As you can imagine, our work generates a huge amount of dust! We always ensure that the health and safety of our staff comes before anything else. For this reason, we recently upgraded from portable vacuums in our workshop to a Central On-Tool Extraction System by BEAM.
Expertly designed by BEAM engineers, this system provides powerful extraction at every workstation. It's also energy-efficient as we can adjust the power consumption based on the number of users, providing cost-effective performance. It has been a major improvement and we're delighted with the results!
“The BEAM centralised on-tool vacuum system has been a major improvement in dust extraction, which contributes to a healthier work environment for our employees. Thanks to the team at BEAM for their expert advice and professional workmanship at every stage of the installation.”
BEAM engineers visited the site and designed a system to suit the dedicated 1000m2 finishing area. The equipment consists of a 22 kW industrial centralised vacuum unit complete with 300m ducting to provide on-tool extraction from DA sanding tools, power hand tools and chop saws throughout the building. Each workstation is provided with a vacuum inlet and connecting hose to enable convenient connection to the built-in dust extraction.
The system power consumption varies according to the number of simultaneous users plugged in, thereby delivering a powerful and energy-efficient dust extraction solution throughout the factory.
Local BEAM Approved installer Alan Garland carried out the installation throughout the factory without disturbing production.
