We’re thrilled to have Evan Crabtree from Hoffman Hydronics and Erik Roethlinger joining us. Evan’s journey from NC State’s chemical engineering program to becoming a pivotal figure in the HVAC industry is inspiring. Erik adds a humorous touch with his deep expertise in hydronics supported by an early career in music, making this episode both educational and entertaining.
We take you behind the scenes at Pump'nFlo, where Evan and Erik share the nitty-gritty details of creating prefabricated pump skids. Whether projects arrive as specified plans or design-build requests, the company’s decades-long experience ensures they handle everything from basic replacements to complex systems with welded connections. A spotlight on the increasing demand for mobile skids, especially for military use, and the trend of incorporating HDPE pipes adds more layers to the conversation. The balance between cost and serviceability, especially when dealing with commercial applications, offers valuable insights for anyone in the industry.
Our final chapter casts a global perspective on Pump'nFlo's impressive reach, from the USA to Mexico and beyond. We recall some of their unique projects, like a hot oil skid and custom-fabricated stainless steel buffer tanks. The episode wraps up with a lively discussion on missed opportunities and the motivational posters that brighten our workspaces.
