Eaton Announces the Launch of its Newest Filtration Safety Accessory

CLEVELAND ... Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced the introduction of its new patent pending Splash Guard safety accessory, which provides additional protection from liquid splash conditions in industrial environments. Engineered to fit on its FLOWLINE(TM) and FLOWLINE II(TM) single bag filter vessels, this new safety accessory is made from impact resistant, UV protective polymer making it ideal for harsh industrial environments. "The Splash Guard product reflects Eaton's commitment to providing products that help protect associates in industrial settings against unforeseen accidental events," said Rick Jacobs, president of Eaton's Filtration business. "We hope you will join with us in taking extra precautions in protecting employees." Designed with operator safety in mind, the Splash Guard is secured to the filter housing vessel lid. This design helps protect operators from unexpected pressurized spray and discharge, reduces operator exposure to potentially hazardous material, and provides additional eye and face protection. Available from Eaton's filtration distribution network, the Splash Guard will fit on new and existing Flowline vessels. It is easy to install and does not interfere with bag change outs.
