REDUCING HIGH-PRESSURE INJECTION INJURIES FOR MINERS

摘要

Australian Diversified Engineering (ADE) has created a grease pressure release device for Downer, reducing the risk of high-pressure injuries from lubricants. On a mine site, to keep the fleet running, service vehicles provide lubricants to all mobile equipment. One of the lubricants, grease, can be supplied at very high pressure, up to 5000 psi. A high-pressure injection injury often results in a serious medical emergency and can be common on mining sites, sometimes resulting in the amputation of limbs.
