States Postal Service awards contract to Siemens Dematic for new ventilation and filtration system

Siemens Dematic announced today the United States Postal Service has awarded the company an $89.9M contract to design, manufacture and install Ventilation and Filtration Systems on their letter sorting machines. The deployment of the new system in 280 postal facilities nationwide is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2004.

The VFS is designed to reduce workers' exposure to potentially hazardous airborne particulates on in-bound mail-processing operations. During mail processing, the system automatically pulls air through a series of filters and effectively captures and contains 99.97% of contaminants. The new system has undergone extensive efficiency testing by the National Institute of Safety and Health.

The VFS is part of a larger, on-going USPS program to minimize health threats to employees and the public should events similar to the 2001 anthrax attacks occur in the future.
