Background
Introduced at a milled rice mill work site where brown rice is unpacked and loaded into a chute. The work area is in the back of the building with poor air circulation and hot caused by machine operation. Matters were made worse in the hot and humid summers. Spot coolers were used as a countermeasure, but a step away from the outlet of the cooler, they were useless and the exhaust port of the cooler just blew more hot air, so were not effective.
Circumstances
I saw COOLEX in the newspaper and checked the product on COOLEX's homepage. For sites where workability is limited, I felt it would work well and decided to purchase a COOLEX set immediately. We also purchased an optional hose balancer to keep the hose arranged.
Effectiveness
Workers said they felt cool even in summer. We ended up buying a set for each of the four employees.
