Podcast: Can’t-miss industrial products that launched in June

It uses ThermoPaks to keep core body temperatures at safe levels for hours and each vest comes with a spare set to extend cooling time when needed once the first set thaws. Each gel-packed cell works independently to distribute and extend cooling time. The thermal barrier ensures wearers don't get too cold. The vest weighs six-and-a-half pounds when fully hydrated with the weight evenly distributed across the body.

Constructed of Denier Nylon Diamond Ripstop material, the stain-resistant vests come in black, yellow, orange, and green.

Number three on our list is a new type of blower motor technology. Recently patented, Bison's RAM Reverse Air Movement Blower Motor invention uses a new design to overcome the challenges of traditional thru-flow air blower motors which are prone to overheating. The reverse airflow design has only the motor side exposed to ambient air intake for better cooling, even in near-sealed conditions, eliminating the need for thermal protection or bleed holes.

Motors with RAM operate at cooler temperatures, enhancing brush life, commutator performance, and reliability. The technology achieves a 6.5% reduction in decibel levels and a 48% reduction in Sones compared to traditional thru-flow motors. RAM technology also removes the need for a leak path at low flow conditions, leading to better product performance and reduced noise.

The motors support straight air exit, peripheral, and reverse airflow, providing many solutions applications from industrial fume evacuation, floor care for commercial and residential use, paint sprayers, aerospace air movement, surgical smoke evacuation, and hand dryers.

The technology can also reduce carbon dust emissions by applying V0-rated foam to surround the motor to improve performance and minimize noise.

If you're interested, Bison is able to take custom design requests for specific end-use requirements.
