Accumulating explosive dust on plant floors and equipment became a dangerous threat.
For assistance with their housekeeping needs and employee safety, this customer is now using dual American Vacuum Central Systems providing convenient hose connections throughout a multiple–building plant. Vacuum operators can reach floors, mezzanines, walls and equipment using the appropriate tool for each area. Two liquid separators are included for those spots that have water and fluids mixed with the dust.
