When you are exposed to an industry where combustible dust is a commons sight, there are greater risks for an explosion to happen. This can be eliminated with the use of explosion proof vacuum cleaners. Vacuums that are OSHA compliant should be a consideration when choosing one which involves health and safety.
Options Available
Explosion proof vacuum cleaners have to be created from the ground up to hinder any combustible dust explosion. Additionally, they should be certified by the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL), the only authority recognized to certify vacuum cleaners. Knowing this can be helpful in making an important decision especially when there are health risks and safety at hand.
Explosion proof vacuum cleaners should also be manufactured with highly durable construction that can add to its service life. An example of this is a vacuum with a carbon-impregnated compression cast composite housing. This type of housing can make a vacuum durable enough to serve for a long, long time. Carbon impregnated vacuum housing is also chemically neutral, making it static dissipating to eliminate any static discharges.
Additional Benefits
Additionally, quality explosion proof vacuum cleaners should have an effective filtering system. One with a MicroClean filtration system can prevent clogs and eliminate expensive filter replacements that often come with such vacuums. Optional HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) should also come supplementary to the main filtrate system.
Applications
These vacuums may offer significant value for a variety of applications, including situations involving plastic dust and pellets, text, rubber and paint, general housekeeping, coal dust, wood dust, fine powder, flour, talc, graphite, grain and more.
Choosing a Heavy Duty Vacuum Provider
When looking for a quality vacuum, it is also important to consider the length of experience the company has with industrial application sales. Knowing this can guarantee the safety and efficiency of your vacuum. Vacuums that are entirely made in the USA and offer a unique industry design can be beneficial as well.
A company with experience and an extensive array of explosion proof vacuums can offer assistance in determining the most appropriate heavy duty vacuum option to meet your cleaning and workplace safety requirements.
