The air filters arrived three weeks late

The air filters arrived three weeks late

In our machine shop, we do a lot of shaving and grinding and sanding.

There are constant bits of metal in the air and we have to use a special air purifier to help with the problem.

We change the air filters on these air filtration units frequently. For the past three years, we have changed the air filters weekly. Since Covid19, we have been changing the filters twice each week. We are trying to keep all of our employees safe and still meet our business demands. We ordered a large shipment of air filters for this filtration system when the covid-19 virus began. We were steadily going through the filters and I realized we were starting to get low quickly. A few weeks ago, I tried to order more air filters and I found out that the shipment would be delayed. Everyone was out of stock and I called three different suppliers. Part of the problem was due to the fact that these air filters are made for an air filtration machine that works on metal shavings. I’m glad that we had three air filters on hand when I made the call, but I did not anticipate having to wait so long. Normally the shipment will arrive within a day or two, but we had to wait three weeks before the new air filters arrived. I’m certainly glad that I decided to order twice as many as I would need when I realized that the air filters were on a back order. We have plenty of stock to last several months or possibly a year.
