A Eurovac extraction system and vacuum assist tools remove virtually all sanding dust at the source before it passes the workers breathing zone. They are ideal for source capture with vacuum assist hand sanders, rotary sanders (grinders), trimmer saws and routers. Depending onthe surface being sanded and tools being used, we can usually get below OSHA'S PEL of 15 Mg/m3 for nuisance dust and often can get below 1 Mg./m3. Much of sanding dust has been found to be carcinogenic or the cause of silicosis. A Eurovac Dust Extraction System and vacuum assist tools can meet OSHA standards for wood sanding dust of being below 5 mg./m3. The Department of Labor and Industries division of Occupational Hygiene for the State of Massachusetts shows how we can meet their standards in a Massachusetts woodworking shop. Fiberglass dust is usually classified as nuisance dust and the standard for this is 15 mg./m3. Besides meeting OSHA health standards and reducing owner liability for employee health problems, there are other benefits from a central vacuum system and vacuum assist tools: |
| EUROVAC II SANDING PORTABLE unit that will allow operate 2 technicians to sanding at the same time. Motor is turned on and off automatically by air switches when tools are activated. Filtration system specially designed for vacuum sanding.The Eurovac 2 man Portable has a powerful 2.5 HP, 1440 watt motor that gives much more suction than most portables on the market. As well, the combination of a cyclone plus cartridge filter gives superior filtration allowing the vacuum unit to operate at maximum efficiency. The primary cyclonic filtration removes 85% of the sanding dust before the secondary cartridge filter resulting in a longer life and less cleaning required for the cartridge filter. This unit comes complete with two 25' x 1-1/4" vacuum hoses with airline. |

EUROVAC II GRINDING PORTABLE - the powerful 120 volt, 3000 watt, 3.9 HP pump has sufficient suction for use with grinders (rotary sanders) set up for dust extraction, Produces 100" of water column and 250 CFM. Most 120 volt portables on the market don't have enough suction for use with grinders. The Eurovac II grinding portable has more suction because it utilizes 3 motors - two are turned on initially by the first switch. The third motor is started by activating the back switch after the first two motors are running. This system is used to reduce the start-up current that would be required if all three motors started at the same time. |

| EUROVAC I CENTRAL - a 220v Turbine System with graduated metal pipe. Sealed turbine pumps are maintenance free (does not have brushes) and rated for 22,000 hours running time and uses less electricity than 120v. Available in sizes ranging from 5HP to 20 HP capable of handling shops with up to 12 technicians sanding. These systems can be expanded as the customer's business increases and they hire more technicians or build on to their existing facilities. Combination cyclonic separation with a cartridge filter and automatic compressed air pulse jet cleaning gives superior cleaning.The work stations for the Eurovac I system can be dropped from the ceiling between the bays or wall mounted. The system is turned on and off automatically when the technician plugs the vacuum hose in. |
|
| EUROVAC I PORTABLE - 4 HP, 220 volt single phase; 5, 7, and 10 HP three phase induction motor and regenerative blowers. 5 HP has sufficient suction for 3 or 4 technicians to sand or 2 technicians to grind at the same time. 10 HP has sufficient suction for 6 technicians to sand or 3 technicians to grind at the same time. Combination cyclonic separation with cartridge filter and compressed air pulse jet cleaning gives superior filtration. Optional cyclonic pre-separator available. |
|
EUROVAC III CENTRAL - 15 HP TO 75 HP, centrifugal multi stage pumps individually engineered for length of run, type of tools being used and number of technicians using the system at the same time. The separator includes primary cyclonic separation and a secondary cartridge filter with manual compressed air reverse pulse jet cleaning.Eurovac III Multi-Stage Pump Systems are ideal for large shops or plants having the capacity to provide up to 2000 CFM and high levels of vacuum (8.5" Hg+) to offset friction losses in large systems with large amount of pipe. The advantage of multi-stage pumps is that they supply a constant vacuum as more people are added to the system. They are also very reliable with little or no maintenance required. |
