The Wood Processing and Paper industry are inherently prone to combustible dust hazards due to the high volumes of fine particulate dust generated during the manufacturing processes. Wood and paper dust comes from many different operations a facility may have such as chipping, sanding, cutting, shredding, etc. For most of these processes, the dust can be very fine and can become airborne very easily. The use of compressed air or sweeping can only compound these issues and can lead to a serious safety hazard. Industrial vacuum systems are a proven solution to help mitigate the risks posed by the fine dust generated in these facilities. Good Housekeeping practices can go a long way to ensure you not only meet NFPA 652, but ensure the safety and well-being of your associates. From the clean-up of fugitive dust on overhead rafters to moving piles of the material accumulated under a conveyor belt, American Vacuum has provided services and handled all types of applications that the wood and paper industry have.
