A Beam Vacuum system was the perfect solution to ensuring efficiency in cleaning Dublin buses.

Dublin Bus Donnybrook, Dublin is Ireland's largest transport provider with a fleet of 1100 buses and approximately 3100 employees, transporting millions of customers annually.

The Issue:

The continuous accumulation of general litter inside single and double deck buses throughout the fleet include tickets, sweet papers, general waste and potential sharp and hazardous objects.

Survey Conclusion

Beam found that a high performance continuous duty vacuum producer with sound suppression would be ideal. Supplied with 1.5m3 roll over fork lift emptying collection skip with vacuum compaction, collected level indication and quick connect, disconnect couplings were the ideal solution for this application. A trial was arranged and concluded with an order for 6 of the units specified.
