Remote inspection camera secures safer, smarter overhead cleaning
Industrial maintenance and cleaning specialist Goodway Technologies has launched the VAC-DIV2-CAMKIT, a remote, extended-reach, high-resolution inspection camera designed to make overhead cleaning and inspection safer, faster, and more effective.
Overhead areas - such as beams, ductwork and rafters - are notorious for collecting dust and debris that can pose operational and safety risks. According to Goodway and its expert tips on overhead vacuum cleaning, proper inspection is the first step to maintaining a clean and compliant facility. However, traditional methods often require ladders or lifts, increasing labour costs and safety hazards.
The VAC-DIV2-CAMKIT solves these challenges by transforming Goodway's carbon fibre extension wand into a powerful inspection tool. Key features include:
• High-resolution camera for live video and still images streamed to a smartphone
• Extended reach for ground-level inspections - eliminating the need for ladders or lifts
• Onboard storage for before-and-after documentation, supporting internal audits and cleaning verification
• Easy integration with Goodway vacuum systems for seamless cleaning and inspection
While NFPA 660 - the new consolidated standard for combustible dust-emphasises proactive housekeeping and documentation, the VAC-DIV2-CAMKIT helps facilities take practical steps toward compliance by facilitating safe, efficient inspections without disrupting operations.
"Visibility is critical for effective cleaning and preventing combustible dust explosions," argues Eric Potorski, industrial vacuum specialist at Goodway Technologies. "This tool gives operators the confidence to identify problem areas and verify cleaning results, all while staying safely on the ground."
The VAC-DIV2-CAMKIT is ideal for industries where dust control is essential, including food processing, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing.
