Industrial vacuum cleaner for the collection and removal of gunpowder, explosive powder and cartridge cases

If not removed continuously, gunpowder, explosive powder and cartridge cases residues in shooting ranges or military warehouses and centers can pose a risk to human health – and so to the staff, the customers and all those directly or indirectly coming into contact with this material.

Why are gunpowder and cartridge cases considered hazardous materials?

Gunpowder is made of, among others, lead and barium nitrate. These substances can be found in ammunitions, bullets and trigger ammunition.
When hitting surfaces such as ceilings, floors and walls, the bullet releases lead dust mixed with the lubricants used on the firearm, consequently dispersing into the air.
Residues in circumscribed spaces such as shooting ranges or military warehouses and centers must be properly and constantly removed, otherwise they may pose a risk to human health, both if inhaled and as explosive ignition sources.

The importance of cleaning

The most common cleaning operations made to remove unexploded power residues from firing positions in shooting ranges are:

the use of an absorbent material, later removed along with the dust and incinerated
good ventilation of the rooms (essential)
non-certified/compressed air tools or dry cleaning with a broom and dustpan which, instead of collecting the material, disperse it into the environment.

However, all these solutions are not sufficient or safe: it is essential to be provided with a system able to guarantee constant and meticulous cleaning and so to safely eliminate any visible traces or residues of deposited dust. To do so, the best solution is a certified vacuum cleaner for the removal of harmful and explosive material.
