Why you need a custom vacuum for cleaning office equipment

The xerographic process relies on creating a positive and negative electric charge to transport toner to the photoreceptor and ultimately transfer toner onto paper. Because toner works with static charge, a specialized grounded vacuum is needed to safely vacuum toner and office equipment. Moving toner in a regular or ordinary vacuum can build static and lead to shocks, small explosions or even a fire. In addition, toner particles are exceptionally small (as small as .3 microns) and require special filtration to avoid the potential of clogging filters and/or spewing dust back into the air.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) vacuums are engineered to provide static electricity to be grounded. With the appropriate ESD vacuum, you are able to safely vacuum toner and other dust and particles found in copiers and printers.
