Why is the MBX Pneumatic drive unit so safe?
It is well known in the case of plaited brushes that wire bristles can break and accelerate to high speeds (output speeds normally at 10,000 rpm) and penetrate the skin like a projectile. Pieces that break off nylon grinding wheels can also cause burns to the skin. At a speed of just 3,500 rpm, acceleration forces are so small with the MBX Pneumatic drive unit that flying particles cannot cause injuries. The U-shaped bristles of the MBX Belt are individually anchored in a polyamide textile, which secures them against loss. Unlike grinding, no dust is created. Because any removed particles are relatively large and heavy, they fall directly to the ground and do not float in the air. Because no heat is created, no toxic fumes are created when removing sealing compounds. This helps protect the breathing passages. Of course, protective goggles are mandatory.
