Project scenario
A surface prep team removes failed epoxy from a 30,000 sq ft Houston manufacturing floor on a tight reopening schedule.
Dust challenge
Heavy grinding dust, epoxy chips, and residual silica from the substrate.
Site constraint
Customer reopening in 72 hours — no time for separate post-grind cleanup.
Why a HEPA vacuum was selected
Big Boss runs alongside grinders, capturing dust and chips continuously to keep the substrate ready for the next coat.
Suggested vacuum setup
Dirt Eater Big Boss with continuous-bag handling, long hose, two operators trailing the grinders.
Practical workflow
Vacuum follows grinders zone by zone. Final HEPA pass within an hour of primer drop.
Safety & compliance note: Treat substrate dust as silica-bearing and follow silica controls.
