Matheson Clean Air team worked with this school to provide a solution that would solve this wood dust problem. For dust removal efficacy, the wood working lab needed to be equipped with point-of-use dust collection as well as inlets for the collection of ambient air. Air and dust collected indoors would then be routed – at high velocity – through high capacity ductwork to a filtration and dust collection system module located outdoors. HEPA filters remove particles as small as 0.3 micron, and the air is returned to the workspace. Damper gates at the inlet and the outlet of the outdoor module serve to prevent reverse flow of air, particles, fumes, fire, and smoke as might be caused by a wood dust explosion or fire. The collector used in this application was equipped with an isolation device, deflagration device, explosion vent, detect and extinguish, and detect and abort system. The collector and the ductwork designed in this system was created to meet NFPA regulations for wood dust application.

SYSTEM BENEFITS:

  • Filtration to particle size of 0.3 micron not only removes wood dust particles, but effectively cleans the air to a state that is “better than clean” (i.e., beyond simply the removal of the wood dust).
  • Return of the cleaned air back into the workspace saves energy by reducing heat loss in winter and heat accretion in summer.
  • Active dust removal reduces janitorial costs.
  • Promotes compliance with NFPA 652, NFPA 654, NFPA 68 and NFPA 69 by removing wood dust and by isolating system elements to prevent reverse flow of smoke and fumes in the event of a deflagration.
  • Filtration and residual dust collection components are located in the principal system component module outdoors for simplified system maintenance, cleaning, and dust cart-away.
