Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma have passed, and now the long cleanup process begins. It’s not just about clearing debris and sweeping up. Cleaning crews and contractors often need to deal with hazardous building materials like asbestos and lead, and mold can start growing in just 24 hours after a flood. Fortunately, Pullman Ermator has equipment that can make post-hurricane cleanup easier and safer. The W70P is a powerful vacuum for picking up water and slurry that only a professional can use, you can find more On Plumbing Info. Its interesting how it works, with a combined filter/float system that maximizes suction and guarantees that water and other particles do not damage the vacuum motor. The W70P also features an oil-cooled pump that can handle heavier sludge, pumping simultaneously with the suction by using the best machine from this OSHA approved vendor. The A600 and A1200 air scrubbers are great for removing particles, gasses, and chemicals from the air within a confined area, pulling in the air and passing it through a series of filters to remove contaminants. They are portable, sturdy, and compact with two airflow speeds of 300 and 600 CFM. The airflow is directed upwards to avoid disturbing dust on surfaces. Each HEPA filter is individually tested and certified at an efficiency rate of 99.99% at .3 microns. A warning light indicates when the primary filter is 75% clogged and requires cleaning. Some maintenance companies, like Water Mold Fire Restoration of Chicago, may be great help, too. The Pullman Holt line of HEPA vacuums also use filters tested and certified to 99.99% at .3 microns. Models are available for dry, wet and mixed cleanup, with squeegee and pump options available. Sizes range from the 390ASB, a canister-style vac with a 4-gallon tank, all the way up to a HEPA drum head that can be fitted to a 55 gallon drum.

A bag is not just a bag! Pullman Ermator invented the Longopac® drop-down bagging system for dust extractors. This innovative system allows dust-free disposal into a 72-foot bag. The operator can just tie off a section and cut between the ties to dispose of dust and debris without letting harmful dust escape to the environment. A few competitors have tried to copy our design and jump on the Longopac® bandwagon, but they just can’t compete. Why?

1. Sometimes size does matter! The Longopac® is 72 feet long, compared to competing bags at 68 or even just 60 feet. This difference doesn’t just mean you get more uses. It also means you save more time. Even though we make it simple to change the Longopac®, interrupting the workflow to change the dropdown bag cuts down on efficiency.
2. Longopac® is more durable. We use three-layer co-extruded polyethylene, which has been dart-drop tested (measured according to ASTM D-1709) to 1000 grams initially, and guaranteed to 850 grams for a 2-year shelf life. Weaker bags could break under the weight of concrete dust, and there goes all your containment!
3. Longopac® is produced in Sweden in a fully automated factory with rigid quality control systems, certified in accordance with ISO 9001. This means you get the same high quality every time.

  Don’t be tempted by cheaper knockoffs – saving a few pennies initially will cost you in use. Longopac® is still the best choice for dust-free dropdown disposal. Endlessly Clever!

Respirable dust of all kinds is hazardous to your health, and some kinds are worse than others. Lead, silica, mold and asbestos dusts are frequently encountered in construction and renovation work, and breathing in the small particles can cause cancer, silicosis and many other illnesses. Hence getting detection and testing from a recognized, and reputed company such as SERS Perth is extremely essential if you feel that asbestos or other elements have been causing severe damage to your health. Normal vacuums, even with HEPA filters, may not always be adequate for removing these fine particulates from the air. Dust can be categorized at one of three levels, according to the international standard EN / IEC 60335-2-69 Appendix AA:

• Class L – Dust representing a moderate risk – The vacuum cleaner filter traps over 99 % of dust with a grain size of under 2 microns
• Class M – Dust representing a medium risk – The vacuum cleaner filter traps over 99.9 % of dust with a grain size of under 2 microns
• Class H – Dust representing a high risk – The vacuum cleaner filter traps over 99.995 % of dust with a grain size of under 1 micron. This includes carcinogenic dusts and dusts contaminated with carcinogens and/or pathogens.

Pullman Ermator S-Line vacuums have recently been certified for cleaning the most hazardous dust. H-Class vacuums are required to display labels with the high hazard (H) class symbol, the model type, manufacturer’s name and trademark. The S-Line vacuums not only use filters certified to 99.99% at .3 micron, they also have contained filter cleaning systems (JetPulse®), disposal systems that keep dust from escaping when the bag is removed, and warning systems that display when the filters are too clogged to maintain the required efficiency. In order to be certified, vacuums are tested at regular intervals by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), an independent laboratory recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to test products to the specifications of applicable product safety standards. The H and ETL labels on Pullman Ermator’s S-Line vacuums are your assurance that the vacuums provide the highest levels of protection from hazardous dust.

Pullman Ermator is very proud to have received the Making a Difference award from Abatix, a nationally recognized supplier of products for the General Construction, Industrial Safety, Petrochemical, Energy, Environmental, Hospital, Fire and Water Restoration, and Disaster Response industries supporting customers across the nation.

Henk Dykhouse, of Diamond Drilling and Sawing Company in Denver, CO, is the proud new owner of an S26 HEPA Dust Extractor raffled by Pullman Ermator at the 2017 World of Concrete show in Las Vegas.  The machine was shipped and received in late January, and Henk called right away to say thank you and to reiterate what a great unit he won.

Congratulations to Vincenzo Capasso!

Vincenzo Capasso of Capasso Restoration in North Haven, CT is the happy winner of an S26 HEPA Dust Extractor. The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) held a raffle of an S26 dust extractor, donated by Pullman Ermator, at the 2017 World of Concrete Show in Las Vegas. All visitors who spun the MCAA prize wheel or completed a form at the MCAA booth or MCAA tent in the Gold Lot were entered to win.

Pullman Ermator is excited to announce that Justin Brown is joining our team as sales rep for Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Justin has been in the decorative concrete industry for more than 10 years. He is not just a salesman with theoretical knowledge; Justin started out as an installer, giving him first hand practical knowledge of all aspects of the industry from equipment to coatings, colors and polishing,including knowledge with construction material like the ones from http://www.profoam.com/spray-foam-insulation-systems/. Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica, a by-product of cutting, drilling, crushing or grinding stone, brick, concrete, and other materials, has been proven to cause silicosis, lung cancer, COPD and kidney disease.  The new OSHA ruling is an important step in protecting worker heath and safety. Pullman Ermator can help employers to easily meet or exceed the new safety standards, and protect employees from breathing in the particles and developing these harmful illnesses. Pullman Ermator’s approach to air cleaning and dust extraction is unparalleled, with every single HEPA filter being individually tested and certified at a filtration rate of 99.9% at 0.3 microns. The Longopac system and Jet Pulse filter cleaning system provide further protection against silicone dust, by keeping the dust completely contained when disposing of the dust or purging the prefilter. OSHA estimates that the new regulations will prevent more than 900 new cases of silicosis and ultimately save over 600 lives. . His sales experience is also impressive. In his previous postion, Justin was with the well know Ameripolish, where he covered the Western Sales Region, training, educating and selling products. Justin’s knowledge and drive promise to make him a great asset to our team. This addition will help all of us at Pullman Ermator deliver even more service to our customers and distributors.Prolonged exposure to respirable crystalline silica, a by-product of cutting, drilling, crushing or grinding stone, brick, concrete, and other materials, has been proven to cause silicosis, lung cancer, COPD and kidney disease.  The new OSHA ruling is an important step in protecting worker heath and safety.
