The problem of workers using
compressed air to clean their overalls
has been eliminated at the Whitwell
Works of Steetley Dolomite thanks to
the installation of a blower powered
'JetBlack' personnel cleaning unit
from Air Control Industries (ACI).
"Everyone is really pleased with the ACI JetBlack," said John Collins, Steetley Dolomite's senior electro technician. "It cleans down effectively and is safe. It eliminates all the health hazard risks present when using compressed air. By providing the JetBlack as an alternative we have broken the bad practice of using compressed air for cleaning down." The blower powered system delivers high volumes of air at low pressure that can even be applied directly to exposed skin.
