Before and after shots of a typical worker using the cleaning booth.

 

.....Designed for the mining industry, this unique air-powered booth provides a safe, effective and economical method to remove dust and other particulates from clothing without removing them from the person. It will clean tools, equipment, and other items on-site without having to transport them to a cleaning facility. It is NIOSH developed, MISHA approved and industry tested, and has been featured in the nationally circulated publications Rock & Mineral and Bulk and Powder. A former U.S. Bureau of mines report documented a 10-fold increase in worker dust exposure on a number of separate occasions from dusty work clothes and it was found that once clothes become contaminated, they are a continual source of dust until they are cleaned. Exposure to elevated levels of particulates increase the potential for developing debilitating and/or fatal lung diseases (including silicosis). Other methods available are very time-consuming, difficult to perform effectively, and cause workers to revert to less effective and unapproved techniques to clean their clothing. At under $10,000.00 this cleaning booth will quickly pay for itself in reduced labor costs and health benefits.

.....NIOSH research indicated that this booth cleaned clothes 10 times faster and removed approximately 50% more dust than the commonly used single air hose or vacuuming methods. Average cleaning time (inside the booth) was less than 20 seconds!!

Sealing the door with the fan in operation creates a negative pressure. Eye protection and respirator must be worn for protection at all times while in the booth.

Sturdy construction and easily portable.


There are 26 air nozzles (the top ones can be deflected to accommodate shorter workers) which expel 125 cubic ft. of compressed air at 30 psi in approx. 20 seconds. This results in a 4400 cfm exhaust air volume with a negative static pressure of 0.16-inch w.g. in a booth with a volume of 110 cubic ft.

It is completely non-invasive and provides step-in / step-out convenience. It is portable and easy to set up, and operates on 220 volts AC (single phase) and compressed air. No other product can compare to the fast and efficient 23 second MAX cycle time and particulate removal down to 10 microns.

Simple controls.
Easy-to-read gauges.
