It Is Not Worth The Risk
Employees Fight Back Against Respiratory Failure
Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution
can damage their health, but may not know that indoor air pollution can also
have significant effects. Tests on human exposure to air pollutants
may be two to five times, and on occasion more than 100 times higher than
outdoor levels.
These levels of indoor air pollutants are of
particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend as much as
90 percent of their time indoors. Over the past several decades, our
exposure to indoor air pollutants is believed to have increased due to a
variety of factors, including the construction of more tightly sealed
buildings, reduced ventilation rates to save energy, the use of synthetic
building materials and furnishing.
Many office buildings and plants have
significant air pollution sources. Some of these buildings may be
inadequately ventilated. For example, mechanical ventilation systems
may not be designed or operated to provide adequate amounts of outdoor air.
Finally, people generally have less control over the indoor environment then
they do their homes. As a result there has been an increase in the incidence
of reported health problems by employees.
Air Quality Engineering is here to change
things. They want to make sure that the health of the employee comes
first. Without them the planet couldn't operate and there would be
significant downtime and a loss of money.
The new MistBuster 500 mounting system makes it
easier than ever and less costly to avoid employee overexposure to metal
working fluids. NIOSH has identified a number of health risks
associated with overexposure to metal working fluids. These risks
include respiratory disorders such as asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, as well as
cancer of the skin and other organs.
With the new mounting system, you can easily use
the compact and lightweight MistBuster 500 to drastically reduce airborne
concentrations of metal working fluids in your workplace.
The new MistBuster 500 uses an innovative
application of proven technology to radically reduce air cleaner size as
well as minimizing purchase and operating costs without sacrificing
efficiency and performance. The mounting system allows the MistBuster
500 to be connected to a ducted application when direct cabinet mounting is
not feasible. This new mounting system thereby allows the facility to
provide optimum control of metal working fluid mists with a maximum of
installation flexibility.
Using less than two amps at 110 volts, the
MistBuster 500 is vibration free for more precise and repeatable machining.
Vibration from the old (and extremely noisy) centrifugal units was
unavoidable when residue accumulated on the impeller. With the new
MistBuster 500, the air is cleaned before reaching the impeller.
With the old centrifugal units, the impeller is
the air cleaner! A dirty, out of balance impeller creates vibration
which is translated to your CNC and your customers parts. This results
in expensive scrapping of parts that could otherwise have been in spec.
The New MistBuster 500 avoids these problems and
makes it easy to meet the stringent NIOSH criteria for metal working fluids
by using the most developments in air cleaning technology.
Other advantages include:
-
Clean Air - Eliminates the haze associated with
most metalworking operations
-
Safety - Reduces the risk of accidents caused by
slippery surfaces
-
Metalworking Fluid Savings - The MistBuster 500
collector collects and returns the metalworking fluid to your machine rather
than venting it to the atmosphere. It works on all coolant mists.
-
Cleaning Cost Savings - Uncontrolled
metalworking fluid mist will soil machinery, floors and ceilings
-
Quiet Operation - No screeching which is
characteristic of old centrifugal models
-
High Efficiency - Even on pressurized coolant
applications where centrifugals are ineffective
-
Negligible Maintenance - Unlike high maintenance
centrifugal units
-
Self-Cleaning - No filters to replace
Sized right for your equipment, the MistBuster
500 gives you unparalleled air cleaning performance and maximum cost
effectiveness. In addition, it is available with economical UPS
delivery.
Air Quality Engineering Inc. has been supplying
clean air to industry for over 25 years. They offer a complete line of
quality air cleaning equipment for a variety of applications.
