Installations

Here you will see some of our recent work at the new Palazzo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nv. The management team with Taylor International, and the Facilities offices at the Venetian/Palazzo were extremely helpful in getting this job done. I cannot thank Mike Aziz enough with Taylor. With his assistance we were able to come up with a design, fabricate, powder coat and install everything in 48 Hrs! We had over 1000 man hours on this job! We had many guys work double and triple shifts! I was extremely proud of the effort put forward from our fabricators, painters, installers and supervisors. When all things were said and done I truly feel that this was some of our best work. I look forward to continued business with Taylor and the Venetian/Palazzo.

Automated Gate Operators

Great news! We have joined up with GTO INC. for all of our gate operator needs. GTO offers the best affordable residential/commercial gate operators in todays' market. AR IRON LLC has been certified as an Authorized Service Center, Installer, Distributor and Service Center. GTO offers many accessories from solar powered operators, keypads, intercom systems, safety beams, exit wands, and many more! Do you have an existing gate and are tired of getting out of your car to open it? Or maybe you are looking to add a little extra security? GTO gate operators can be used for sliding gates and swing gates. They can be used for chain link, wooden gates and ornamental iron gates. Feel free to give us a call for a quote. We look forward to servicing you with one of the best gate operators available today!

Check out these pictures of a single swing leaf with a GTO 3000xl gate operator. This customer has a HUGE truck and a couple of trailors. He wanted to have the availability of opening his gate without getting out of his vehicle every time he pulled out his trailor. You will notice that there is a intermediate rail at the bottom of the gate. This serves two purposes. One to keep the gate from sagging. The gate is over 14'! Second, the gate operator arm needs to be attched to a sturdy durable frame. In these situations we use only heavy wall (gauge) material. Don't settle for anything less!

This is an example of a 30' slider gate that we fabricated,
 powder coated and installed with a gate operator system.



We just completed another  two slide gate operators from GTO! Our customer the Mickelson family had a circular drive and wanted to have the functionality of entering one drive and exiting the other. They didn't have the availability of running power so we installed two large solar panels. They also wanted to be able to allow their landscaper to enter without having a remote so we installed a wireless keypad that is mounted to the outside masonry wall. Each gate leaf is over 20' with a tail. It has dual rollers, with "v" groove wheels for rolling on  the track. Each gate operates from a two button remote. Below you will see photos of the gates and a short video of our powder coating truck entering and exiting the property.

Here we have a GPSL 100 operator for a slider gate that is 20'x8'. Mr. Butler poured a concrete pad for the track which we provided made out of channel and angle. This application has 2 sets of guide rollers and two 4" v-grove wheels.  We installed a universal remote that can also control his garage doors! Also as a added convienience we installed a wireless keypad with a gooseneck. The wireless keypad can operate up to 500' from the receiver. Below you will see a few sample photos and a video of the gate. Any questions give us a call.




Automated Powder Coating!

What Is Powder Coating?

It Looks Like Paint But It Acts Like Armor.It's tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time. Powder coating is a superior finish that's found on hundreds of products you come in contact with each day. It makes products durable, attractive, and does not run.

How Does It Work?

Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the products to be coated.

The parts to be coated are electrically grounded, so that the charged particles adhere to them until melted and fused into a solid coating in a curing oven.

The result is an attractive, durable, high-quality finish. The powder coating process itself offers another advantage -- it is environmentally friendly...virtually pollution-free!

Unlike liquid paint, no solvents are used, so only negligible amounts of VOCs are released into the air. In addition, unused or oversprayed powder can be recovered, so any waste is minimal and can be disposed of easily and safely. "The Powder Coating Institute - For Media - Fast Facts About Powder Coating Retrieved October 9, 2008 http://www.powdercoating.org/media/fastfacts.htm

Our powder line is a fully automated conveyerized production line. We have an automated wash with reclaim drip tunnel. Large dry off and cure ovens. Our conveyer line allows us to run parts 20' long, 8' tall, and up to 2' wide. Our production line speed runs up to 10' per minute! Inside our "clean room" or powder coating booth we have 2 cyclone recovery systems. This allows us to reclaim the powder that is not collected on the part from the electrostatic application. By doing so it allows us to be more "lean" than other coaters. Our ovens run up to 450 degrees.

We also have the ability to batch spray. This means that parts that are larger that will not fit on our conveyor line can be hung on our rack that is 8' wide by 8' tall a up to 25' long. We can coat larger items like sand rails, UTV racks, spiral stairs and many more.


Below I have posted a video of our booth as well as pictures of our load area, wash and drip tunnel, cure oven, spray booth, batch racks, cyclone recoveries and our plant photo. If you have any questions regarding any of your powder coating needs feel free to contact me directly.
