What do you need to vacuum?
Industrial vacuum cleaners are designed to vacuum a wide range of materials, including a variety of dust, solids, and liquid processing residues. The choice of the type of vacuum cleaner depends mainly on the type of material to be vacuumed and the characteristics of the working environment. Industrial vacuum cleaners are specially designed to remove one or more materials safely with specific filters to trap particles and prevent worker exposure, protecting them from inflammation and illness.

Suction of toxic and hazardous dust in total safety
Hazardous dust is a health hazard to workers and the environment in many industrial activities. To ensure effective removal of hazardous material and protect workers, industrial vacuum cleaners specifically designed to suck up these dusts are needed. Hazardous dust vacuums are equipped with special filters that can capture the finest and most dangerous particles, such as asbestos or heavy metals. These filters are designed to ensure maximum efficiency in removing hazardous particles and to prevent their spread into the work environment. In addition, hazardous dust vacuum cleaners are equipped with additional safety features, such as safety alarms, automatic shut-off systems, or safety filters, which further enhance the protection of workers and the environment.
