network distributed around the facility to serve the various use locations .
Central vacuum cleaning systems may either use a portable BVC vacuum cleaner to provide motive air or may be configured with static plant and collection hoppers , discharging in to FIBC , drums , etc .
Quirepace design and build central vacuum cleaning systems up to around 30kW , with configurations for hazardous dusts and ATEX environments . A wide range of hoses and tools is available to suit all requirements .
Pneumatic Tube Systems Pneumatic tube systems are the best solution for moving small payloads up to around 3kg quickly between multiple locations within a facility . In industry , the principal use for Quirepace pneumatic tube systems is to transport samples for QC testing from the production floor to the on-site laboratory or testing location . and blowers manufactured in Italy by Esam .
Together , the UK manufactured BVC multistage units plus the Esam side channel machines offer a range of units to satisfy every potential requirement for the supply of both positive and negative pressure air to industrial manufacturers and processors .
The choice of which type is more appropriate for the application depends to some extent whether it is more important to maintain either a consistent pressure , or a consistent air flow as demand changes ; A side channel will tend to vary the pressure against any resistance to maintain a constant flow , whereas a BVC multistage unit will tend to vary the flow to maintain a constant pressure . Quirepace ’ s expert sales team can guide the user towards the most appropriate solution .
An advantage of multistage exhausters and blowers is their robustness and resilience in harsh environments and an ability to cope with some contamination of the air without destroying the impeller .
Central Vacuum Cleaning Systems
BVC Multistage vacuum pumps are ideal for smaller centralised vacuum cleaning installations . Typically these will have 2-3 simultaneous operators and a fixed pipework
A range of different systems is offered to meet all possible requirements , from the simplest point-to-point “ Diana ” system , to complex computer-controlled networks . Tube sizes range from 60mm to 200mm , with 75 , 110 , and 160mm diameters being the most common sizes .
Using a pneumatic tube system for rapid transportation of small payloads , is not only efficient , it also enhances health and safety by removing the requirement for people to walk samples through production areas .
