In addition to the risk of explosion that comes with build-ups of combustible dust, Lantmannen Bakeries faced a dual problem with this resulting build up of dust providing a food source for nesting pests. Previous cleaning work required extensive shutdown periods and expensive access equipment – all of which was still leaving the facility 40% uncleaned.

By introducing SpaceVac, the team onsite were now able to access and clean 100% of the facility from the safety of the ground floor – removing pests and the waste material without the need for expensive access equipment. In turn, the increased speed of cleaning meant that cleaning work is now completed in a fraction of time, minimising the amount of downtime required onsite.

At UCC Coffee’s major UK roasting facility, dust generated during bean processing accumulated across silos, mezzanines, and warehouse rafters. Traditional cleaning methods relied on cherry pickers and in-house staff, taking a week to clean just the roasting area and causing operational disruption. This inefficient, costly process posed a serious safety risk and created regular downtime onsite.

This buildup presents a serious risk of ignition. Traditional cleaning methods using access equipment posed safety and hygiene issues, with cleaning often delayed due to operational pressures or difficulty accessing critical high-risk zones.
