Air blower technology to de-dust workers

Accumulating dust on clothing and equipment is a common problem in many large manufacturing and industrial environments and small to medium workshops, requiring quick and safe de-dusting and clean-down solutions. Despite knowing the dangers, many employers and employees use compressed air guns and nozzles to clean debris or clothes.

This practice can be extremely hazardous.

Why compressed air is dangerous

• Air pressured at just 12PSI can force an eye from its socket
• Compressed air accidentally blown into the mouth can rupture the lungs, stomach or intestines.
• Air can enter the navel, even through a layer of clothing, and inflate and rupture the intestines.
• Air can also enter the bloodstream, and death is possible if it makes its way to blood vessels in the brain
  • If an air pocket reaches the heart, it causes symptoms similar to a heart attack.
  • Upon reaching the brain, pockets of air may lead to a stroke.
• Direct contact with compressed air can lead to serious medical conditions and even death.
• Even safety nozzles which regulate pressure to 30 psi cannot be safely used to clean the human body.

Blow-off cleaning stations are a safer choice to remove dust from work clothes

Dynamic Engineering Australia delivers an innovative, cost effective, but most importantly, safe solution to remove dust and debris from your workers’ clothing and equipment - the JetBlack Safety Personnel Cleaning Stations and Booths.

Safe

• The JetBlack Safety personnel cleaning system poses no danger to operators because it has an air blower as the power source instead of compressed air. This has eliminated the dangers of high air pressure coming into direct contact with human skin.
• Is OSHA (USA) compliant as JetBlack Safety units are fitted with a chip guard, and operate at a low pressure.
• JetBlack Safety personnel cleaning systems are typically quieter than most compressed air nozzle arrangements. 

Innovative

• Available in a portable or wall-mounted package, JetBlack Safety personnel cleaning stations have been specifically designed to be installed into a factory or clean room environment where dust, dirt, fibres or water need to be effectively removed from personnel clothing, footwear, or from product during the manufacturing process.
• If more effective contaminant collection is required to ensure the safety of workers then a JetBlack Safety personnel cleaning booth will be more suitable. 

Cost effective

• Blower-powered air costs up to 90% less than the equivalent compressed air generation.

2. Workers are NOT taking the dust into the office or home with them
3. Less noise in your workshop
4. Easy and cheap installation
5. Safer work environment
