Collects granite dust
June 1st 2006

Powerful Class M health and safety vacuums from Nilfisk- Alto are teamed with sandblasting equipment at Willcox Granite of Evesham to ensure tombstones are manufactured in a clean, efficient environment.

Three ATTIX 761-2M XC vacuums are connected to sandblasting equipment to collect granite dust at source, as well as the sandblasting medium for re-use.

The vacuums' automatic XtremeClean filter systems ensure efficient operation.

The vacuum moves 3600L of air/min, produces a vacuum of 230mbar and its 1500W motor operates on 230V.

The company also uses a Floortec 560B battery powered walk-behind sweeper for general cleaning.
