Harley-Davidson’s manufacturing sites generate fine metal dust and waste as a by-product of machining and finishing processes. Over time, this material accumulated in high-level areas-presenting a significant risk of combustion. Traditional cleaning methods were either inadequate or created safety concerns in potentially explosive environments. A certified, reliable solution was needed to protect both workers and facilities.
Combustible dust build-up in production areas posed a serious safety risk in Harley-Davidson\'s high-precision manufacturing environments.
Problem:
Solution:
Using SpaceVac’s Div2-rated ATEX system, Harley-Davidson teams now perform safe, regular cleaning of high-risk areas from ground level. The system effectively captures combustible dust at source, ensuring a safer working environment and full compliance with industrial safety regulations. With no need for access equipment or shutdowns, operations continue uninterrupted-while significantly reducing the risk of fire or explosion.
