Cleaning up Engineering Workshops with a Big Brute

Engineering covers a huge number of different industries. But like all industries, they make a mess.

If your engineering processes leave a mess that you want gone, have a look at the Big Brute industrial vacuum cleaners.

We’ve a whole range of Big Brutes that will cope with cleaning up engineering workshops – whether you need to vacuum up swarf, recover oils and coolants, or even want to filter and recycle your cutting fluids, there’s a Big Brute that can help.


Big Brute Wet & Dry

The Big Brute industrial wet and dry vacuum cleaner is an ideal all-rounder that cleans your floors of dust and liquid spills.

Its drainage valve on the rear lets you conveniently empty it, draining of the liquid leaving the solids behind.

Add a Wet & Dry Floor, Wall and Ceiling Kit – a collection of cleaning tools that helps you clean every square inch of your building from top to bottom. Clean in and around racking and reach up to window ledges and sills to clean all that dust that’s settled up there.

If you’ve got large floor areas to clean, add a front-mounted floor brush or a floor-squeegee to clean the floor in one pass as you push. In dry mode, this cleans without stirring dust up into the air.
