Garrison Minerals | Industrial Mineral Processing / Wastewater Treatment

The Challenge

Garrison Minerals needed two industrial control panels for a wastewater treatment system. A first-time panel designer faced a critical obstacle: expensive integrator quotes created paralysis, while DIY design felt impossible without expertise. The project had stalled for months until they found an alternative path.

Panel Specifications (2 Identical Units)

• Input:
  480V 3-phase industrial power

• Output:
  Multi-voltage control distribution

• Safety subsystems:
  Redundant contactors, safety relay, hardwired e-stop

• Environmental rating:
  Harsh weather and outdoor rated for continuous operation

• Power management:
  Battery backup for failsafe shutdown

• Control systems:
  Wireless control integration, built-in HMI, hardwired start/stop buttons

• Actuators:
  Dual VFDs (pump + motor control)

• Valve actuation:
  12 solenoid valves per panel

• Temperature management:
  Internal temperature control and monitoring

How Blitzpanel Helped

Mike designed both panels in our software with comprehensive support from our engineering team, ensuring every decision met safety and compliance standards. We validated the design for harsh industrial environments, then manufactured, assembled, and tested both units in a single week. Total timeline: idea to shipment in under 14 days.

The Results

• Fast deployment
  14 days from concept to two fully operational industrial panels

• Complexity mastered
  Handled 480V distribution, redundant safety systems, temperature monitoring, VFD coordination

• Reliability

• Outdoor-rated system ready for harsh conditions without field modifications

• Cost
  Fraction of traditional integrator quotes while maintaining industrial-grade quality
