Coffee roasting produced highly combustible dust throughout the facility, posing safety risks and requiring costly, time-consuming, high-level cleaning solutions.

Systems used: Complete SpaceVac Atex Pro 38mm system Titan 2 ATEX External Vacuum 230v

Problem:

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.

Solution:

By switching to a two-person SpaceVac team, UCC’s roasting area was cleaned in just two days—over a weekend, eliminating downtime. The entire site was completed in 12 days, as part of a scheduled program. With no access platforms needed and hazardous dust safely removed, SpaceVac delivered ongoing cost savings and formed a trusted partnership for regular maintenance.
