EXAIR Webinar Series: Break the cycle of replacing electric shop vacuums.
Be sure to attend the latest of EXAIR's webinars. Get educated on pneumatic industrial vacuums so you can break the cycle of replacing electric shop vacuums. Industrial environments often present a continual battle to keep them clean and safe. Unavoidable by-products of manufacturing processes include liquid and solids which often present hazards to personnel, products and processes. Solids may be trim, dusts, or chips from a manufacturing line; liquids may be coolant spills, coating overspray, or even burst packages.
Cleaning up these materials often falls on the operators of the equipment who need reliable, adaptable, safe and effective tools for cleanup. Supplying them with tools which fail frequently or do not meet the requirements of the safety team is a recipe for disaster.
Attend this webinar to gain an understanding of how pneumatic vacuums can reduce the maintenance, increase reliability, and improve flexibility for your facility. Attend live on May 24th at 2 p.m.
