How and Why a Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Saves You Time and Money

We are in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis that is affecting everyone, with a combination of price rises in food, petrol and — most of all — energy. It is hitting businesses and consumers, all of whom are looking for ways to save money.

If you are an industrial or agricultural business with a large premises, you know how much cleaning there is to do, particularly if your operations create a lot of mess such as dust, dirt, mud, muck, debris or other detritus.

That’s where a Big Brute industrial vacuum can help you save both time and money.

In these challenging times, a Big Brute can slash the staff-hours you spend on cleaning yet leave you with better results.

The Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner — A Real Money Saver

The old way of cleaning any premises is simply to take a broom and sweep up. In a large warehouse, for example, this is a never-ending task, that throws clouds of dust into the air for your staff to breathe in, and the place doesn’t even feel that much cleaner afterwards.

It’s in situations like these that a normal domestic vacuum cleaner wouldn’t have the power, size, or robustness to do an adequate job, and would need to be emptied often.

What that means, is that you’re paying those staff for all those hours spent cleaning. How much more efficient would it be if one person could achieve far better results in a fraction of the time?

That’s exactly what our Big Brute vacuum cleaners provide.

With three motors, each machine has a cleaning power of 3.6kW, delivering extremely powerful suction, while the drum in our standard models can take up to 170 litres of dust, debris or even wet waste — though we have larger models with a capacity of up to 1,000 litres. When coupled with the quick, effective method of emptying, this drastically reduces cleaning time.

Big Brute customers have been delighted by how much money they’ve saved. For example, according to Whites Speedicook, a large producer of breakfast cereals says:

“Before the Big Brute, we used to have small vacuums on each floor which had limited suction and dust bags which needed to be emptied constantly. We purchased a Big Brute Popular and we’ve been amazed at how efficient this system is — no more running up and down flights of stairs to empty dust bags!

“We now have one machine doing the job of four. The Big Brute allows us to work more efficiently by using less machinery, fewer staff-hours and virtually no maintenance.”

How Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaners Save You Time

Saving money saving is very important, especially in the current economic climate, but Big Brute industrial vacuum cleaners offer another type of saving that’s just as important — time saving.

Of course, saving time can result in saving money, since it allows you to reduce labour costs. On the other hand, rather than cutting those costs, you might choose instead to deploy your labour to tasks that are far more important than pushing a broom or a basic vacuum around your premises.

How many jobs are there around the place that really need to be done — but for which you don’t have the staff-hours to address them? The time you save on cleaning by using Big Brute’s power, capacity and efficiency can give you back that time allowing your whole business to run so much more efficiently for getting those jobs done.

This is what Glenvale Waste found with their Big Brute Wet & Dry. Managing Director Pat Hughes said:

“We use our Big Brute to clean up sewage from outside properties and for cleaning up under-floor flooding.

“We’ve also used it around the workshop cleaning floors, emptying the garage pit, which is prone to flooding, and cleaning out our fleet of lorries.

“We had previously used the lorry tankers to do these jobs, but now the lorries are freed up to do the bigger jobs, saving us time and money.”

Big Brutes Go On and On (and On)

It’s all very well to save time and money with powerful, quick and efficient cleaning, but that won’t help if your industrial vacuum cleaners are constantly breaking down and needing to be replaced.

So how does a Big Brute perform in terms of durability?

Durability is built in as a key feature of our Big Brute hoovers, which is especially valuable in the current economic situation. Many of our customers are still using their original Big Brute vacuum cleaner after ten years or more — like Leimert Australia’s Roseworthy South Australian plant, for instance.

Leimert Australia first bought their Popular Big Brute, along with fifteen metres of suction hose and a Floor, Wall & Ceiling Kit back in 2001. Fifteen years later, it was still going strong.

And this isn’t even an exceptional case. We know of customers whose Big Brute is still in regular use after thirty years.

Not only do we uphold the highest design and manufacturing standards, but also because we offer ongoing maintenance support. Our website provides clear guidelines to diagnose and fix simple problems yourself, and we can supply whatever spare parts you need. Alternatively, we’re always happy to undertake more substantial repairs and have your vacuum up and running again quickly.

Big Brute — a Long-Term Investment

We can’t help being proud of how well our Big Brute industrial vacuum cleaners do the job they’re designed for, saving our customers time and money — especially now, when that’s so crucial. The machines are 100% serviceable and all parts are replaceable. We even go as far as having an article on how to fix a Big Brute hose, showing just how much we believe in these principals.

If you’re looking for a long-term investment that can be customised to your needs and offer money saving and time saving both in the short term and for many years to come, get in touch with us here at the home of the Big Brute – Michael Williams Engineering – to find out more.
