PeakFit is a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved N95 air-purifying respirator that has been specifically engineered for personal comfort. Its contoured design and ample size allow easy breathing, which helps reduce worker fatigue — and ultimately improves compliance rates and reduces safety expenses. The respirator’s molded nose bridge fits most faces without requiring the user to pinch a metal nose piece to achieve a better fit. The internal nose cushion is made from soft, closed-cell foam.

The Tubejet CTR collector uses a pulse-jet dust collector to capture explosive aromatic-hydrocarbon resin. It has an air-to-cloth ratio of 3.9:1, and can process 4,000 ft3/min. Explosion relief vents, grounded filter bags, and an explosion suppression and isolation system located on the inlet ductwork help the collector meet current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 68 and 69 codes. Its all-welded construction permits standard vacuum/pressure operation ranging from ±20 in. w.g. to ±17 in. Hg., with designs available from full vacuum to ASME-coded vessels up to 50 psig.

StarLite Gumballs eyewear adds fun color options to the style, comfort and protective qualities of the original StarLite line of safety glasses. Each box features ten different, vibrantly colored temple choices, including: vanilla, black licorice, mocha brown, cotton candy, grape, orange, cherry red, blueberry, lemon yellow, and lime green. The lenses are clear and suitable for use in manufacturing, laboratories, medical offices, and many other indoor applications. The glasses comply with ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards, and block 99.9% of UV-A and UV-B rays.

The Polar Hood is specifically designed to be worn with earmuffs, which ensures optimal attenuation for workers exposed to cold climates who also require hearing protection. In typical earmuff-hood configurations, the hood is worn over the earmuffs, which compromises temperature protection, or under the earmuffs, which compromises hearing protection. The Polar Hood has patented side panels to eliminate gaps between the earcup and ear, keeping the wearer warm and allowing a proper acoustic seal.

Since one-size-fits-all usually leaves out a few people, the smaller StarLite-SM safety eyewear has been specially designed for smaller, narrower faces. This version is 10% smaller than the classic StarLite models, but still provides exceptional impact protection, durability, superior optical quality, and a fashionable design. Its scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses, which are available in clear, gray, clear anti-fog, and mirror finish, filter out more than 99.9% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays.

Operating at low noise levels, these workstations recirculate air without releasing expensive conditioned and/or heated air into the atmosphere. They have been specifically designed as small bench-mounted units with unrestricted access for operations that are difficult to perform under a conventional fume hood. To provide protection, the downward flow of air takes contamination away from the operator, and an alarm will sound when the airflow falls to an unacceptable level.

Pressure relief systems have the lowest pressure drop and the highest flow when the rupture disk with the lowest KR (a rating given by ASME) is used. The Pro+ rupture disk has earned the lowest currently registered KR rating for a reverse-buckling disk family, 0.29, making it one of the most effective pressure relief devices on the market and earning it a UD ASME authorized stamp. The disk’s 95% operating ratio guards against fatigue and premature disk rupture in applications with high operating-to-set ratios.

Valvcon ADC addressable actuators have RS-485 communications, and offer support diagnostics, local override control, and constant battery-charge monitoring. They provide quarter-turn operation and can meet torque requirements up to 3,000 in.-lb in a total package weight of only 31 lb. The RS-458 communication capability offers high data-transmission speeds of 35 Mbits/s for distances up to 10 m, and 100 kbits/s at 1,200 m., and they can be readily adapted to communicate cycle times, torque characteristics over time, and environmental operating temperatures.

The E-Z Tec XR-81 X-ray inspection system examines large cartons or cases. It is constructed of a durable stainless steel cabinet with a 15-in. color screen and dual-generator architecture. This design allows full case inspection without the risk of burn-through at the corners. It offers an auto-matic setup and external connectors, which may be networked as a structured query language (SQL) client with full remote support facilities. The system does not need frequent calibration and can be customized to meet specific application requirements.

  A chemical isolation option for the Accel MicroCel S2 centrifugal cleaning system improves the units’ zero-discharge capability and extends the life of mixed-bed deionizing resins. An open programming platform and superior interface, aided by the manufacturer’s preconfigured software, make this cleaning system option easy to set up.
