Industrial Vacuum
Petro Plastics found a solution for slip and environmental hazards often generated by residue left over from their grinders and saws. Resin, pellets and scrap cuttings frequently wash into surrounding waterways, so Lou Petrozziello, President of Petro Plastics, looked for an effective yet inexpensive method to solve the issue while keeping his factory clean, in a timely fashion.

After investigating the situation within the plant, Petrozziello discovered that “it was really just a constant cleaning problem”. They needed a system that would clean spills inside and outside of the plant, as well as around the loading dock and dumpster area.

The ELGEE Power Vacuum was his answer. “It’s a vacuum sweeper with enough power to suck up anything we throw at it. Not only does it clean up nurdles, chips and cuttings, we use it in our warehouse to vacuum pieces of strapping and chunks of wood from pallets,” said Petroziello. Employees simply walk the power vacuum up and down the aisles or use the instant action hose to vacuum inaccessible areas, in a fraction of the time. The propane-powered model gives them the maximum power needed, and versatility, to work inside and outside of the plant, in a more effective manner.
