Guardair Corp., a large domestic manufacturer of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliant safety air guns and pneumatic accessories, has developed the chip collector lid to capture metal chips and airborne oils generated when cleaning newly machined parts with compressed air.

When blowing off machined parts, dangerous metal chips and oils can disperse and settle on shop floors, requiring post-operation cleanup. By capturing these materials, the lid is designed to reduce clean-up costs, promotes shop cleanliness and improves worker safety. 

Made from lightweight, chemical-resistant polyethylene, the chip collector lid mounts on any 55-gallon drum, or 44- and 55-gallon trash barrel. Captured chips and oils are then stored for proper disposal.

The chip collector lid features a wide opening and adjustable, clear-view safety shield for inspection of parts while cleaning. With dual, removable parts bins and a top storage tray, the lid also features dual, hanging hooks for storage of safety air guns or other tools.
