Performance under pressure
Australian Pumps has expanded its range of “Aussie Safe Operator” personal protection equipment with a range of Aussie Jet-Stop boots for use with high pressure blasters up to 500 Bar (7,300 psi).
Hamish Lorenz from Aussie Pumps said: “Operators have been using steel toe-caps gum boots until now. Toes are protected however the high pressure water jets can slice open a rubber boot.
“Water sprayed under pressure penetrates flesh and can carry dangerous bacterial or poisons deep into the tissue. This can result in horrible infections leading to amputation or even death.”
Made from vulcanised rubber, the Aussie Jet-Stop boots provide safe, waterproof comfort for the operator, and the soles offer impressive grip to reduce any risk of slipping. For maximum user protection the boots come with steel toecaps and steel inserts in the sole to prevent puncturing by sharp objects.
