Central vacuum systems are becoming increasingly more popular as manufacturers are looking for new ways to trim operating expenses and increase efficiency. Centralizing the vacuum needs eliminates the necessity for personnel to perform periodic maintenance or repair on many pumps around the facility.

A central vacuum system also permits continuous, uninterrupted operation. Most systems include a reserve, or back-up, pump that comes on stream automatically should a primary pump fail to operate. Without a central system, should a pump fail or be down for maintenance, the machine associated with it would be out of service until another pump can be brought in and connected.

Centralizing is also better for employee comfort, an ever increasing concern in today’s business world. Removing pumps from the immediate work area reduces noise level and heat generated by the pumps and motors. For oil lubricated or water cooled pumps, centralizing removes the potentially hazardous situation of oil or water on the floor, which might cause someone to slip, causing injury.
