C-Vac Dust & Fume Extraction System Designed for Schools & Colleges

The C-Vac System has been specifically developed for use in Schools and Colleges.

The unique C-VAC system is proven to provide cleaner, safer environments for teachers and pupils. It extracts dust from multiple machines simultaneously and incorporates plug in points for portable tools and attachments for floor and bench cleaning.

Designed for ease of use it incorporates automatic valves linked to the wood working machines so that the extraction is on when required. Dust is collected centrally in a sealable trolley-mounted bag for safe and easy disposal. C-VAC is powerful, yet quiet and economical in operation.

"Many thanks for all your work in regards to the workshops at the new school. The equipment is all outstanding, it’s such a contrast to what we had at the old school. Your team have done an outstanding job, the machinery and the environment are just great to work in. The rest of the team and the pupils seem to be settling in and are enjoying the new equipment and surroundings. I can imagine it’s not been an easy job but I have to say it’s been totally worth it!"
