INDuSTRY PRODuCTS stainless steel and equipped with conductive accessories to eliminate percussion arcing and static charge. In addition, the 118 EXP-series has undergone extensive testing and is CSA approved for use in Class I, Group D, and Class II, Groups E, F, and G environments. For use in environments where electricity is undesirable or unavailable, the pneumatic A15 EXP-series also consists of 2 separate models for dry or wet pick up. Like the 118 EXPs, both the A15 EXP and A15 EXPW are composed of stainless steel, and although testing agencies do not currently exist for air-operated machines, the pneumatic A15 EXP-series meets the requirements for us use in Class I, Group D and Class II, Groups E, F, and G environments. With no electrical components and few moving parts, these vacuums are easy to use and maintain. To further protect workers, the machines also come equipped with a conductive, 50-foot air supply hose. All vacuums in the new explosion-proof line feature: · Ergonomic design, including a wheeled collection container that is easy to remove, lift, carry, and empty. · Anti-static filter with large surface area in the dry models guarantee high filtration efficiency and prevents premature clogging. · Optional downstream HEPA/ ULPA filtration available on all units; Upstream HEPA available for dry models only. (HEPA filter retains 99.97% of particles, down to and including 0.3 microns. ULPA retains 99.999% down to and including 0.12 microns.) In response to the new line of explosion-proof vacuums, the company has also made available a fourpage, four-color, “Industrial Vacuums for Hazardous Locations” brochure that provides valuable information regarding hazardous locations and explosion prevention. The brochure features both machine and application images, as well as a list of explosive materials the machines are capable of collecting.

Users can select a language preference when logging on, or switch dynamically between languages without having to log off. The multilingual interface automatically accounts for language-specific variables, such as units of measurement, date and time format, and numeric formats, enabling accurate interpretation of information. “As we talk to customers, we find they are faced with more and more linguistically diverse workforces,” said Jerry Koch, product director of software and controls for FKI Logistex. “The BOSS multilingual interface is a very valuable tool for companies seeking increased DC efficiency and accuracy. The BOSS system was already innovative in its approach to system control, allowing all the necessary software to be integrated to provide peak efficiency. Now, with its multilingual capabilities, operations with multicultural workforces can enjoy the benefits of such integration.” The multilingual interface can be used with all new BOSS systems and can support a virtually unlimited number of translations simultaneously. BOSS can be implemented with required languages and easily reconfigured in the future to support additional languages as the workforce changes. In addition to US English, UK English, German, Spanish and French, BOSS also supports languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and others that require multibyte encoding of character sets.
