Nowadays dangers of asbestos are sadly well-known. However in Europe, U.S and many other countries asbestos abatement and removal is yet a critical task. Working places have to be heat-treated and operators have to be equipped with specific tools. Asbestos heat-treats require the support of industrial vacuum cleaners provided with high filtration standards (HEPA filters), very high airflow and Longopac® safe collection system. Mastervac' wide range of industrial vacuums specifically designed for hazardous use are the right solution to ensure workers' and environment safety during critical asbestos removal operations.

1. Mastervac’s industrial vacuums solution for asbestos abatement contractors.

2.  Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that once
was lauded for its versatility, recognized for its heat
resistance, tensile strength and insulating properties and used
for everything from fire-proof vests to home and commercial
construction. It was woven into fabric, and mixed with cement.
Its properties were so desired that the United States military
mandated its use in every branch of service. Asbestos was a
perfect blend to make things better – except it was highly
toxic, too.
 Today asbestos is a known cause of mesothelioma
cancer, is banned in more than 50 countries, and its use has
been dramatically restricted in others.

4.  Asbestos abatement is a very important yet dangerous task,
ruled by strict policies throughout Europe, America and many
other countries.
 Working environments have to be sealed and workers have to
be equipped with specific overalls and machines.

5.  It can be made through different tecniques and
technologies such as:
Hand Held
equipment
Shotblasting Scarifying,
grinding

6.  All of the
technologies for
asbestos abatement
are engineered to be
used with industrial
vacuum cleaners.
 These machines are
vital in order to
ensure workers and
evironment safety,
collecting and
filtering the
hazardous dusts
which can then be
efficiently disposed
of.

7.  To provide the best answers to its clients ( both contractors and
OEM) Mastervac has engineered and built a wide range of industrial
vacuum cleaners with high filtration standards( HEPA, class H), very
high airflow and Longopac® safe collection system.
