Industrial vacuum systems, like those sold by Brabazon throughout the Midwest, are used for a variety of specific purposes. Often, they are employed to keep factories and other industrial facilities free of dust and other harmful particles. As such high-power devices, these systems consist of many essential components you will want to consider when choosing a brand and specific model for your industrial purposes. Here, we overview some of the most important components in industrial vacuum systems.

The Vacuum Pump

The vacuum pump is the primary component of an industrial vacuum system. It functions by pulling air particles and gas molecules out of the system to keep pressure levels within the optimally functional range.

The Vacuum Chamber

The chamber is the exterior housing for the vacuum’s pump and all of its other components. This portion of the device is important because it needs to be sturdy enough to hold up to continue functioning but flexible enough to handle repositioning if needed. 

The Vacuum Hose

As the component that connects the vacuum pump to the chamber, the vacuum’s hose plays a critical role in the successful operation of the overall system. An important consideration when it comes to the hose is what it will need to attach to. Be sure you choose a system and a hose that are compliant with all hookups and attachments. 

The Vacuum Regulator

The vacuum regulator is critical because it keeps the system’s pressure within operational ranges. Regulators tend to work on their own without much need for regular adjustment. However, like most components of a vacuum system, they will require regular maintenance to ensure they are continuing to operate properly. 

Pressure Gauges

Heavy-duty vacuum gauges are the means for monitoring and measuring pressure levels within the vacuum system. Different systems feature gauges with different functionalities and levels of detail. Consider how much information you will be monitoring during operations and the benefits of industrial machine monitoring systems.  

Particulate Filters

Various types of filters are featured in all industrial vacuum systems as they serve an essential purpose in the systems’ main operational goals. Vacuum filters remove the dust and other particulate matter that these central vacuum systems seek to eliminate. Without filters, these contaminants would remain within the system, quickly compromising efficiency. 

Air Flow Valves

Similarly to gauges and filters, valves assist regulation of the system, keeping it functioning efficiently even in a continuous capacity. Vacuum valves in particular work to oversee and regulate airflow into and out of the system during material handling.  

Noise Mufflers

Finally, another component you will want to consider when evaluating a vacuum system for purchase is the muffler or other noise-dampening device. Vacuum pumps often create a lot of noise while in operation, so a means of auditory softening is essential for keeping an industrial facility suitable for employees.
