When the Dust Settles: Combustible Dust/Housekeeping Webinar!
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Our first webinar! Yesterday our Product Manager, Corry Luckenbach and Senior District Manager, Ray McCarthy presented a webinar on combustible dust and industrial vacuums. The online seminar (hosted by Occupational Health & Safety magazine) was a big hit, providing educational information regarding proper housekeeping and how to choose the right vacuum for your combustible dust challenges. If you couldn’t attend the live webinar, we hope you’ll check out the recorded version here http://ohsonline.com/webcasts/2009/09/a-guide-to-the-prevention-of-combustible-dust-hazards-through-the-use-of-proper-cleaning-equipment.aspx

Nilfisk CFM looks at the importance of utilizing explosion proof vacuums when cleaning up combustible dust in the workplace
When the Dust Settles: A Tutorial on Explosion-proof Vacuums
A comprehensive maintenance plan is a solid first step in preventing a combustible dust-related fire or explosion and can greatly minimize the tragic effects of a secondary blast. By letting dust accumulate on surfaces, facilities are literally adding fuel to the fire and efforts should be taken to insure that dust deposits greater than 1/32”, the thickness of a paperclip, are promptly removed, according to OSHA’s Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program. While mops and brooms have their place in industrial facilities, the process is time consuming and often creates dust clouds, adding to the risk. They also are very limited in what they can clean. A properly-equipped, HEPA-filtered industrial vacuum cleaner suitable for collecting combustible dust, can get the job done in half the time and be used to remove dust from machinery, floors, walls, and overhead pipes and vents.

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Even though the industrial sector is now very aware of the risks of combustible dust, we are learning firsthand that manufacturer’s still have ALOTof questions. (”Do I really need an explosion-proof vacuum? Does my machinery meet industry recommendations? Can an EXP still be equipped with a HEPA filter? etc.). While we can’t answer everything, (we’re experts on lots of things, but mostly industrial vacuums!), a new microsite, www.explosionproof-vacuum.com strives to answer combustible dust questions, at least as they relate to maintenance procedures and vacuums. Similar sites for the food and pharmaceutical industries are also available (I told you we’re experts on alot of things)! www.foodprocessingvacuum.com and www.pharmaceuticalvacuum.com. More about those later.
Are you at risk for a combustible dust explosion?
Friday, May 1st, 2009After decades of work-place explosions leading to hundreds of injuries and fatalities, combustible dust is finally a national headline that OSHA cannot ignore. While there are still no laws regarding combustible dust procedures, the agency has made quite a bit of headway in outlining recommendations for prevention and conducting random audits of “at-risk” facilities. By now, if you are a plant manager that handles dry bulk solids, you should be bulking up your maintenance plan which may include an industrial vacuum purchase–but did you know that using the wrong vacuum can actually add to the risk of a combustible dust explosion?
