Revamped Website will Assist Manufacturers Facing combustible dust Issues

Holyoke, MA, April 1, 2010 –.  Ruwac is pleased to announce the launch of their redesigned website featuring explosion proof vacuums and information on combustible dust, www.ExplosionProofVacuums.com.  This revamped website provides information for facility maintenance professionals on the dangers of combustible dust, how to mitigate the hazard and how Ruwac can assist in the process.

OSHA requires that industries manufacturing products that produce a combustible dust institute housekeeping procedures that include vacuuming dust 1/32 of an inch (approximately the thickness of a paperclip) and greater with explosion proof vacuums – not the typical shop vacuum.  There are still questions as to whether or not particular industries need what type of housekeeping or vacuum solution.  Ruwac’s new site will assist manufacturers in this matter.

Eric Potorski, Sales Director for Ruwac says, “I still talk with manufacturers that think it is ok to vacuum combustible dust with a $20 shop vac.  They are putting the lives of their employees at stake and increase the likelihood of an OSHA fine.  We hope that our new website will provide manufacturers with added insight into this serious liability.  I ask that visitors check back often as we continue to update the site and add new media.”

As OSHA continues to refine the standards of good housekeeping for combustible dust Ruwac matches the needs of affected industries by providing equipment to match the hazard.  A rarity in the industry, Ruwac manufactures and designs their equipment in the United States from their Holyoke, MA, facility.  They have been doing so for well over 30 years.  Ruwac’s experience in portable and central vacuum systems satisfies customers across the U.S. and abroad.
