Many others enjoy our support services.A Necessary StepDust and dirt removal required upon service completion.
Dust causes heat insulation and damage to electrical circuitry
Dust “grabs” components and circuitry. Technician uses Disposable Compressed Air to remove dust. Dust removal with compressed air only 80% effective.
Problem with ProcessTechnician discards empty can into garbage.104 Cans are used by each tech every year.104 Cans X 90 Tech = 9,360 Cans9,360 cans sent to landfill by our company.Aluminum decomposition time = 200 to                    500 years (Lawhorn 2008).
Problem with Process (Cont’d)Compressed air products contain harmful chemicals and are not accepted by most recycling centers.
An Alternative to Self-DestructionWD-40 Turbo Air BlowerRe-chargeable and re-usable air powered cleaning systemCapable of 30 MPH continuous blast of air.Sold with delicate brush attachment and concentrated blast nozzle.Three-Year Product Guarantee.
Our Financial ImpactsCurrent Supply CostsEach tech uses 104 cans of air. (Per Yr.)90 techs x 104 cans (Per Yr.) = 9,360 Cans (per year)Average cost per can = $6.65 Each9,360 Cans X $6.65 = $62,244 Per Year (Compressed Air Supply Cost)Three Year Supply Cost = $186,732
