Alerton International has introduced the
SafetyBlu SB-450 blue light inspection kit,
featuring a portable, high-intensity bluelight
LED flashlight. Used in conjunction
with FluidSafe fluorescent additive, the SB-
450 kit locates hydraulic fluid leaks early
on. This, according to the company, can
help prevent injection injuries to mine workers,
and also reduces fluid consumption by
5% to 7% annually. When added to the
reservoirs of hydraulic machinery, FluidSafe
aids in the detection and medical removal of
hydraulic fluid in the event of an accidental
fluid injection that penetrates the skin.
When viewed under the SafetyBlu lamp’s
high-intensity blue light, the additive’s
bright green fluorescent glow pinpoints
the injection track quickly and accurately.
This makes it easy for medical personnel to
confirm whether a penetration actually
occurred, and if so, to precisely determine
the extent of the injury. The SafetyBlu flashlight
is also claimed to be very effective in
detecting fluid leaks in hydraulic system
hoses, fittings, seals and other components.
This allows small leaks to be repaired before
they lead to catastrophic failures. The lamp
features a rugged, anodized aluminum body
and is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery
providing 90 minutes of continuous
inspection between charges. The LED is
rated at a 100,000-hour service life. In
addition to the flashlight, the kit comes
complete with smart AC and DC chargers,
yellow fluorescence-enhancing glasses and
a belt holster. All components are packed in
a padded carrying case.
