Dustless drilling with Heller

The Problem with Silicosis

It is estimated that on average 600,000 Australians are exposed to Silica Dust each year, leaving approximately 1% of those exposed (6,000 people) with this deadly lung disease. The tragedy is that Crystalline Silica is a known 'workplace risk'.

Dust-free drilling

The team at ICCONS have introduced dust-free drilling to help ensure worksite safety! Their Heller Duster Expert vacuum drill bit enables dust-free drilling by removing the dust at the point of impact. When used with an M class vacuum 98% of the drill dust is immediately removed when produced at the tip of the drill. The Duster Expert is also perfect for use in indoor applications. Time savings and increased productivity are extra benefits when setting chemical anchors as there is no need to clean out the drill hole (up to 3 x faster hole preparation).

 

Features Work Safer: with growing concern of concrete and stone dust causing diseases such as Silicosis, The ICCONS SET-SAFE DE drastically reduces the exposure by eliminating dust created from drilling holes Work Faster: Drilling and hole cleaning in 1 step. This saves time and money, with the added benefit of reducing the clean-up of dust on the jobsite. Work Smarter: A drill bit that cleans as you go, reduces your health risk, increases anchor reliability and saves installation time.
