To design a central industrial vacuum system, there are many factors that must be taken into consideration in order to properly select the correct vacuum:

• Type of material
• Quantity of material
• Weight of material
• Particle size
• Length of operation
• Diameter of hose

• Length of hose and type of accessories
• Characteristics of material and atmosphere
  (i.e. explosion proof)
• Number of operators
• Number of vacuum assist tools or shrouds
• Altitude and temperature of environment.

Ruwac in Action

When Amherst Co-Op required a vacuum system for the housekeeping of their 128 grain silos, they called Ruwac. The challenge was to carry material from a distance of more than 700’ horizontally and 200’ vertically, eventually dropping all of the waste grain into their storage silo. With the use of two operators using 3” hoses, the system has operated flawlessly for more than 4 years, requiring no major service. Amherst employs a full time employee whose sole job is keeping the facility clean, safe and free of debris.
