Paper & Pulp Housekeeping FAQ
Paper poses a health risk and an explosion risk when particles become airborne in combustible environments. Plus, code violations can be costly and life-threatening. Learn more about why a HafcoVac is the right fit for you.
Are HAFCOVAC's made for the paper and pulp industry?
Yes. Industrial vacuums are the most efficient tools to clean paper processing mills and equipment. They can safely store paper dust, shavings and cardboard debris free of electric motor burnout or shock.
Why is housekeeping necessary for the paper and pulp working industry?
Paper dust and other debris will always be present in the manufacturing process. If unkept, this dust can result in OSHA fines and health code violations. Worse, combustible dust can result in fires and explosions that cause a lot of damage.
Can HAFCOVAC's control combustible paper dust?
HafcoVac Explosion Proof ATEX EX Series Vacuums are non-explosive in and of themselves. They are safe for use as part of a combustible dust control program suitable for paper and many other flammable materials. They are OSHA and NFPA compliant.
Why is housekeeping regulated in the paper and pulp industry?
According to a Center for Public Integrity analysis cited by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, more than 450 accidents involving combustible dust have killed nearly 130 workers and injured another 800+ since 1980. These accidents were caused by a variety of dust sources including sugar, nylon fiber, coal, iron, plastic and paper.
Do I need a certified vacuum for paper applications?
Most likely, yes. Certified means approved for combustible materials. Paper is highly flammable and airborne posing increased risk for combustion.
The HafcoVac ATEX EX Series is our certified and most popular pneumatic vacuum to accommodate all paper materials. A pre-installed HEPA filter in every ATEX model prevents paper dust from becoming airborne during processes like shredding and recycling. The fully grounded unit is perfect to dispel static electricity buildup. The pre-installed S’HUSH Silencer reduces noise to 77dB.
