Nilfisk cleanroom vacuum can simultaneously collect wet and dry debris

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

A combination of efficient design and powerful suction, our Nilfisk VT60CR is a cleanroom vacuum that simultaneously picks up wet and dry debris without special adapters or filter switching. It is ideal for cleanroom applications across various industries such as semiconductor, food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology. 

The 15-gallon VT60CR contains critical cleanroom features, such as a unique four-stage filtration system, that allows it to meet cleanroom standards up to and including Class 10.  The water-, rot-, mildew- and corrosion-resistant main filter captures particles down to 1 micron and is covered by an exclusive splash guard to protect against excessive moisture and further extend the life of the HEPA filter. For added protection in the cleanroom environment, the optional ULPA exhaust filter prevents toxic particles from becoming airborne. 

Other features and benefits include: 

  • Multiple collection and disposal options,including a polyliner or 5-gallon disposable pail for bulk nuisance or hazardous material.
  • Detachable trolley features sturdy polyethylene construction and large, smooth wheels for easy decontamination and added maneuverability.
  • Pliable rubber inlet tube is designed to relieve caking and clogging caused by the collection of damp or sticky material.

When life gives you lemons…

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

Hot, sunny, humid days mean one thing here at the Nilfisk Industrial Vacuums office….LEMON DAYS!   2011 will mark the 4th year we’ve held this annual event, a 2-day fundraiser in support of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). To us, ALSF is a local charity with a worldwide

reach. It was started by 4 year old Alex Scott, a cancer patient who wanted to raise funds to help her doctors find a cure for her cancer.  She decided on a lemonade stand in her front yard, and boy did she take the phrase, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” to a whole new level. That first year, she raised $2,000.

While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. News spread of the remarkable sick child dedicated to helping other sick children. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the proceeds to Alex and her cause. 

In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8. At the time of her death, her efforts helped raise over $1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family – including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey – and supporters around the world, are committed to continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. To date, the foundation has raised over $40 million, used towards cancer research, treatment, and a travel fund for those who have to travel to receive care.

Inspiring, huh? 

This year, Nilfisk’s Lemon Days will be held Wednesday, June 8th and Thursday, June 9th from 7:30am-1:30pm. The event will feature a lemonade stand in our company’s front lawn, filled with lemonade, lemon treats, and even a raffle to win a free Nilfisk GD10 Back Vacuum. The lemonade stand is open to the public, and we hope our new neighbors stop by for a refreshing treat and to tour our new headquarters here in Morgantown, PA. In addition, our employees will be treated to a kick-off BBQ and a silent auction. 100% of proceeds will be matched by our company and donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation!

For more information on Alex Scott and her beautiful legacy, visit www.AlexsLemonade.org. If you’d like to make a donation and help us find a cure, one cup at a time, please visit Nilfisk’s online donation page: http://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/73180

Meet our new and improved Nilfisk SS Mercury Vacuum

Friday, April 8th, 2011

SSMercIntroducing our new and improved SS Mercury Vacuum, a precision-engineered instrument designed expressly for the capture of inorganic mercury spills and the pickup of mercury compound dust. This stainless steel vacuum cleaner meets OSHA standards for inorganic mercury and is ideally suited for research labs, hospitals, instrument and switch manufacturers, or anywhere that requires a small amount of spill collection.

Other stages of filtration include a disposable bag and internal HEPA filter.  A reusable GORE-TEXâ collection bag is available to collect mercury for reuse or reprocessing.  The SS Mercury can also be equipped with an optional HEPA or ULPA exhaust filter for the recovery of hazardous or toxic dust in a controlled environment. 

The Nilfisk SS Mercury Vacuum comes equipped with a smooth-lined Tygonâ hose that reduces mercury droplet residue, motor clamps for added security by discouraging unauthorized disassembly, and a heavy-duty trolley for stability. Want more information? Shoot us an email to questions@nilfisk.com.

Combustible Dust Preventative Maintenance is a Serious Job that Requires a Serious Solution

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) continues to have its sights set on combustible dust, once again naming it a high priority for the new year. As a result, industrial manufacturers are stepping up their maintenance plans to remove hazardous dust accumulations. In high-risk facilities, certified explosion-proof vacuum cleaners are required to safely collect combustible dust; our Nilfisk CFM CD 3507 EXP is an explosion-proof vacuum ideal for larger combustible dust jobs, including process-integration to collect dust at the source or as part of a central vacuum system used throughout the plant. 

Nilfisk CD3507EXPLike all our EXP vacuums, the Nilfisk CFM CD 3507 EXP is CSA-approved for use in Class I, Group D and Class II, Groups E, F, and G environments. Constructed of non-sparking stainless steel, the vacuum features an explosion-proof regenerative blower with a three-phase TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) induction motor with few moving parts and long service life. Other features include:

  • Antistatic filter with large surface area guarantees high filtration efficiency and prevents premature clogging.
  •  Available with manual or automatic filter cleaning system to easily clean the main filter, without opening up the vacuum. This not only maintains vacuum suction performance, but also improves worker productivity.
  • Drop out wheeled collection container for easy disposal of collected materials.
  •  Optional HEPA filtration available to collect 99.97% of particles, down to and including 0.3 microns. 

In addition, the Nilfisk CFM CD 3507 EXP is available with a wide range of non-sparking, antistatic accessories to clean hard-to-reach areas including overhead pipes, walls, and machinery.
