Rotobrush International LLC opened a new training laboratory in the first quarter of 2007. The new lab, designed to mimic real rooms, offers hands-on stations with different scenarios found in the field. Stations include extended plenum, radial perimeter, flex duct, and service openings, and use both the Rotobrush aiR+ air duct cleaning system and Atlantic Engineering Ultralite II equipment. Students use the equipment in different scenarios and interact with instructors and other air duct cleaners from around the United States and other countries. Rotobrush staff instructors, who include nine Air Systems Cleaning Specialists (ASCS), lead students in the monthly certified training program.

In addition, training includes classroom participation on topics such as hvac systems, indoor air quality, microbial contamination, the air duct cleaning process, equipment and maintenance, and business planning and marketing. Rotobrush has a designated 3,600-sq.-ft. training facility near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. For more information: Visit www.rotobrush.com.
