Managing Fine Powder Dust in Powder Coating Applications
Posted on Thursday, April 9, 2015
When considering an industrial vacuum cleaner, potential flammability issues must be addressed when the application requires the sweeping of fine powder coating residue from the floor, lights, booth walls, or other shop areas. Typical “shop type” vacuums can pose a static electric shock to workers, reducing productivity. VAC-U-MAX offers the industry’s only written static control guarantee, eliminating any shock, fire, or explosion hazard associated with electric or engine driven industrial vacuum cleaning units.
The VAC-U-MAX Pulse-Jet Filter Industrial Vacuum Cleaner is specifically designed for applications such as powder coating dust maintenance. Models 40008, 40012, and 40013, are the first-line offerings for Class II, Division 2 environments. These Venturi compressed-air powered vacuums meet NFPA 77 requirements for grounding and bonding, meeting the definition of an “intrinsically-safe system”.
VAC-U-MAX air-powered vacuums do not use electricity and do not generate heat from operation. Units are a “system” and include the vacuum cover, drum, dolly, vacuum hose, cleaning tools, compressed air hose with quick-disconnect fittings, and polybag drum liners. No components are supplied by the customer, offering a suitable-for-service certification in a Class II, Division 2 environment. To further reduce any sparking danger, VAC-U-MAX incorporates static-conductive filters, rated 99.9% efficient at one micron, virtually eliminating any fine particle discharge from the vacuum's exhaust back into the work area, creating a healthful and productive breathing environment in the workplace.
