All-Purpose Pharmaceutical Vacuum Cleaner From Nilfisk-Advance America Cleans Up at INTERPHEX 2003



The Nilfisk CWR 75SS efficiently handles general maintenance cleaning, spillage removal, and wet/dry pick-up in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities and cleanrooms

NEW YORK, March 31, 2003 - Industrial vacuum cleaner manufacturer Nilfisk-Advance America's CWR 75SS pharmaceutical vacuum is on display today at INTERPHEX 2003 (March 31-April 2, 2003, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, Booth 838). The all-purpose Nilfisk CWR 75SS vacuum enables contamination-control specialists to perform a variety of cleaning tasks in pharmaceutical facilities and cleanrooms - including general maintenance, spillage removal, and wet/dry collection - with a single, high-efficiency machine. It is approved for cleanrooms down to ISO 4 (Class 10).

"Our customers love the fact that the CWR 75SS is so versatile," said Mike D'Agostino, product manager for Nilfisk-Advance America. "It safely collects powders, liquids, chemicals, allergens, and more. It can be used in cleanrooms, manufacturing areas, or anywhere else in the plant without the risk of contamination. Plus, it can be easily sanitized and autoclaved."

The vacuum's filtration system is largely responsible for its unusual capabilities. The system may consist of up to three HEPA/ULPA filters, which prevent particles from contaminating the motor and from being exhausted into the cleanroom environment. The redundant HEPA and/or ULPA filters ensure that up to 99.999% of particles, down to and including 0.12 microns, are retained within the vacuum.

The system's main filter is comprised of porous polyethylene tubes, which are water-, rot-, mildew-, and corrosion-resistant for maximum filter life. These tubes also help workers save time by enabling wet/dry collection without a filter change-out.

Additionally, the stainless steel CWR 75SS features an autoclaveable collection container, floor tool, and trolley for fast sanitation and validation; an optional drain valve for easy disposal of liquid debris; and multiple collection/disposal options.
