Plant-Tours.com Helps Black Hills Bentonite Deliver Clear, Safe, and Impactful Plant Tours
Since 1947, Black Hills Bentonite has built a reputation as a leading producer of high-quality Wyoming sodium bentonite for a wide range of industrial applications. With multiple mining and processing sites across Wyoming, the company regularly hosts clients, industry partners, and regulatory personnel for on-site tours to showcase its advanced processes and unwavering commitment to quality and environmental stewardship.
As their operations grew, so did the complexity of their tours—many of which took place outdoors, near heavy machinery, or in loud processing facilities. Communicating effectively in these high-noise environments had become a major challenge.
What was the problem?
Black Hills Bentonite needed a solution that could:
-
Ensure all tour participants could clearly hear presenters over the noise of equipment and natural elements.
-
Protect visitors’ hearing during on-site presentations.
-
Maintain a professional and engaging tour experience, even in rugged field environments.
Despite using traditional methods—like shouting or gathering in quiet zones—the company struggled with engagement and consistency. Important details were often lost, leading to frustration and reduced impact during key customer or partner visits.
What was the solution?
After consulting with Plant-Tours, Black Hills Bentonite selected the One-Way Tour Guide System along with the PT-200 High Noise Headphones and Headsets.
What Made the Difference:
-
Crystal Clear Audio: Tour guides can now speak in a natural tone, even around drilling rigs or conveyor systems, with every word heard loud and clear by guests.
-
Hearing Protection: The PT-200 units double as hearing protection, ensuring that guests are not only informed, but also safe from surrounding industrial noise.
-
Mobility & Comfort: Lightweight, easy-to-use headsets allow guests to move freely through mining areas without missing a beat.
-
Professional Presentation: The system helps Black Hills Bentonite deliver a more polished, organized tour experience that leaves a strong impression on visitors.
What was the result?
Since implementing the Plant-Tours.com system, Black Hills Bentonite has seen a significant improvement in the quality and effectiveness of its tours:
-
✅ Improved communication across all areas of the site
-
✅ Stronger visitor engagement and satisfaction
-
✅ Better safety compliance with integrated hearing protection
-
✅ Fewer interruptions and tour delays due to environmental noise
