Central Vacuum Cleaner Systems

We design, build, install and service central vacuum systems for industrial purposes. If a system is destined to handle flammable or explosive dusts, we ensure selection and implementation of adequate protection systems as well as preparing Risk Explosion Assessment Studies or Explosion Protection Documents.

Scope of works performed – central vacuum systems

  • preparing concepts and designs for all works
  • fabricating the central vacuum and key elements of the system
  • developing and implementing control systems
  • assembly, start-up and service of the systems
  • developing concepts and implementing safeguards limiting the risk and effect of explosion
  • working out explosion risk assessments and/or explosion protection documents

 

Stationary and mobile central vacuum systems

We deliver both stationary and mobile central vacuum systems. As regards the mobile systems, our project implementation scope includes travelling suction and separation units belonging to the class of high-power central vacuum cleaners. Vacuum cleaners are often used for loading and transport of loose, dry and explosive materials. The dust depositing on floors, service platforms, steel structures or process line equipment in the facility is removed by connecting a mobile (travelling) unit to a pipework at the sites specially adjusted for the purpose.

Central vacuum systems and explosion safety – ATEX

As it has been said above, one of major tasks of central vacuum systems is limitation of the risk of secondary explosions through removal of the so called deposited dusts from the working area. This solution on one hand increases the explosion and fire safety of the plant and, on the other hand, allows to limit the costs related to adjusting the process system to ATEX directive requirements (central vacuum systems allow to limit the explosion hazard area and thereby, to apply less expensive equipment with a lower ATEX certificate).

At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that in case of flammable and explosive dusts, the central vacuum system must fulfil requirements of the ATEX directive, i.e. to have safeguards limiting the risk of explosions inside the plant and effects of the same.

Why apply central vacuum systems?

Industrial central vacuum systems are applied for removing deposited dust from floors, flat surfaces and structures of machines and factory shops. It is aimed at maintaining working areas clean and thereby protecting workers, machinery and equipment against adverse effects of dust, including the risk of secondary explosions (in case of flammable dusts) and effects of such explosions.

Major tasks fulfilled by central vacuum systems: 

  • protection of workers’ health and lives against harmful effects of dusts
  • protection of machinery and equipment against damage caused by dust interference
  • protection of systems and workers
