systeco is the manufacturer of the patented vacuum blasting process (negative pressure blasting) using the Tornado ACS system for environmentally friendly surface cleaning. The process operates without high pressure, without water, and without chemical cleaners – clean, controlled, and gentle on materials.

When renovating natural stone staircases, it is particularly important that the stairs remain accessible. Cleaning in areas with public traffic is often unavoidable. While grinding generates a significant amount of dust, the removal of dirt with the Tornado ACS cleaning technology is completely dust-free. This clearly highlights the fact that the Tornado ACS is not a high-pressure cleaner. Thanks to the closed-loop system of the Tornado ACS cleaning machine, no granulate escapes to the outside. The cleaning machine is used to remove all stubborn types of dirt. Limescale, rust, and residues of floor polish are removed easily and in an environmentally friendly manner during staircase cleaning.

Renovation of a sandstone staircase

This sandstone staircase near Potsdamer Platz in Berlin was cleaned and then professionally sealed while in public use. The work was carried out by the company Walzer from Fürstenwalde using the Tornado ACS vacuum blasting technology. The staircase remained permanently accessible during the work, which led to many inquiries about the system and further orders for the Walzer company.

The systeco cleaning technology vacuum blasting process is the ideal alternative to pressure washing and dry ice blasting. Due to the closed circuit of the vacuum blasting system, neither dirt nor granulate can escape.

With this sustainable cleaning system, working indoors is possible without any problems.

The terrazzo staircase must be completely freed of dirt and polish residues. This is not a stair cleaning, but a staircase restoration. Until now, the staircase has been ground, which resulted in a considerable exposure to dust in the entire stairwell. In addition, the staircase restoration must be carried out in public, which was previously a major hindrance for pedestrians.

The cleaning machine Tornado ACS manages the staircase cleaning dust-free and without barriers. The stairs can be used easily during cleaning. The noise level is about that of a vacuum cleaner industry. It is blasted with aluminumsilicate AS 90 or jet glass SG 150.

Staircase renovation with natural stone – eco-friendly, gentle, and effective

Renovating natural stone staircases is often challenging: contaminants such as limescale, mineral deposits, buildup, and general dirt need to be thoroughly removed without damaging the sensitive surface. At the same time, many property owners, facility managers, and businesses are looking for an environmentally friendly cleaning method – without aggressive chemicals, without water, and without high pressure.

With systeco’s patented vacuum blasting technology, this is exactly what’s possible.

Renovating Natural Stone Stairs Without Chemicals, Water, or High Pressure

Vacuum blasting is a closed-loop cleaning method that is particularly suitable for cleaning and restoring natural stone staircases. It uses a special granulate made from natural minerals that can be reused up to 100 times.

How the process works for natural stone stair renovation:

- The granulate is directed onto the soiled steps using negative pressure
- At the same time, the granulate and loosened contaminants are immediately extracted
- Dirt, limescale, mineral deposits, and other buildup are removed gently
- The surface of the natural stone staircase is cleaned without being damaged

An important practical advantage: the staircase remains accessible during cleaning. In addition, no special occupational safety measures are generally required.

Advantages of Vacuum Blasting Technology for Natural Stone Stair Renovation

Compared to conventional methods using high-pressure cleaners or chemical cleaning agents, systeco’s technology offers clear advantages:

1. Gentle Cleaning of Natural Stone

The surface is cleaned without unnecessarily attacking it. This is especially important for sensitive or high-quality natural stone staircases.

2. Environmentally Friendly Stair Renovation

The process works without chemicals, water, or high pressure, significantly reducing environmental impact and disruption to the surrounding area.

3. Closed-Loop System

Cleaning is carried out in a closed system. This means that contaminants and granulate are immediately collected – ensuring a clean, controlled process without additional environmental pollution.

4. High Cleaning Performance

Even stubborn contaminants such as limescale, mineral deposits, or deeply embedded buildup can be removed effectively.

5. Cost-Effective and Practical

Thanks to the reusable granulate and controlled cleaning process, the method is not only sustainable but also economically attractive.
