Once again we will be exhibiting at the Hillhead Quarry and Recycling exhibition in Buxton, Derbyshire
come and visit us at our stand C12
Meet the team and try out our machines for yourself.
The show runs from June 25th-27th.
We will be showcasing our industrial vacuum units and discussing our centralised vacuum systems
We were very pleased to handover this centralised vacuum system to a long standing 
Gypsum manufacturer. The total system included a 45kw vacuum unit and a filter hopper that discharges all the material into a sealed bulk bag, the system comprises over 350metres of pipework and 20 suction outlets over 4 levels. Perfect for keeping their dust levels down and and their health and safety levels up.
The DISAB vacuum system is the most powerful system ever used on site
In 2018, Singleton Birch aimed towards becoming the cleanest quarry in the world. The installation of a central vacuum system was one of the incentives to help reach their goal. Read the full story here.
DISAB will be exhibiting at the only event for UK’s maintenance & reliability industry; the Maintec show! Come and visit us in stand # 116.
Pretty much every industrial process creates some amount of dirt and much of that dirt spends some of its time in the air as dust before falling onto surfaces and floors making it necessary for regular housekeeping. This would all be fine if it weren’t for the fact that humans and machinery struggle to operate effectively in dusty environments. Machines clog, lose efficiency and invariably break and likewise human beings will inevitably suffer from a range of illnesses associated with dusty and dirty environments.
We’ve known about the importance of ensuring that we maintain clean industrial environments since the beginning of the industrial revolution. But incredibly, 21st century industry still utilises 19th century housekeeping techniques that do more damage than good.
Getting out brushes and sweeping waste materials or blowing dust with compressed air are not effective methods and actually make waste management worse.
Operators using brushes – end up sending dirt and pathogens into the air making it more likely that the dust becomes an airborne irritant to the workforce and in some cases this dust can become combustible material that can cause fires or explosions. Plus airborne dust that falls and accumulates in hard to reach places can become compacted over time making this dirt the perfect breeding ground for harmful bacteria.
Industrial Vacuums are a world away from a domestic hoover, but the principle is pretty much the same. By sucking material into a sealed unit or out of the site and into a zone where the material can be handled safely – airborne dust is minimised.
DISAB manufactures a wide range of machines that are suitable to work in pretty much every conceivable environment. Each machine is designed to remove material up to 50mm and down to minute particles and can also be fitted with high efficiency
particulate air (HEPA) filters to trap smaller 0.3 micron particles.
We also manufacture ATEX certified explosion proof vacuum units for those industries that handle substances that are more prone to explosions.
Regardless of the size of your operation an industrial vacuum offers far greater flexibility than traditional housekeeping methods. In large sites, centralised vacuum systems ensure that multiple operators can work simultaneously and in different areas of the site and over numerous levels.
Our portable vacuum units offer flexibility of another kind. Lightweight units such as the Skipvac and Compvac can be easily moved around a site with ease and their incredible power offers suction power over long distances.
“With 4 inlet valves around the ground floor and another 5 on the first storey, the cleaners who are scheduled to clean up after each of the two main 8-hour shifts only need to carry a suction hose to wherever they need it, attach it to a suitable valve, and carry on cleaning.
Because it’s easier as part of their scheduled routine, the cleaners are going around with the vacuum equipment more often and reaching all the places they couldn’t get to before with ordinary equipment. As a result, the plant is cleaner and significantly more dust-free on a daily basis.”
Good housekeeping really does make good business sense. By choosing to work with an industrial vacuum supplier you choose to reap the benefits of a safer, healthier and more productive workplace. Whomever you choose to work with – make sure the supplier provides a full site survey and provides your employees with training on how to use and maintain the vacuum system. Also make sure that they have a full and comprehensive servicing department.
DISAB UK provides all of this. We’ll carry out a free on-site audit, give you the best advice on what system would be most effective to meet your goals and we’ll provide you with all the support you’ll need to get the very best out of your machine.

Unlike portable vacuum systems, a central vacuum is a powerful fixed vacuum unit located in a specific part of the operation. Vacuum cleaning ports are placed strategically throughout, allowing flexible hoses to be connected at each port.
Our fixed vacuum systems can provide pipework from as little as 10 metres up to 3000 metres meaning that no matter how big your operation, every part can be cleaned quickly and efficiently.
Multiple operators can use the system at any time and in any part of the building and all dust is transported securely and safely outside the production area to a main collection point – minimising second hand airborne contamination.
Our central installations are extremely flexible: they can be used to clean production lines, floors, cable trays, pits, silos and much more.
Using a centralised vacuum system saves massive amounts of time. Quick access via the multiple inlet ports and the provision of powerful suction means operators can tackle difficult cleaning jobs quickly. Large deposits can be sucked up simultaneously from multiple locations. This leads to a significant reduction in downtime. In addition if the material is of value it can easily be recovered and reused.
Whatever you requirements our expert engineers can design & install bespoke systems to suit industry, environment and budgetary needs. Our systems are available with a wide range of extraction attachments enabling your team to access awkward catchment areas.
All DISAB central vacuum systems can be fitted with HEPA filters for absolute filtration of harmful dust and can also be provided ATEX compliant to handle toxic and hazardous materials where required.
We ensure the correct, quality materials and right design are used to guarantee all waste material remains fully enclosed within the system and is removed safely and efficiently, helping to fulfill Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) requirements.
Employees also benefit from moving to this type of system. Traditional manual housekeeping techniques are slow and often create harmful secondary dust. Using a fixed system creates a cleaner dust free workplace and creates a healthier environment for employees. Manual handling is also reduced, as operators no longer have to physically move waste material.
Because it’s easier as part of their scheduled routine, the cleaners are going around with the vacuum equipment more often and reaching all the places they couldn’t get to before with ordinary equipment. As a result, the plant is cleaner and significantly more dust-free on a daily basis.”
