Workstations

Pick and pack work stations have become an important component in the fulfillment workflow planning process. Ergonomic workstations help avoid injuries by ensuring both horizontal and vertical reach zones have been optimized. And smart manufacturers realize that a comfortable employee is sure to be more productive than one who isn’t.

Pick & Pack Workstations

Poor packing stations can cause bottlenecks in workflow. Customizable products improve ergonomics and organization.

Below Work Surface Accessories

When choosing workstations you should also consider if the workspace, the work being done, and your company’s particular type of workflow are best served by a group of workstations arranged in a particular configuration. Some companies offer modular workstations that are designed specifically to accommodate different configurations and thus different types of workflow.

There also are plenty of options for storage, both above and below the work surface. With careful planning, you will be able to get a workstation that addresses your storage needs exactly with little or no wasted space.

Ergonomic workstations are designed to eliminate excess bending, stretching, lifting, and steps of workers. This increases worker safety and decreases workplace injuries.

Fume Hoods

Fume hoods are vital containment systems for fumes, vapors, viruses, infectious diseases, particles, and odors. Not only do they shield workers from dangerous exposure, but they also protect the integrity of the work performed.

Here are some of the more common types of fume hoods:

Bench top – good for limited floor space, not free-standing
Floor mounted – free standing
Walk-in – large, able to accommodate technician & larger equipment
Biosafety cabinet – viral or infectious pathogens
Perchloric acid – specially designed steel, avoids perchlorate salt buildup
Radioisotope – prevents absorption of radioactive & corrosive chemicals
Ductless – collects & filters air internally via filters Snorkel – small, can be mounted on ceilings, walls or work surfaces

With the vigorous demands of corporate receiving areas, the receiving workstations contribute to a more organized and ergonomically friendly atmosphere. Promoting good ergonomics decreases absenteeism and reduces worker’s compensation claims.

Resin Work Surfaces

Epoxy Resin Worksurfaces are molded in large monolithic sections and are custom fabricated to your specification. Durcon’s unique molding process includes a special curing stage that ensures complete chemical reaction throughout the material to create a uniform work surface of the highest quality.

Durable epoxy work surfaces resist heat and chemicals. The impressive heat and chemical resistance of epoxy resin makes it the most popular choice for the rigors of a laboratory. The outstanding qualities of epoxy resin provide a safe, economical and long lasting work surface.

Extensive testing shows that epoxy resin work surfaces resist discoloration, blistering, and cracking — even under the harshest conditions. This extremely high chemical and heat resistance means that epoxy resin work surfaces will look like new after years of hard work. That’s because the rich color and chemical resistance permeates the entire surface consistently.

Solid epoxy resin work surfaces do not depend on surface coating for protection or use low cost core material. Plus the smooth, matte finish eliminates distracting glare and is easy to maintain.

Features include:

Appearance: Hard, smooth non-glare surface
Composition: Cellulose fiber, reinforced phenolic resin core with a polyurethane copolymer surface; available in multiple colors and patterns
Chemical Resistance: Good chemical resistance to wide range of acids, alkalies, and solvents
Applications: Use wherever a high degree of chemical resistance is required (not recommended for fume hood work surfaces)
