New Electronic Air Flow Indicator From Flextraction

These Electronic Airflow Indicators are designed for use in a multitude of industrial including surface grinding, welding, product tipping and drum filling as well as food processing and all manufacturing applications, where dust and fumes are emitted. Importantly, not only do they visually show the operator if the airflow is correct by a green LED or if it is in-correct by a red LED, but as in addition an audible alarm gives the operator an extra indication if there is a fall in the air flow velocity.

Features include an indication of system performance from a single LED, constant monitoring allows the operator to be protected at all times, no external buttons or switches means that the unit cannot be interfered with, simple calibration and set up using the internal switches can be carried out by Flextraction Engineers, it is powered by 4 x AA batteries which give up to 2 years continuous operation and it is easy to install using quick release push fit connections supplied with the unit.

Lee Darton, General Manager (Products) at Flextraction said: “Section 106 of the Health and Safety Document – Controlling Airborne Contaminants at Work (HSG 258) states: ‘Employees need an airflow indicator at every hood because the operator needs some simple indication that the hood is working properly. It becomes critical when the operator has to adjust a damper to get adequate airflow. The airflow indicator must indicate simply and clearly when the airflow is adequate...’ These units are not only simple to install and economic to run, but they are a very cost effective means of ensuring that the user is protected from industrial fume and dust at all times.”
