Overhead Cleaning: Combustible Dusts

All fugitive dusts are potentially respirable, they inflict considerable wear on equipment, and 80% of process dusts are combustible.

While each combustible dust has a different quantity and concentration threshold for danger, OSHA guidelines state, “in general, a thickness greater than 1/32 of an inch is cause for concern when the surface area covered by settled dust exceeds five percent of the floor area in a given room.” (1/32″ is roughly the thickness of a paperclip.)

Many facilities appear to be free of concentrations of dust at eye level, but the culprit behind many secondary dust explosions is the accumulation of dust in out-of-sight places such as overhead beams, joists, duct work, and the tops of equipment.

VAC-U-MAX overhead tools were designed to help you clean these hard-to-reach areas.

• Conduit Pipes from 1″ OD to 8″ OD
• Cable Trays
• I-Beam flat surfaces
• Above false ceilings
• Building Joists
• HVAC and Dust Collector Duct Work
• Tops of Machinery
• Vertical Surfaces: Cinderblock or Brick
