Éamonn M. Shanahan - National Sales Manager
If you see a "buy-it-now" next to a picture of an explosion-proof Vacuum or Dust Collector, this indicates a brand that cannot and should not be trusted. At no additional cost, I offer 40 years of knowledge and experience, including a 7-year Millwright engineering apprenticeship, available at your disposal every day of the week.
That vacuum or Dust Collector won't cost you a penny more, and you will benefit from free lifetime support. You will never see a “buy-it-now” ad from us because we are professionals. We take our work seriously because your safety and that of your workers is at stake.
These case studies and essays provide insight into our various experiences in facilities across the USA, where we solve air and dust problems for our clients.
