Industrial Vacuum Cleaner

A Guide to Industrial Vacuum Cleaners

The vacuum cleaner uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up deposits and has been in use since the turn of the last century. Although its origins are in the domestic market, over time it has been adapted and enhanced to be a useful tool in the field of industrial cleaning. Industrial vacuum cleaner use is not restricted just to carpets but can be used on hard floors, picking up large debris as well as smaller particles.

Industrial Vacuum Cleaner – Types

There are various types of industrial vacuum cleaners which are suitable for different applications depending upon, for example, cleaning access, the deposits being collected and noise level if in a public space. For instance in a corridor a conventional upright style cleaner may be preferable but for a large floor area a tub vacuum would be better because of its robustness and pick up power.

Industrial Vacuum Cleaner – Wet and Dry

Vacuum cleaners can not only pick up dry products. In areas where there is liquid spillage the wet and dry vacuum can be used which can collect both types of by product. This type of vacuum is adapted from one duty to the other by changing the filter and possibly the waste collection container to keep the different types of residue separate.

Industrial Vacuum Cleaner - Applications

In sectors such as healthcare, where hygiene and contamination are of paramount importance an industrial vacuum cleaner with a built in multilevel filtration system to control particulate biological contamination would be the best option. Other areas where an industrial vacuum cleaner could be used include

• Woodworking where a large tub vacuum keeps the working environment dust free
• Engineering to clean swarf and other by products from machines and the floor
• Warehouses removing dust and grime created by forklifts, people and pallets, also dealing with spillages both dry and liquid.

There are many industries that can benefit from the advantages of a modern industrial vacuum cleaner and people may be unaware of their robustness and flexibility.
