Maximize Asset Longevity with Smarter Dust Control in EV Facilities

In advanced manufacturing environments like electric vehicle production, a clean workspace is more than housekeeping — it’s about product integrity, worker safety, and regulatory compliance.

Traditional sweeping with a broom may feel familiar and low-cost, but it often redistributes fine particulates like silica, aluminum, and plastic shavings back into the air and onto sensitive equipment. The result? Risk to air quality, production processes, and component performance.

Why the PLĒCO™ Is Built for EV Facilities

That's why the PLĒCO™ HEPA portable vacuum was built with EV facilities in mind. It’s engineered to capture the real-world materials you deal with every day:

  • Fine conductive dust from aluminum and battery materials.
  • Silica dust from polishing or abrasives.
  • Wet plastic, grain, and fine sand from production and packaging.
  • Hazardous dust like lead or even trace metals used in specialized coatings.

Instead of moving dust around with a broom, PLĒCO™ captures contaminants at the source — protecting your floors, your equipment, your workers, and your production line.

If keeping your EV facility clean and compliant is a priority, it’s time to rethink sweeping and upgrade your methods. Source capture is the key!

Broom vs. PLĒCO™ Vacuum: Cost & Performance Comparison

Benefits of Source Capture for Your EV Facility

Source capture addresses industrial manufacturing debris caused by grinding, sanding, welding, painting and various other challenges at the point of generation, offering key benefits:

  • Health & Safety: Minimizes airborne toxins and supports OSHA, NIOSH, and EPA compliance.
  • Efficiency: Reduces cleanup time and labor costs.
  • Quality Control: Keeps surfaces clean for coatings, adhesives, and electronics.
  • Equipment Longevity: Protects machinery from dust-related wear.
  • Risk Reduction: Helps prevent combustible dust hazards and regulatory issues.
Testimonials We love the vacuum and use it just about every day in our normal everyday routine.

"We love the vacuum and use it just about every day in our normal everyday routine. It has been a major help with maintaining clean floors and machines. We have also used it to unplug clogged pneumatic conveying lines where compressed air did not effectively work. In the past, we used brooms and compressed air to clean which caused the dust to float in the air, moving from surface to surface. The PLECO vacuum eliminates floating dust and its suction is powerful enough to get the fine dust out of the cracks and off the floor quickly. I like that it’s portable to move it where you need it."
