De-dusting system
August 1st 2008 Wavin, manufacturer of
plastic pipe and ducting,
has installed a safe,
efficient method for
personnel de-dusting at its
factory in Durham.
According to George
Hutchinson, production
manager, the dustiest area
is the mixing department
where plastics granules and
grains, fillers (chalk) and
stabilisers are combined. all
personnel in this area are
provided with overalls.
A blower powered
'JetBlack' from Air Control
Industries was installed to
de-dust personnel as they
move around the plant and
prior to going home.
The device was originally
taken on a week's trial and
proved so successful that
three more were installed.
Hutchinson says the
JetBlack is efficient and
safe and that staff like it
because it is easy to use
and effective.
Wall-mounted, it delivers
high volumes of air at low
pressure (less than 29ft3 of
air per minute at less than
2.5psi) which makes it safe
to use on bare skin. More articles from Air Control Industries Ltd: |
