ATEX cleaning

BVC has recently installed
two Central Vacuum
Cleaning Systems for use
within the ATEX Zone 22
classified production area
of a UK distillery. BVC
systems provided the most
cost effective method of
cleaning the multi-floor
processing facility with the
specified area classification.

The first system was
designed for a new processing
building handling dry materials. It
can be used by two operators using
standard 51mm BVC hoses and tools.

The 14 hose connection points are
interconnected with 210m
of graduated pipe
connected back to an
11.kW industrial vacuum
cleaning machine.

The second system,
again designed for the
parameters of the building
and process it is to serve, is
within a grain intake
facility. It is sized for one
operator using 51mm
BVC hoses and tools.
