Personnel de-dusting
November 1st 2007

Safety, noise reduction and reduced cost are all factors that led to Trelleborg Sealing Solutions of Rotherham installing JetBlack personnel de-dusting units from Air Control Industries.

The company manufactures its Orkot tube and laminate bearings from polyester resin and fabric composites for the marine industry.

Although most dust generated is removed by extraction systems, employees still get some on their clothes and bodies, and some staff were using compressed airlines to remove the dust, even though they had been warned it was a dangerous practice.

After a successful free trial, Trelleborg bought four JetBlack units. These provide safe de-dusting, are said to be more than 12dB quieter than compressed air and cheaper to run.
