3 Technologies relating to Dog Grooming Workstation

1. Hydraulics.
Hydraulic lifts are used in dog grooming tables to raise and lower the height easily. This allows for easy access for larger dogs to step up, or to raise the table to make grooming easier for smaller dogs.
2. Central Vacuum
This is a type of system i am exploring for my design. All the places i visited had a lot of hair on the floor. The current cleanup method is using a shop vac. In a central vac system the suction motor and bag is at a central location in the building has vacuum inlets throughout the building. In my system there would be inlets along the wall of the grooming room, where hair could be brushed to.
3. Clipper Vac
Another way to eliminate mess when it comes to dog grooming is to use a clipper vac. It's similar to a flowbee, where clippers are attached to a vacuum tube, so that the hair is cut at an even length. The hair is drawn into a central unit.
