Firebox Production Steps at Mana Sanat Paydar Company

The firebox is not only an essential tool for controlling fires in the early stages, but also complements other components of the fire extinguishing system. To ensure the proper functioning of this equipment during an incident, careful selection, proper installation, and the use of reputable brands are very important.

Firebox production is a precise, multi-stage industrial process that is carried out using technical knowledge, expert manpower, and advanced equipment. At Mana Sanat Paydar Company, these steps are carried out in a standardized and engineered manner as follows.

  1. Design stage: Review of the project’s environmental conditions and installation site conditions and design with Autocad software
  2. Selection of raw materials: Use of steel and stainless steel sheets with a thickness of 1 to 1.5 mm. It is possible to produce a firebox with steel sheets on a custom basis upon customer request. This product is mostly used in humid environments.
  3. Sheet cutting and bending stage: CNC laser cutting with millimeter accuracy. The cut sheets are bent with a CNC press brake machine, which improves the quality and strength of the product.
  4. Laser welding stage: In the welding stage, locks and handles, hinges and other metal accessories are attached to the body with high precision.
  5. After assembly, the surface of the box is sanded and polished by the technical team to remove any sharp edges or welding marks.
  6. Furnace electrostatic powder coating: In this method, powder paint is sprayed onto the metal surface and then baked in an oven at a temperature of about 200 degrees Celsius. This painting method provides high resistance to moisture, scratches, and rust.
  7. Quality control and final product testing: After production, each box is checked for dimensions, body strength, hinge and lock performance, paint quality, and fittings. Impact and moisture resistance tests are also performed. In some models, water pressure testing is also performed for hoses and fittings.
