Air Control Industries Ltd

JetBlack® Safety is the branded entity of Air Control Industries, which has a proven track record in air movement engineering that goes as far back as the 1960s.

The firm not only designs and supplies industrial fans but also added value products which include bespoke Air Knife Drying Systems as well as the JetBlack Safety range of Personnel Dedusting Booths.

Based in Axminster, Devon (UK), the company also has a sister company in Windsor, Maine (USA) which was established in 2008, to support increasing demand in North America.

JetBlack Safety is a world leader in safe personnel dust removal systems, supplying and supporting a global audience directly and through an extensive distributor network.

Its innovative walkthrough booth range uses high volume, low-pressure air, to automatically dislodge, remove and extract dust and debris from clothing and PPE, thus reducing cross-contamination and health risks associated with dust exposure.

Research shows that dust is a significant health hazard to people working in industries such as construction, mining, fibre moulding, forestry and many others, as dust can contain known carcinogens and silica.

A recent HSE report found that 12,000 lung disease deaths each year are thought to be linked to past exposures to dust at work.

JetBlack Safety has won significant orders in the UK, EU and US. Clients include Tarmac, Hanson, Lafarge, among many others.
