Why should you choose Nilfisk for heavy industry?

Nilfisk has long been one of the leading global manufacturers of cleaning machines for heavy industry. We make industrial vacuums, sweepers, centralized systems that are able to satisfy any kind of cleaning need and improve safety and health while reducing costs.

The cement industry was one of the first to automate the control of production. Now the industry faces the challenge of getting a clean indoor environment. Nilfisk offers products that can make cement industry workplaces more pleasant and safer.

Cement recovery

Benefits & Advantages

Reduces cleaning time
Recovers tons of material
Increases safety
Reduces costs

Collecting cement from the mill and bagging zone

High power vacuums are principally used around the cement-mill and clinker. In this case, the installation of fixed pipes connected to a suction unit 55/75Kw power is recommended. The vacuum is used, as a centralized unit, in the bagging zone for the fast recovery of the material which comes out. This allows for a cleaner environment, recovery of the material, and cost savings.

Foundries are increasingly sensitive to the health of operators. Cleanliness of the environment is paramount: in a clean foundry, the work is easier, faster, less dangerous and more productive.

Terrain vacuuming from the vibrating grill

Nilfisk industrial vacuums are used in the shake-out (vibrating grill) area. This area features a detachment of earth from the transportation belt that moves in the direction of a bucket elevator. Nilfisk vacuums are used for the fast recovery of earth, drastically reducing time, labor and costs.

Floor cleaning after processing

In production areas, storage areas, or elsewhere in the facility, residues on the floor make the foundry environment extremely polluted and dusty.

Using GPL or Diesel Nilfisk sweepers means the dust is knocked down by a water spray system that facilitates collection. The sweeper construction is polyethylene roto-molded, making it extremely strong and allowing the machine to operate even in such a difficult environment.

In the incinerator working areas, volatile dust is a danger to operators’ health. The use of centralized vacuum systems and high power vacuums to collect materials - along with the use of sweeper and scrubber dryers to maintain a dust free environment -can make for a safer incinerator zone. Just ask us.

Centralized vacuum systems to recover ash anyplace in the working area

The fixed cleaning system collects materials from many inlets simultaneously. Wide areas, such as incinerator working sites, can be efficiently cleaned. Vacuumed materials are collected in one single container, placed either inside or outside the factory, making it easier for operators to provide for their dispo¬sal or recycling.

For incinerators, Nilfisk recommends the use of two units: a pre-separator available with various discharge options where the most of the collected material deposits, plus a suction unit reached by the lightest dusts only. The suction of dross and ashes especially near ovens and the dust pulling down zones is of fundamental importance: the benefits of a correct cleaning are in fact clear. They improve the quality of the working environment for operators and increase productivity and savings.

Collecting huge amounts of material

Even when the material to be recovered is heavy or comes in very large quantities, Nilfisk is up for the job. Our high power vacuums are able to suck any type of material, even with a huge specific weight. The high -power vacuum can also be used as suction unit for a plant and arranged in the work areas.

The use of such powerful vacuum cleaners offers immediate benefits in terms of saving in time and money and in improving environmental quality.

Sweeping the dust

At the end of a working cycle, the use of a sweeper to recover the dangerous dust that has settled on the ground is recommended. This helps maintain the normal level of dust in the atmosphere and makes the environment more tidy and productive..

For finishing off cleaning, industrial scrubbers to remove all traces of dust from the ground are also recommended.

You can also use combined machines that allow you to sweep, scrub and dry in a single pass.
