Problematic powder mess
June 1st 2008 To maintain a good grip on the
climbing wall of the Craggy Island
Climbing Centre in Guildford,
'chalk'powder is used on the hands.
However, it poses a problem for
cleaning staff as the very fine
powder can track throughout the
facility if not cleaned effectively.
Craggy Island had been using a
smaller commercial vacuum cleaner
but the fine chalk dust blocked the
vacuum cleaner bag very quickly
and could burst it after a small area
had been cleaned.
Quirepace, incorporating the
BVC brand, supplied a BVC TS60 3
motor industrial vacuum cleaner. It's
claimed the TS60 can go for over
two weeks at a stretch before the
container needs to be emptied.
"Our vacuum is performing
wonderfully and our floor is cleaner
than it has been in a long time,"
says Rob Mitchell, Craggy Island
Climbing Centre Director. More articles from Quirepace Ltd (BVC): |
