Removing Asbestos Safely with Type H Vacuums: What You Need to Know

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building construction materials due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

When removing this carcinogenic mineral, it's essential to take the necessary precautions to minimise the risk of exposure. One of the most critical tools for safely removing asbestos is a type H vacuum cleaner.

A type H vacuum cleaner is specifically designed for the safe removal of hazardous dusts, such as asbestos. These vacuums have a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that captures and removes 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns in size, including these fibres.

By using a type H vacuum, you can significantly reduce the risk of asbestos fibres becoming airborne and potentially inhaled during the removal process. This is especially important for those involved in the removal, as inhalation can have serious long-term health consequences.

Additionally, a type H vacuum provides peace of mind, knowing that you are taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of yourself and others during the removal process.

If you are planning to remove asbestos, it's crucial to invest in a type H vacuum cleaner. By doing so, you can minimise the risk of exposure and ensure a safe and effective removal process.

Morclean's Type H Vacuum Cleaners are purposefully engineered and constructed to cater to users' specific requirements for the safe and efficient collection of hazardous dust and debris. These hazardous materials can include substances like asbestos, finely divided silica, carcinogens, and highly active pharmaceutical products.

Each model within the Type H Vacuum Cleaners range is equipped with a three-stage filtration system on the negative pressure (suction) side of the motor. The first stage employs a sealable disposable paper bag to capture and contain the collected particles. The second stage utilizes a high-efficiency cloth filter made from a specialized filter medium designed as a pre-filter material for HEPA filters. Finally, the third stage incorporates an oversized HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) cartridge filter, housed within a sturdy and replaceable module.

To ensure stringent filtration standards, every Type H vacuum cleaner undergoes individual DOP testing using calibrated equipment. This testing guarantees a filtration efficiency greater than 99.997%. As part of the package, all Type H vacuum cleaners are supplied with 10 disposable paper bags and an additional spare secondary high-efficiency cloth filter, providing users with the necessary accessories for optimal functionality and convenience.
