Central Vacuum commercial system in an industrial facility
CENTRAL VACUUM / SPECIAL PROJECTS

Built for the jobs
portables can’t handle.

Commercial. Industrial. Institutional. Historic. We design built-in vacuum systems around the building, the workload and the problem you actually need to solve.

NOT OFF THE SHELF

Every building asks something different of us.

We have installed systems in hair salons, barbershops, veterinary hospitals, pet boarding and grooming facilities, cleanrooms, manufacturing facilities, auto detailing centers, air traffic control towers, restaurants, banquet halls, apartment buildings, hotels, banks, auto body and glass shops, funeral homes, bakeries, offices, communication centers, limousine garages, towing companies, auto dealerships, dental laboratories, houses of worship, schools, nursing homes, retail stores, medical centers and many other applications.

Every system is custom designed to suit the facility, workload and application.

WHERE WE WORK

One system. Hundreds of applications.

If portable vacuums are becoming part of the workflow, it may be time to make the vacuum system part of the building.

02

Multi-User

Systems designed to support multiple operators working simultaneously.

03

Wet Pickup

Purpose-built configurations for applications requiring liquid as well as dry pickup.

04

Self-Emptying

Reduce routine handling with collection systems engineered around the facility.

05

Static Dissipating

Specialized components for environments where static management matters.

06

Explosion Proof

Specialized configurations for demanding industrial applications.

BUILT INTO THE BUILDING

Stop carrying the vacuum.
Start using the building.

A properly designed central vacuum system puts suction where people need it while moving the motor, filtration and collection equipment out of the working space.

IN THE FIELD

Special projects in the real world.

Different spaces. Different equipment. Different requirements. One approach: engineer the system around the application.

Our built-in vacuum systems pick up where portables leave off.

THEN + NOW

Some special projects started a century ago.

Central vacuum is not a new idea. Systems were engineered directly into major buildings generations ago, and many are still there.

We service, restore and modernize historic built-in systems while preserving the character of the original installation.

Historic value.
Present-day usability.
FROM THE ARCHIVE

A technology with a long memory.

Original systems, historic advertisements, surviving inlets and mechanical equipment.

HAVE AN UNUSUAL APPLICATION?

Good.
Those are our favorite calls.

Tell us about the building, what you need to collect, how many people need to use the system and where portable equipment is getting in the way.
