Personnel Cleaning Vacuum System – ALFA AIRSAFE VAC
Do Not Blow Dust Off Personnel — Vacuum It
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC is a compressed-air-powered personnel cleaning vacuum system developed to remove dust, chips and dry particles from the clothing of personnel working in production environments in a controlled way.
With conventional compressed air guns, particles removed from a worker’s clothing may spread back into the workplace.
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC draws particles off personnel by vacuum and transfers them to a collection container.
This helps reduce the spread of dust back into the workplace during personnel cleaning.
Non-Electric Personnel Cleaning System Powered by Compressed Air
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC runs on the factory’s existing compressed air supply rather than an electric motor.
Pneumatic vacuum technology uses compressed air to generate vacuum. Particles on work clothing are drawn into the system’s collection container.
System Features
- No electric motor.
- No electrical connection required.
- No carbon brushes.
- No electric fan system.
- Can connect to the factory’s existing compressed air supply.
- Stainless steel body.
- Can be used at industrial personnel cleaning stations.
Collect Dust by Vacuum Instead of Blowing It into the Air
Cleaning dust off personnel with high-pressure air may cause particles to spread back into the workplace.
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC uses a different operating principle.
It collects dust by vacuum rather than blowing it away.
This helps make personnel cleaning more controlled, particularly in production facilities where large amounts of dust are generated.
Why Use Vacuum for Personnel Cleaning?
After production, the following materials may remain on work clothing:
- metal dust,
- chips,
- wood dust,
- production particles,
- dry process dust.
When removed with an air gun, these particles may spread back into the workplace.
The aim of vacuum personnel cleaning is to collect particles directly by suction without carrying them into the air.
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC is a pneumatic personnel cleaning solution developed for this purpose.
Where Can ALFA AIRSAFE VAC Be Used?
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC can be used particularly in production facilities where personnel carry high levels of dust and particles on their clothing.
What Is the Difference Between ALFA AIRSAFE and ALFA AIRSAFE VAC?
ALFA offers two different technologies for personnel cleaning.
ALFA AIRSAFE
Removes particles from personnel using low-pressure, high-volume air at approximately 0.2 bar.
It was developed as an alternative to applying conventional 6–8 bar factory compressed air directly to personnel.
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC
Collects dust and particles from personnel by vacuum.
It is particularly useful in applications where particles should not spread back into the workplace during cleaning.
Which System Should You Choose?
ALFA AIRSAFE can be selected when the aim is to remove dust from personnel safely;
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC can be selected when the dust should also be collected by suction without spreading into the workplace.
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC Advantages
Collects Dust by Suction
Helps reduce the spread of particles removed from personnel back into the workplace.
No Electric Motor
Uses compressed air instead of an electric motor to generate vacuum.
No Electrical Connection Required
No power socket or extension cable is needed.
No Moving Electric Fan System
Uses a mechanically simple operating principle.
Suitable for Industrial Use
Its stainless steel body allows use in demanding production environments.
Easy Maintenance
Its pneumatic operating principle and simple mechanical design keep maintenance requirements low.
Personnel Cleaning with a Focus on Workplace Safety
Applying high-pressure air directly to personnel may create various workplace safety risks.
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC is an alternative personnel cleaning method based on removing particles by vacuum instead of scattering them with high-pressure air.
This approach helps keep particles under control during personnel cleaning.
Important Information About Static Electricity and ATEX
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC does not contain an electric motor.
Suitable antistatic or static-conductive hoses and grounding solutions can be used to reduce static electricity risks.
ALFA AIRSAFE VAC is not an ATEX-certified product.
Before use in areas classified as explosive atmospheres, the facility’s ATEX risk assessment and site requirements must be evaluated separately.
Frequently Asked Questions About ALFA AIRSAFE VAC
Does ALFA AIRSAFE VAC Run on Electricity?
No. The system uses the factory’s existing compressed air supply to generate vacuum.
Can It Be Used for Personnel Cleaning?
Yes. One of its main purposes is to remove dust, chips and dry particles from work clothing by vacuum.
How Does It Differ from a Standard Air Gun?
An air gun blows particles off a worker’s clothing. ALFA AIRSAFE VAC collects particles by vacuum.
Does Dust Spread Back into the Workplace?
The system aims to draw particles into a collection container, helping reduce their spread back into the surrounding area.
Does It Have an Electric Motor?
No. It contains no electric motor, carbon brushes or electric fan motor.
Is It ATEX Certified?
No. The product is not ATEX certified. The facility’s risk assessment must be carried out separately for explosive-atmosphere applications.
