Questions You Should Know about Large Industrial Vacuums

The industrial vacuum cleaner is an indispensable tool for the cleanliness and safety of various industrial working environments. Indeed, it enables the removal of dusty residues or processing waste of different materials and different shapes on floors, machine tools and other surfaces, ensuring a clean and safe environment. There are a variety of models of vacuum cleaners, divided mainly by area of application and type of material being vacuumed. Before purchasing, it is important to understand what items to consider.

Below are 7 most frequently asked questions that we are asked by our customers when purchasing an industrial vacuum cleaner.

Suction performance is one of the most crucial aspects to consider. It is important to evaluate the vacuum cleaner’s ability to effectively remove different types of debris, dust, and liquids. Suction performance can be determined by the power of the motor, the quality of the filters, and the overall design of the vacuum cleaner. Ensuring that the vacuum cleaner you choose can handle the type of material you intend to vacuum is critical to ensure efficient and smooth operation.

Motor power is another determining factor in choosing an industrial vacuum cleaner. There are motors with different power ratings, generally expressed in watts or horsepower (HP). A more powerful motor can handle heavier tasks and vacuum heavier materials, but it can also consume more power. It is essential to balance the power of the motor with your specific needs to avoid buying a vacuum cleaner that is oversized or insufficient for the job at hand.

Energy consumption is an important consideration, especially if the vacuum cleaner will be used frequently or for extended periods. A vacuum cleaner with high energy consumption can significantly increase operating expenses. Many modern models are designed to be more energy efficient, offering a good balance between power and consumption. Checking technical specifications and looking for models certified for energy efficiency can help reduce costs in the long run.

The noise level is another factor that should not be underestimated, especially if the vacuum cleaner will be used in noise-sensitive environments, such as laboratories. The noise level of vacuum cleaners is measured in decibels (dB). Opting for a model with a lower noise level can help create a more comfortable and less stressful work environment. Some vacuum cleaners, such as those from iVision Vacuum, are equipped with advanced noise reduction technologies. By studying upper tanks and optimizing internal fluid dynamics, these models are able to significantly reduce the noise produced during suction.

The mobility and maneuverability of the vacuum cleaner are crucial, especially if you have to move the unit frequently from one area to another or if you have to operate in confined spaces. Features such as the weight of the vacuum cleaner, the presence of swivel wheels, the length of the power cord, and the ergonomics of the handles can significantly affect ease of use. A compact vacuum cleaner that is well designed for mobility reduces operator fatigue and increases operational efficiency.

The accessories included with the vacuum cleaner can make a big difference in its versatility and its ability to tackle various tasks. Common accessories include different types of nozzles, extension tubes, extra filters and dust collection bags. Checking which accessories come standard and which can be purchased separately in the premium configuraizon helps to better understand the overall value of the vacuum cleaner and ensure that it is suitable for all the intended applications.

Ease of maintenance and cleaning is an essential aspect of ensuring that the vacuum cleaner operates efficiently over time. A design that provides easy access to filters, collection tank, and other critical parts simplifies routine maintenance. It is also important to consider the availability and cost of replacement parts, such as filters and bags, to avoid maintenance problems in the future. An easy-to-maintain vacuum cleaner helps extend its service life and maintain high performance.

Particularly in industrial settings, to meet even the most demanding, large-scale facility needs, industrial vacuum cleaners must be heavy-duty, durable appliances which are frequently custom designed. Industrial vacuums come in different types to fill various demands such as the following:

• Pick up spilled liquid
• Pick up solid particles
• Pick up both dry and wet materials
• Lift heavy or light loads

So, the question arises… Which industrial vacuum is appropriate for your needs? By examining the information below, you will be able to make a more informed decision.

Examine the Maximum Capacity

What kind of capacity will you require? For example, there are wet/dry vacuums that, where big jobs are common, have an up to 55-gallon capacity.

Designed to lift dry loads only, dry vacuums pick up things like dust, fine powders, and other dry particles and filter them.

Consider things like pumps, tilt tanks, and other features when selecting a wet vacuum. These are specially built to handle liquids with a waterproof canister design.

How Much Power Do You Need?

The power of a vacuum is designated by more than just horsepower. These factors matter as well:

Measuring a vacuum's static lift is more important than the CFM. High lift specifications will be held by vacuums designed for lifting heavy metals or liquids. The higher the lift, the lower the CFM.

CFM – cubic feet per minute – is how airflow speed is measured. Inside the vacuum, force draws and collects particles. The higher the airflow CFM, the more volume of particles you can expect to collect. This applies in situations where you're picking up dust particles, flour, fine particles, etc.

 Filtration Systems

Many of the questions asked by individuals seeking industrial vacuums revolve around filtration. In some cases, either a standard HEPA filter may be required – or possibly even a ULPA filter – to make sure contaminants do not flow through the air in a facility. Let's look at these filters:

UPLA filter – The letters here stand for ultra-low penetration air filter. By removing no less than 99.99% of particles, these are more efficient than the HEPA filter described below. They even pick up particles as small as 0.12 micrometers in diameter. With a speed that does not exceed 0.025 micrometers per second, the filtering must be slow to ensure high-quality cleaning. Where critical cleaning is positively required, these filters are usually used in settings such as clean room applications.

HEPA filter – Here the letters stand for high-efficiency particulate air filter. According to OSHA, particles of 0.3 micrometers in diameter must be removed with a 99.97% efficiency. How small is that? It's a tiny dot. Smaller than a grain of cayenne pepper or coffee ground. Hazardous substances like dust mites are what HEPA filters were originally created to capture.

What Application Will the Vacuum Be Used In?

Match your specific application with the specifications and features of your industrial vacuum for the highest level of customer satisfaction and best product performance. Every detail counts from the largest piece of scrap to the smallest grain of powder. Your decision will become easier the more you educate yourself on the application in which the vacuum will be used. The type of material you're collecting can make a difference.

Ordinarily, the following can be safely handled by industrial vacuum cleaners:

• Sawdust
• Food particles
• Spices and flour
• Paint powder
• Dust and debris
• Floodwater
• Coolant
• Metal chips and scrap metal

Are Special Features Required?

Here are some special features and questions that you may want to consider when choosing an industrial vacuum:

• Are ULPA and HEPA filters available/needed?
• Are you in need of a “clean room” vacuum system?
• Do you require an explosion and static proof model?
• For easier disposal, would you make use of tilts and special pumps?
• Got hard-to-reach spaces? For easier access, consider quick connect wands.
• For less stress on wrists and hands – for hands-free carrying – consider portable backpack vacuums.
• For CNC machining industries, coolant filtering is available.

By closely examining all of the above-stated information, you should be able to gain a good understanding of what's required of the industrial vacuum for your needs and setting.
