VAC-U-MAX specializes in design and manufacture of pneumatic conveying systems and support equipment for conveying, weighing and batching of dry materials. An equally important activity is design and manufacture of heavy duty industrial vacuum cleaners, ranging from small air and electric powered drum styled units to large electric and diesel powered units.

The air-powered vacuums operate on the venturi principle and by design create their own vacuum without motors or moving parts, making them intrinsically safe and ideal for use with abrasive cement particles that can damage electrical equipment over time.


Buzzi Unicem USA's Indianapolis terminal uses the MDL-55 air operated vacuum cleaner, with pulse jet filter, from VAC-U-MAX to clean up excess flyash and slag around boot connectors.


Buzzi Unicem USA's Pensacola terminal reclaims between 500 to 600 lbs of Portland cement every other day using VAC-U-MAX air operated vacuum cleaners.

Buzzi Unicem USA is sensitive to environmental issues and is proactive in adhering to OSHA and MSHA regulations, as well as local EPA guidelines. As such, the Stockertown, Penn. plant uses two Monobloc centralized vacuum systems to remove product build-up around the hatches of bulk tankers and railcars that are loaded from above, ensuring no dust is spread when the trucks are leaving the facility or traveling through neighborhoods. These stationary Monoblocs include strategically placed piping throughout the facility allowing hoses to be connected to clean multiple areas simultaneously.

Centralized vacuums are also used in clinker plants early in the cement manufacturing process and capture a half ton of dust per day during the grinding process. In large grinding operations with multiple floors, the vacuum is centrally located on the ground level with piping routed to each floor for easy clean up.

In automated labs where constant operation of multiple stations and materials produce fine, smoke-like dust, vacuum systems can easily become overwhelmed, skewing test results. In order to maintain accurate results, automated labs require central continuous duty vacuum systems that are precisely engineered.
