Gun range cleaning

[Aston Rayfield]

Hi Folks,

My local gun club needs cleaning and apparently you need sparkles vacuums to to it as there is a chance of airbourne particles igniting. Any advice on what vac I should but that's good value for money.

TIA

Unless you’re doing this sort of work regularly
Look at hiring one from a hire shops
They will have specialists equipment for hazardous jobs.

Thanks Darren, it would be club funds and then become the club vacuum as I'm a member there. Looking for and vac recommendations, cheers.

Numatic must have what your looking for. Give them a bell

Presumably this is an indoor range.
Be very careful as the dust on the range floor will be mainly lead.
We have been trying to get the owner of a range a club I belong to clean it up as it is a few mm thick down the sides.

My god,they ain't cheap. Looks like nilfisk do some. Attix range. Looking for 'atex' certified. (ATmospheric EXplosives ).

Yeah, they seem to be 2.5k plus vat

I'd also be thinking/researching how you would responsibly then dispose of said waste when machine full etc.

@Jamie Biles the Co that have quoted a price but leave the soiling etc at the club as its deemed to be non hazardous.
