Truly “Air-Tight” Blast Gates Increase Worker Efficiency

Holyoke, MA, April 28, 2010 – Ruwac introduces a new line of truly “air-tight” blast gates operated manually or pneumatically that utilize a two part, self-sealing gasket assembly to completely isolate outside air, guaranteeing no air leakage across the valve or into the atmosphere.  They are designed to withstand 16 HG” of negative pressure.

gatevalve_1These blast gates are manufactured in zinc plate or stainless steel in 2”, 3”, 4”, 6” and 8” diameter and can be installed on any dust collection or vacuum system.  Pneumatic valves are available with coil voltages ranging from 24V AC/DC to 120V AC or 220 V AC and operate off air pressures as low as 30 Psi, with optimal performance requiring 70 Psi.  Supplied as standard with straight ends, Ruwac’s air-tight blast gates can also be made with flanged or rolled ends when required.

Portable, Combustible Dust Housekeeping for Every Industry

FRV110 Explosion Proof VacuumHolyoke, MA, March 30, 2010 – Ruwac’s legally certified, FRV110 explosion proof vacuum cleaner is the only one on the market to incorporate a TEFC explosion proof motor rated for continuous duty,­ while operating on a standard 20 amp service.  The unique oval housing design and MicroClean filter system provide a dustless, low maintenance and powerful vacuum cleaner. The FRV110 swiftly vacuums layers of combustible dust to prevent the potential accelerant from producing an explosion in your facility.

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.  To assist companies that are faced with this requirement and avoid fines the FRV110 vacuum is ETL certified to UL and CSA standards for Class I Div 1, 2 Group D and Class II Div 1, 2 Group F & G for explosive dust situations and OSHA compliant in accordance to CPL03-00-008.
