Vacuums: Reducing Carbon Dust Footprint With Versatile Backpack Vacuums

Company Website

Certain industrial settings are dusty enough to leave footprints on the floor. This was the situation at the 3M Occupational Health and Environmental Safety Division and Health Care Business manufacturing facility in Valley, Neb., before the arrival of ProTeam® backpack vacuums.

Sparkling Klean, Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska provides custodial services for the plant and after testing several brands of backpack vacuum cleaners, ProTeam provided the company with the best solution to remove carbon particulate.

ProTeam has Four-level Filtration®, capturing 99.9 percent of dust and pollutants one micron or larger and there was a reduction in carbon dust in manufacturing and office areas after using the machines.

The versatility of the machines allowed crews to clean vents, furniture and shelving. Tools carried on the waist belt made for quick and easy attachment changes.    

Sparkling Klean has replaced its uprights with backpacks. Better dust removal, versatility, improved productivity and reduced maintenance costs make backpacks standard equipment for industrial-strength cleaning.
