We understand the importance of proper dust control

Industrial and agricultural producers worldwide are becoming more aware of the significant health and safety problems associated with uncontrolled dust accumulations in their plants and production facilities. The dangers of combustible dust and respirable silica are two of the high-focus areas for OSHA, NFPA, ISSA and other standards associations that create and monitor industrial safety guidelines and regulations. Current guidelines from all regulatory sources indicate vacuuming as the industry “best practice” for removing dust and particulate waste from facility equipment and surrounding surfaces.

Blowing down dust with compressed air or brushing it down is strictly prohibited under these guidelines since these methods create dust clouds that can lead to serious health and safety concerns. For some dust-generating industrial processes, engineered controls and process changes can be implemented to minimize dust generation. However, regular plant housekeeping programs are a key element of most industrial dust management programs.

As regulations become more and more stringent, the need for routine housekeeping programs will continue to be an important component of any proactive dust control strategy.

What we do

GLPV key personnel are seasoned industrial cleaning professionals, with more than 70 years combined experience in industrial and environmental waste management and disposal. Our advanced vacuuming technologies, methods, and equipment are ideal for the removal of process dust and dry media commonly found in paper mills, power plants, printing facilities, packaging plants, food processing facilities, foundries, and manufacturing facilities.

Depending on the type of material to be vacuumed, its location, chemical makeup, moisture content, particle size, reactivity, and other material characteristics, we determine which vacuum process is best suited for the application. GLPV can then choose from a wide range of in-house tools including vacuum trucks, hydro-vac trucks, custom-designed, mobile, in-plant vacuum systems, portable Class II, Div. 2 electric vacuums, drum loaders and vacuum accessories, to address most any overhead cleaning challenge.
