At American Vacuum Company, we design and manufacture industrial central vacuum systems tailored to meet the specific needs of each facility. These systems are engineered for continuous, high-performance operation and can support anywhere from 1 to 15+ operators simultaneously.
An industrial central vacuum system is a stationary unit connected to a network of fixed piping, allowing operators to collect dust, debris, and spills from multiple points across a facility. This improves air quality, safety, and overall operational efficiency.
Primary Uses
The main purpose of an industrial central vacuum system is to:
- Control fugitive dust (dust escaping into the air during production)
- Remove large spills or piles from floors and equipment areas
- Maintain OSHA and NFPA compliance for hazardous and combustible materials
- Improve workplace cleanliness and safety
Central vacuum units are typically installed in a centralized location and connected to a tube manifold system running throughout the work area.
Custom-Built Systems
We design single-operator and multi-operator systems customized to your:
- Industry type and operating environment
- Material type (including explosive or hazardous dust)
- Number of simultaneous operators
- Hose diameter and cleaning tools required
- Volume of material collected in any given period of time
No two facilities are the same. A custom-designed vacuum system ensures maximum performance, compliance, and safety for your unique application.
Industrial Central Vacuum System Design Process
Information Gathering
- Identify plant type and daily operations
- Determine material type and whether it is explosive or hazardous
- Establish number of simultaneous operators
- Select required hose diameter and cleaning attachments
- Measure expected volume of material to collect per shift
- Identify housekeeping system needs
System Design
- Configure vacuum power, filtration, and airflow based on requirements
- Ensure compliance with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) guidelines
Installation Planning
- Determine location for vacuum unit (indoor or outdoor)
- Plan fixed piping and electrical connections
Key Features
- Low cost of ownership with minimal maintenance requirements
- NFPA-compliant for combustible dust control
- OSHA-compliant for silica and carcinogenic material handling
- Indoor or outdoor installation options
- Continuous 24/7 operation capability
- Automatic waste discharge into facility containers
- Handles a wide variety of materials, including hazardous substances
- Can be installed outside clean rooms or away from hazardous zones
Benefits
- Reduced energy and labor costs through centralized cleaning
- Less downtime due to lower maintenance requirements
- Improved workplace safety by removing hazardous dust and debris
- Optimized workflow with strategically placed collection points
