How Bridgestone Mining Solutions made tyre repair workshops safer and more efficient
Bridgestone Mining Solutions Australia operates some of the busiest tyre repair workshops in the country, supporting mining operations with specialist services and maintenance for massive off‑road tyres. But with big tyres come big challenges—especially when it comes to keeping workshops clean and workers safe.
The Challenge
During tyre repair, technicians generate significant amounts of rubber debris, steel fragments, and fine dust—especially during surface preparation and final buffing. Traditionally, this material was brushed away by hand… but the temptation to use nearby compressed air stations for a quick clean‑down was always there.
And that’s a serious risk.
Compressed air may be great for blowing debris off tyres, but using it on clothing or skin can be dangerous. Bridgestone’s operations and safety teams wanted a purpose‑built solution that removed this temptation entirely—keeping their people safe while maintaining the fast-paced workflow of a modern repair shop.
The Solution
We introduced Bridgestone to the JetBlack Safety Portable Cleaning Station—an ideal fit for workshop environments.
This compact, plug‑and‑play unit delivers high‑volume, low‑pressure, blower-driven air that is completely safe for use on skin and clothing. The portable design means each technician can have their own unit right at their mobile workstation, with a long, flexible hose that reaches all areas of their coveralls.
No more relying on compressed air
No more safety risks
Just efficient, effective, and safe clean‑downs
