The Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) presented their Nuclear Industry Day on September 10th and 11th at the Scarborough Convention Centre in Toronto, Canada. 

The two-day event brought nuclear procurement professionals, supply chain leaders, and industry executives from across Canada together to explore supply chain opportunities, strengthen nuclear culture, and discuss the priorities shaping the industry’s future. It also opened doors for suppliers to access new markets, build partnerships, and gain valuable insights from industry experts.

When it comes to industrial processing equipment such as mixers, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers, only specialized fabrication facilities can consistently deliver the integrity, reliability, and performance you need to keep your business running with peak efficiency and profitability. 

Many fabrication shops simply don’t have the infrastructure, certifications, or depth of expertise required for these critical applications.

The engineers at Arrow Engineered Products recognize the importance roles that process safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance play in the design, fabrication, and assembly of industrial heat exchangers, particularly in the energy and nuclear sectors. Every design choice, material selection, and fabrication detail directly impacts operational reliability and lifecycle performance, demanding a rigorous approach to achieving a high-quality product.

Industrial mixers have unique design and fabrication requirements to ensure their safe and efficient operation, especially when mixing harsh elements such as paint or chemicals for downstream processing. 

That’s because harsh materials are often abrasive, corrosive, sticky, sludgy, or have a varying consistency that can damage the mixer’s shaft, seals, paddles, and other critical components. This concern not only applies to the raw materials, but also to the reactive material after processing.

Over the past several years, the global supply chain has been in the spotlight due to public health crises, overseas military actions, market fluctuations, and changing government policies that continue to threaten its resiliency. 

At Arrow Engineered Products, we’ve implemented several strategies that help protect the metalworking supply chain and keep our teams delivering customer projects on time. We thought we would highlight three of these strategies to demonstrate our commitment to building our industry and preserving our customers’ competitiveness.

When people think of the metalworking process, they often imagine advanced computer-assisted design (CAD) drawings, metal being shaped into components, and completed industrial products rolling off the assembly line.

However, feasibility studies are a critical step in bringing metal products to market. They confirm our ability to execute work safely, cost-effectively, and in compliance with quality programs. These reviews also help us identify if changes to operations or investments in tooling, manpower, or technology are needed.

Arrow Engineered Products (AEP) is recognized in the OEM metal fabrication industry for providing high-quality integrated design, engineering, fabrication, and assembly solutions for a wide variety of industrial applications.

For example, our AEP Cambridge North production facility uses the Starvision LS-6230 gantry milling machine to help bring customer projects to life. This tool has several features designed to support our fabrication teams in delivering products with improved accuracy, precision, and quality.

Implementing robust quality programs is one of the most important ways our team delivers on our commitment to high-quality products and exceptional service, which form the foundation of our business philosophy. Arrow’s quality programs, including Arrow Engineered Products’ (AEP) recently awarded CSA Standard N285.0-23, comply with the demanding requirements of industry-specific codes, guidelines, and standards, as well as jurisdictional and client expectations. 

Congratulations to Lucas Lorentz, Quality Manager for Arrow Engineered Products, and his team for driving the N285 audit to a successful completion!
