The term ‘industrial vacuum’ covers a wide range of applications. After all, most industries produce some sort of dust or dirt that requires the right vacuum cleaning apparatus in order for it to be disposed of properly. As a result, not all industrial vacuums are built to meet the same requirements. Before choosing a model for your company, it’s worth considering just what you need. Here are some of the main types of industrial vacuum, and how they can assist you.
Industrial wet and dry vacuum cleaners
Wet and dry vacuum cleaners do exactly what the name suggests. Whilst other vacuums are tailored to a specific task, these machines can handle most non-hazardous cleaning jobs on their own. They are popular for general cleaning, as well as more defined roles. If you have a particular vacuum requirement in mind for your business, they can be tailored to meet those needs.
ATEX vacuum cleaners
Our range of Nilfisk ATEX vacuum cleaners are specially designed to operate in an explosive atmosphere. They are certified to meet all health and safety regulations for working in such an environment, as laid down in the ATEX directives under EU guidelines. Because ATEX covers a range of situations, these vacuum cleaners can be modified to meet the exact circumstances encountered in your workplace as identified by a risk assessment.
Hazardous dust vacuum cleaners
Hazardous dust vacuum cleaners are crucial for any company working with low, medium, or high risk hazardous dust. These devices incorporate a hyper-efficient filtration system, ensuring the capture of between 99% – 99.995% of dust and fibre particles, depending on filter type, thus protecting you and your workforce and helping to ensure you are meeting your legal health & safety requirements.
Oil and swarf vacuum cleaners
These are a popular choice for engineering plants or, indeed, any site which requires the collection of oil and swarf in volume. These specially-designed vacuum cleaners make short work of metal shavings and swarf, as well as emulsion and cutting oil. Once collected, you can use macro-filtration to separate the liquid and solid components, allowing you to reuse the emulsion, making this an ecologically-friendly, as well as cost-saving, vacuuming solution.
