Capture dust before it reaches the board.
Consistent suction at the tool head helps keep drilling, routing, conformal coating, and assembly processes clear of fine debris.
Semiconductor & Electronics
Precision vacuum systems for PCB, semiconductor, and electronics manufacturing.
TVD designs central vacuum, dust capture, filtration, and ESD-aware cleanup systems around drill dust, routing debris, FOD control, and cleanroom particulate objectives.
50-70 inWG
Target operational range at drill, router, and laser heads
Spencer-aware
Service existing systems or validate a modern alternative
ESD-ready
Conductive hoses, grounded tooling, HEPA and ULPA options
Capex de-risked
10 HP portable demo before full system commitment
Particle control is production control.
PCB drilling, routing, laser cutting, and electronics assembly create fine fiberglass, copper, and FOD exposure that can damage yield, contaminate work areas, and keep legacy vacuum systems running harder than they should.
Keep production from depending on one tired pump.
Properly sized producers, controls, filters, and service access help reduce clogs, overloads, and emergency shutdowns.
Support cleanroom and ESD objectives.
Conductive tools, grounded hose, HEPA or ULPA filtration, and cleanroom-compatible materials can be selected for sensitive zones.
Built around the places electronics plants lose yield.
TVD maps vacuum producers, piping, filtration, service access, and operator drops around the process tools that generate fine debris.
01
Drill & router heads
Machine-head capture targets fine FR-4, copper, and fiberglass dust before it migrates across the line.
02
Assembly & FOD control
Cleanroom-adjacent cleanup points help operators remove debris without creating a secondary contamination event.
03
Filtration & separation
Cartridge, HEPA, ULPA, and tramp-material protection can be selected around the dust load and tool sensitivity.
04
Legacy system retrofit
Existing Spencer systems can be serviced, rebalanced, and modernized when replacement is not the right first move.
Support the incumbent system or prove the switch.
PCB and electronics production teams often need two lanes: keep existing Spencer systems productive, or validate a DuroVac alternative before capex.
Central
PCB drilling & routing vacuum
DuroVac CORE CENTRAL systems for multi-machine drill, router, and laser layouts. Typical fits include 10-25 HP with 50-70 inWG targeted at heads.
Retrofit
Spencer service & retrofit
TVD services existing Spencer Turbine systems with maintenance, parts support, motor rebuilds, ducting upgrades, and controls modernization.
Portable
HEPA/ULPA + ESD-safe portable
DuroVac DVR or DVP variants can be specified with conductive hoses, grounded tooling, oil-free pump options, and high-efficiency filtration.
Dust Capture
Point-source dust collection
Donaldson Torit cartridge collectors can be integrated at drill, router, and laser stations to capture fine dust near the source.
Demo
On-site demo program
TVD brings a 10 HP portable demo unit on-site at $3,000/month or $1,500/week to prove 60-70 inWG on 1-2 machines before capex commitment.
TVD Approach
Schedule Free Site Assessment
Engineering, retrofit, and service for uptime-sensitive electronics plants.
The right vacuum plan depends on the tool mix, number of simultaneous users, target vacuum at heads, filtration load, cleanroom class, ESD program, and whether the facility is extending an existing Spencer system or validating a replacement.
Map every process tool
We review drill, router, laser, assembly, and maintenance points before sizing producers, pipe runs, separators, and controls.
Filter for fine electronics debris
FR-4, copper, fiberglass, broken bits, component leads, and FOD risk each change the separator, filter, and tool specification.
Support the system after install
TVD helps with filter schedules, pump rotation, emergency support, Spencer retrofit work, and future inlet additions as production expands.
Designed around the standards electronics teams already manage.
TVD does not promise blanket compliance. We design vacuum, filtration, and cleanup systems to support the particulate, housekeeping, ESD, and electrical objectives your team is already managing.

Common Questions
What electronics teams usually ask first.
These answers keep the page focused on measurable vacuum fit, existing-system support, demo validation, and cleanroom-adjacent controls.
What vacuum level do PCB tools usually need?
A practical target is 50-70 inWG at drill, router, and laser heads. TVD verifies that at the machine, not only at the pump.
Can TVD service our existing Spencer system?
Yes. TVD services existing Spencer systems with maintenance, parts, motor rebuilds, ducting changes, controls updates, and retrofit planning.
Can we test a DuroVac system before capex?
Yes. TVD can bring a 10 HP portable demo unit on-site at $3,000/month or $1,500/week to validate 60-70 inWG on 1-2 machines. The unit requires 480V 3-phase power.
Do we need central, portable, or point-source collection?
It depends on tool count, simultaneous users, cleanroom zone, FOD risk, pipe runs, and whether the dust is generated at predictable machine heads or during flexible cleanup work.
Can these systems support cleanroom and ESD objectives?
They can support those objectives when specified with cleanroom-compatible materials, conductive hoses, grounded tooling, and HEPA or ULPA filtration where needed.
Free Site Assessment
Schedule Free Site Assessment
Protect yield, uptime, and cleanroom discipline.
Bring TVD into the facility early to review tool count, vacuum levels, filtration requirements, Spencer service needs, and whether a 10 HP portable demo makes sense before capex.
