Recover material where it falls.
Vacuum points around conveyors, transfer points, and loadout areas help reduce buildup before it spreads.
Mining & Heavy Industry
Heavy-duty vacuum systems for mines, mills, and bulk material cleanup.
TVD designs high-volume recovery, central vacuum, and dust collection systems for abrasive material, conveyor carryback, pits, loadout, and large cleanup demands.
High volume
PowerLift, Elevator, and CORE CENTRAL layouts for large material loads
Abrasive-ready
Tooling and separators selected around material weight and wear
Outside service reduction
Systems planned to reduce recurring outside vac service where fit allows
Service access
Filters, hoppers, and collection placed for maintainability
Heavy material cleanup is a production and safety issue.
Mines, mills, quarries, and bulk-handling operations need recovery systems that can handle dense material, long cleanup routes, and harsh conditions without becoming another maintenance burden.
Reach pits, mezzanines, and remote zones.
Hose routing, mobile units, and central drops can be planned around real plant access constraints.
Move more material in less time.
High-volume collection reduces manual shoveling and dependence on limited outside service windows.
Built around bulk material and harsh-duty cleanup routes.
TVD sizes the system around material density, distance, lift, duty cycle, collection method, and service access.
01
Bulk recovery
PowerLift systems support high-volume cleanup and truck displacement opportunities.
02
Material transfer
Elevator systems can move recovered dry material into collection containers or hoppers.
03
Central routes
Permanent piping helps crews access repeat cleanup areas without hauling large equipment across the plant.
04
Remote collection
Central packages can keep the heavy collection point where maintenance can reach it.
Match the recovery system to the material and route.
Heavy industry often needs larger separators, abrasion-aware tooling, realistic maintenance access, and a clear separation between source capture and cleanup recovery.
High Volume
PowerLift PL
Large pile recovery, loadout cleanup, pits, and truck displacement opportunities.
Elevator
EL Series
Dry material recovery with elevated discharge into drums, totes, hoppers, or containers.
Central
CORE CENTRAL
Fixed multi-drop cleanup for large facilities with repeatable problem zones.
Portable
Portable support
Maintenance, spot cleanup, and smaller zones where central access is not practical.
Dust Capture
Point-source collection
Capture at transfer, crushing, screening, blending, and handling points where fit allows.
TVD Approach
Schedule Free Site Assessment
Engineering support for heavy-duty uptime.
TVD reviews the material, lift, route distance, operator access, utilities, and collection logistics before recommending equipment.
Quantify the material load
Density, abrasiveness, particle size, moisture, and cleanup frequency determine the system path.
Plan collection and discharge
Drums, hoppers, roll-offs, totes, and disposal routes should be designed before the vacuum package is selected.
Design for maintenance
Filter access, separator cleanout, hose wear, and spare parts planning matter in harsh environments.
Designed around heavy-industry safety objectives.
TVD aligns system design with your internal safety, insurer, and regulatory requirements. Final compliance determinations remain site-specific.
MSHA/OSHA
Site-specific safety coordination where applicable
NFPA 660
Dust Hazard Analysis planning where combustible dust may exist
NFPA 484
Metal dust considerations where applicable
Housekeeping
Cleaner platforms, pits, and walking-working surfaces
Dust Control
Capture and filtration planning for process dust objectives
Maintenance
Access planning for filters, hoppers, and wear parts
Common Questions
What heavy-industry teams usually ask first.
These answers focus on material recovery, uptime, and practical service.
Can this reduce outside vac service spend?
In many high-volume cleanup applications, yes. TVD reviews material type, distance, access, and collection method to validate whether an installed system can replace or reduce outside service.
Can these systems handle abrasive material?
They can be specified for abrasive service, but hose, tooling, separator, and wear-part choices need to match the material.
Can one system cover a large plant?
Often, but long pipe runs, lift, simultaneous users, and material density must be modeled before committing to central vacuum.
Can TVD service the system after install?
Yes. TVD plans filters, hoses, accessories, and maintenance access as part of the system design.
