Knowing your product encompasses every aspect of the selling game.
The general look of the product needs to match the target audience. My main product is a drum vacuum which is sold into industrial factories, steel yards, mine sites and off shore drill platforms. A very male dominated environment. The look and the colour and the technical specifications all need to match the expectations of those who are planning to buy it and use it.
When I create the product I pay close detail to the overall appearance and features of the product like this explosion proof vacuum below. This unit is very popular and I sell one every other week.
My clients often are engineers or mechanical supervisors or drill rig operators or maintenance men. Whichever job they have they usually find my product on the web using Google and then have to ask their immediate boss for approval to purchase. This is where I make sure as much technical information and technical details are included on the website. Sometimes the person who approves the purchase will have less technical knowledge than the operatpr so I keep the information simple and straight forward like the technical detail below.
The SPAV EX vacuum has the floowing features;
- Vacuum powerhead is made from anti-static metal
- Metal anti-static chrome wand
- Explosion proof anti-static suction hose
- Anti-static metal tank fittings
- Vacuum trolley base grounded with grounding chain
- Anti-static air fittings
- Anti-static tank fittings which complete the dissipation path
- Stainless steel anti-static capture tank
Many situations require an explosion proof vacuum system that will not ignite flammable fluid or explosive and conbustible dust. These applications include;
Hazardous Locations
- Hazardous locations like grain silos, food manufacturing plants that use flours and combustible food dusts
- Oil wells and fuel distribution centres that need explosion proof vacuums
- Offshore drilling platforms
- Printer recyclers that deal with toner cartridges
- Defence establishments that need to recover spent gun powder and shell casings
- Powder coating and powder painting facilities
Combustible Dust Mitigation
- With the emphasis on safety in the work place it is a requirement to have an explosion proof vacuum system like a Spillrite Explosion Proof vacuum to help control combustible dusts in hazardous environments
Flammable Fuels
- Flammable fuel comes in many different forms and can be extremely dangerous when tryimng to recover from a spill or when transfering between tanks and drums. A Spillrite Explosion Proof Anti-Static vacuum system will prevent any chance of static electricity igniting the fuel and causing an explosion. Our explosion proof pneumatic vacuums come in many differenc sizes and compressed air requirements.
Static Electricty & Explosion proof vacuums
- ​Static electricty can be created through many manufacturing processes and can be present without realising it on equipment and products. Be sure to use a Spillrite Anti-Static Explosion Proof vacuum to prevent static electricity causing an explosion. Our systems have been designed to prevent build up of static electricity. With no moving parts, heating elements or electrical current the Spillrite Explosion Proof vacuums can not produce static electricty and any build up caused by friction in the suction hose or due to the tribo electric effect will dissipate instantly through the installed grounding features.
