Project Background

Since 2006 Allglass used manual techniques such as brooms, brushes and barrows to remove. This was a laborious task and whilst it worked for larger glass particles, the manual approach generated a lot of airborne dust particles.

Allglass has been working closely with the H&S Executive on the standards their sites needed to achieve in terms of the removal of both glass-based airborne dust and surface dust. Allglass soon recognised it was going to need a much more effective cleaning capability than its traditional manual approach.

Allglass acted on advice from the HSE and arranged a demo of, and then hired, a DISAB CompVac. Its vacuum power and capacity transformed the way they dealt with dust removal and thus exposure risks. Instead of sweeping and brushing, particles as fine as 10 microns up to 8mms were being sucked up with minimal effort and collected in the DISAB CompVac’s large internal hopper.

Product Overview

• High suction capabilities, with 16.5kw of vacuum power.
• Can pick up anything from fine dusts to debris up to 50mm in diameter.
• Fully enclosed suction system allows even hazardous dusts to be collected safely
• ATEX models available
• Easy to manoeuvre by forklift

WHY DISAB?

 CUT TIME AND SAVE MONEY

Waste removal is faster, easier and more efficient, less time is spent by operators cleaning and large capacity collection mean less time spent emptying too. So downtime is significantly reduced.

Large deposits can be sucked up quickly from virtually anywhere and safely disposed of, or recycled back into process. So, if recovered material is valuable, huge savings can be achieved.

Because our powerful vacuum technology removes fine particles from the atmosphere, there’s far less dust to get into the moving parts of your plant or damage bearings, which will mean greater reliability, less downtime, and a longer shelf life for your equipment.

 IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY

There’s no need for lengthy, back-breaking manual collection. Thanks to our fully enclosed systems and highly advanced filters, harmful dusts are instantly removed and safely contained, minimising the risk of dust exposure to your employees.

Project Background

As one of the world’s leading steel producers, Tata Steel is committed to high standards of safety and environmental protection. Its Hartlepool site covers an area equivalent to 50 football pitches, and the plant cleaning and housekeeping programme requires an eight hour shift every weekend, part of which has to deal with the large amount of waste from the submerged arc welding machines and operations in several separate locations.

Traditionally all this was carried out manually using brooms, shovels and barrows but it’s an inefficient way to sweep up and collect all the flux slag and granules, especially from within and around the submerged arc welding machines.

Tata’s production team previously tried various other cleaning machines, but found that these other units would block up and break down, and insufficient capacity meant they would spend more time emptying them than cleaning up.

Following a free demonstration it was clear that the DISAB SkipVac was exactly the sort of cleaning solution they’d been looking for.

The SkipVac allows the production crew to clean in awkward places such as around the arc welding machines, down the pits and around the cable trays and conveyor. The DISAB SkipVac’s suction power means an operative can, with the various extension pipes and cleaning heads, do a much better job of cleaning all of these areas.

Project Background

AE Hilton & Son produces animal feeds in the greenest way possible, and specialises in equine feeds because horses are particularly prone to respiratory risks.

Over time this dust builds up in all sorts of places around the feedstuffs areas, so keeping the premises and equipment clean is a constant part of the housekeeping regime.

Whilst AE Hilton & Son have used smaller suction equipment before, it was a very laborious process and the results were only adequate at best.

John Hilton who runs the company chose a free demonstration of the SkipVACs capabilities. Once he saw what it could do, it was an easy decision to hire a SkipVAC and give his premises a really good deep clean from top to bottom.

Project Background

Cory Environmental was keen to improve its general housekeeping practices at its recyclables plant in Wandsworth, London, and to meet and surpass Environmental Agency standards. Broom, brush and barrows were used to deal with dust and spillages creating greater airborne dust and causing the plant to stop whilst the dust was dealth with.

DISAB provided an on-site consultation and designed & installed a bespoke centralised vacuum system. Providing a flexible, reliable and effective solution that means an end to plant downtime and major savings in time and money and healthier working environment that meets European Standards.

Product Overview

Our powerful central vacuum systems can be linked to a variety of vacuum units and a range of discharge methods can be selected to suit individual operational requirements.

Our fixed centralised vacuum systems can provide pipework from as little as 10 metres up to 3000 metres, either fully fitted by our expert engineers, or as supply only for your own installation.
