Flextraction is offering to visit companies with LEV systems to give them a free assessment and advice on how they can meet the HSE recommendations. Most indicators are simple gauges that show if airflow is adequate or not and should be used in conjunction with good operator practice.
In addition to the simpler airflow indicators, Flextraction will introduce in the near future an electronic airflow monitoring indicator, which not only visually shows the operator if the air flow is correct, but also has an additional audible alarm to warn of a fall in the air velocity. The indicator is small in size and easy to install on the hood or at an LEV point on the extraction hose, says the company. Flextraction will calibrate the devices, which are battery powered, on installation.
Lee Darton, Flextraction’s sales manager, said: ‘Airflow monitoring devices are the most simple and economic way of monitoring the efficiency of LEV systems. They are easily retrofitted to existing hoods or at a point where the operator can see them. It is also important that the operator moves the hood to within the correct working zone.’
