Quarrying
BagVac on and it’s ready to clean each floor and every surface.”
“On the crushing and screening plant, we set aside about three quarters of a day a week for plant maintenance which includes cleaning and housekeeping tasks, but on the hot asphalt plant we usually do the cleaning on a Saturday morning. All the material is collected in the IBC bag and then put back into the process, so there’s zero waste.”
SURPASSING EXPECTATIONS
Neil’s delighted with the BagVac, and so are his quarry employees, as he explains: “The DISAB BagVac’s more than lived up to all our expectations. As the key cleaning system on each plant, the BagVac ensures all the possible dust, debris and waste it can handle is removed safely and efficiently. The use of a plant vacuum system is clearly far more efficient than brooms and brushes. Everything goes into the collection bag, and from nozzle to bag it is a fully enclosed process.” Neil comments: “It’s far more popular with the employees as well, who no longer have to face the back breaking and very laborious
chore of doing this manually, and of course, they know they’re working in an environment that’s relatively dust-free and in which the risk of dust exposure is minimised.”
Neil sums up the bottom line benefits for Glendinning. “All this makes a difference to the external inspections as well. When BSI come to inspect our product quality, a clean and
dust free plant is a major factor in their audit. Processing plant that’s kept clean means quality end product for our customers. In what we all know is a very competitive marketplace, that kind of endorsement is priceless when it comes to winning and retaining business.” Operational detail and technical capability The DISAB BagVac is an electrically powered suction unit, mounted onto a rigid stand equipped with retractable legs for the removal or reclamation of spillages, waste material and general housekeeping, but on an industrial scale.
Whether you need to clean up or reclaim anything from fine dusts up to 50mm debris, this unit generates a high levels of vacuum so it can easily pull waste material over long distances, both horizontally and vertically, through flexible suction hoses. Well proven reliability in tough working environments, the Bagvac’s fully enclosed recovery system removes all debris and airborne dusts efficiently for easy disposal or recycling. n
