Industry Education

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.

Our happy customers

"Firstly, I just wanted to give some positive feedback on your engineers visit to carry out the LEV testing and airflow indicator installation. I was very happy with the work carried out and look forward to receiving the LEV reports. Going forward I would be happy if AES would undertake our yearly LEV testing and I will also of course look to utilise yourself if any future installs are required"

I have dealt with AES on several projects, the last being the £40m New Ayrshire College in Kilmarnock; a ‘7 star’ campus providing facilities for Engineering and Construction students. AES Solutions were the successful contractor providing workshop equipment to facilitate this. Works involved space design, supply and commissioning of equipment to the value of £600k. Works have been carried out on time to an extremely tight budget which has involved some challenging value engineering. AES have risen to the challenge and at times gone above and beyond what would be expected of a sub-contractor. There have provided an excellent back-up facility of in-house design and procurement. I would have no hesitation in recommending AES Solutions on future projects.

"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!"
