Keeping your facility free of combustible dust is much easier said than done. Traditional plant maintenance methods like sweeping and blowing with compressed air only make the situation worse by spreading the combustible dust around and making it airborne. This actually increases the probability of a combustible dust explosion.
That is why specialized, industrial vacuums are now generally accepted as the best way to remove combustible dust and other explosive materials. However, in many cases, these vacuums – with electric motors and metal parts – can produce a dangerous spark. Simply put, when it comes to safe plant sanitation, not just any vacuum will do. Today’s businesses require energy-efficient and capable Dust Collection systems that comply with current OSHA, EPA & NFPA regulations.
