Dust beater
July 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/grains, fillers (chalk) and stabilisers are combined.

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. It was taken on a week's trial and proved so successful that the company installed three more.

Hutchinson says that the JetBlack is both efficient and safe and that staff like it because it is easy to use and effective.
