Central vacuum cleaning/bulk removal system

To maintain and manage a clean environment where conventional vacuum cleaners were not a suitable solution, BVC has handed over a central vacuum cleaning/bulk removal system for a minerals processing company, serving a number of floors for removal of calcium carbonate granules (up to 40mm) and powders.

The solution comprises a pipe work system which interconnects strategically positioned hose connection points. These are connected to a vacuum plant comprising filter separator and exhauster package.

Materials are entrained into the airstream and conveyed to the filter separator, where heavier solids are disengaged, dropping down into the hopper section with lighter materials and conveying air rising towards the filtration media, which is cleaned by reverse jet. Products are dispensed by a double dump valve into a screw conveyor returning the collected materials back into the process.

BVC also supplied the control panel housing, the exhauster, ventilation fan, motor starters and contacts with all instrumentation and provision of contacts so the system is connected to the client's BMS.
