All industrial vacuum cleaning systems have three main components:
Each of these components has sub components:
There are two basic types of systems, Portable and Central.
Portable Industrial Vacuum Units are produced in volume for a fixed price. These units include all the three main components and a limited number of enhancements/options.
Used for housekeeping, picking up spills, for cleaning floors, walls, ceilings, pipes and beams. Can be used with pipe network(s) for small central systems for mezzanine(s), also around and/or over machines.
These machines are sold to pick up powders, lead dust, aluminum dust, steel shot, and sand, to name a few applications.
There are two models with three horsepower ranges each:
Both models are supplied with a starter including on/off push buttons. Extra storage holding capacity can be added with a Roll Forward Hopper or a Drum Top Hat Separator and Drum/Barrel. The equipment can be modified for a plastic garbage bag liner for easy dust disposal.
The Industrial Wet Pick-up Vacuum System is an industrial vacuum tank on wheels. Complete with exhauster, motor, silencer, filters etc all mounted on the tank. Typical use - cleaning out wet sumps.
These systems fill almost any need and can be located almost anywhere. A large number of options and accessories can be added to these systems to cover numerous applications and conditions. These systems can be as simple as portable industrial vacuum cleaner positioned in one place with or without added product holding capacity through to a complex system solving many needs and requirements.
Central Vacuum Systems consist of an exhauster, separator(s), pipe network, hoses and tools, all the necessary accessories, and controls. Mechanical and electrical installation can be arranged.
Central industrial vacuum systems may have any number of inlets, for example 50.
At the user's/customer's request the system is designed to handle any 5 inlets simultaneously. When further inlets are used simultaneously there will be NO damage to the system or equipment - just diminished service.
Products handled may be explosive, abrasive, corrosive, hygroscopic, sticky, wet and small to large particulate sizes, to be recycled or scrapped.
Pneutrans will install or arrange installation of a Central Vacuum Cleaning System.
Central industrial vacuum systems are used for all the purposes of the Portable Vacuums noted above PLUS many other functions such as handling explosive materials such as sugar, flour, starch etc. requiring rupture disks/ports, automatic bag filter cleaning systems, bin level sensors and controls, special discharge valve arrangements (to scrap or recycle product), handle a large number of inlets, large diameter hoses, large amounts of product and other special requirements.
Pneutrans has installed industrial vacuum cleaning systems to handle such items as fiberglass, gunpowder, steel shot, powders, welding flux, grain, candy, sand, aggregate, and coal, to name a few. They are also used in clean rooms to remove light dust.
Combination WET/DRY central vacuum systems are installed in hospitals.
The user/customer must provide a scaled or dimensioned drawings showing column lines, major pieces of equipment and obstructions.
NOTE: When an explosive dust such as sawdust, sugar, starch, etc the separator(s) MUST be placed within 600 mm (2 feet) of an outside wall or placed outside the wall. There must be nothing combustible within 8 m (25 feet) of that point.
Pneutrans will design the system(s) sparing the user/customer the tricks and traps of the system design. Thorne will provide the user with a quote and specifications. The system will be guaranteed for one year from first use. There is a fee for this service.
Pneutrans can supply powerful domestic central systems for homes, schools, animal hospitals and low cost requirements.
