Not too long ago, we got a call from the Department of Corrections in the US.
Now, before your imagination runs wild, no, it wasn’t about us getting into any trouble. Quite the opposite, actually.
The caller from the Department had something else in mind.
Picture this: a brand-spanking new indoor firing range, sprawling over 19,000 sq. ft. (Yeah, that’s nearly as grand as seven tennis courts laid end to end!). But with every shot fired, a not-so-tiny problem arose – lead dust.
Now, if you know a thing or two about lead dust, you’ll agree it’s not the kind of dust you want sticking around.
Breathing it in? No, thank you.
That’s where we come into the picture.
The caller was on the hunt for a powerhouse vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to tackle this pesky lead dust.
The twist?
Disposing of lead dust isn’t your run-of-the-mill dustbin job.
It calls for a specialist contractor to whisk it away, adhering to some pretty strict disposal guidelines.
So, after learning more about the ins and outs of a firing range, and gathering all the deets, we pointed the caller and his team towards the Centaur Falcon-5 Vacuum.
And here’s why it stole the show:
- Direct Disposal: Simply collect the lead dust directly into a strong garbage bag, seal it, and it’s ready for safe disposal. Easy-peasy, and no risk of it going airborne when emptying the vacuum tank.
- Built for the Big Leagues: With a tank that can hold up to 50 litres (13 Gallons), the Falcon-5 is a beast that’s just right for their vast 19,000 sq. ft. facility.
- A True Workhorse: Not just a vacuum, but a mobile cleaning station. The Falcon-5 comes with a tool caddy, making it a breeze to move around, armed with the necessary tools and accessories for the job.
- HEPA, but Make It Last: The Falcon-5 doesn’t just have any HEPA filter it boasts a LARGE pleated one. More surface area means it catches more dust and lasts longer before you even need to think about replacing it.

In the world of cleanup operations, especially those involving something as tricky as lead dust, it’s all about having the right partner in crime (figuratively speaking, of course).
And that’s a role we’re proud to fill. 🙂
Stay safe and breathe easy.
