Automotive Parts Manufacturer Central Vacuum System
American Vacuum has been supplying central vacuum cleaning systems to a large automotive parts manufacturer for over 15 years. Their current project requires an industrial central
vacuum system for a very large expansion. They purchased two identical vacuum systems that rotate operation on a daily basis. The facility runs 24/7. The system recovers fiberglass dust from printed circuit board drillers and routers. The drilling and routing machines cannot operate without a vacuum system because the fiberglass dust from the drilling/routing machine will contaminate the circuit boards and also ruin very expensive drill bits. The central vacuum system components are connected with a crossover tube system and controlled by gate valves, as mentioned they rotate service every 24 hours. Each of the industrial vacuum systems has a stand-alone cyclone separator that dumps directly into 55-gallon drums for disposal.
