Mired in mud, mess and muck?
Drowning in dust and debris?
Time for a cleanup?
An ideal tool to make your job easier would be an industrial vacuum cleaner. But when you go to Google and search on ‘industrial vacuum cleaner’ or ‘industrial hoover’ you’re going to be presented with a vast array of choices.
How do you know exactly what you need?
And with so many options, how can you be confident you’re making the right choice?
In this blog, we’re going to explain a few factors you can use to select the right industrial vacuum cleaner to meet your needs.
Type of Debris or Dirt
Think not just about the type of direct and debris you will be cleaning in this next job, but what future cleanup requirements you might have. Industrial vacuum cleaners are designed for various purposes ranging from general maintenance to heavy-duty cleaning, wet and dry waste and for specific industries like farming, warehousing or metalworking.
Ensure that the vacuum cleaner you choose is suitable for handling the types of dirt and debris materials you will encounter in your industry.
Suction Power
Considering the above, consider the suction power of the vacuum cleaner you’re going to need, because this will determine how effectively the vacuum can pick up everything from dust particles, to building site debris, farmyard slurry and chicken poo without clogging up.
For certain jobs, there’s no substitute for raw power, so look for models with higher suction power for more efficient cleaning that can really pack a punch. Some industrial vacuum cleaners benefit from the combined power of multiple motors to produce up to 3600 watts – that’s a heck of a lot of suction power.
Filtration System
The filtration system is crucial for capturing fine particles such as dust and other contaminants. Industrial vacuum cleaners typically include filters, so assess the filtration efficiency and choose a vacuum cleaner that meets your cleanliness and safety requirements.
Filters should be easy to change and clean as well, to minimise downtime on a job.
Drum Capacity and Mobility
Evaluate the drum capacity of the vacuum cleaner, as it determines how much debris it can hold before you need to power down and empty it out. Consider the size of your workspace and the frequency of use to determine an appropriate drum capacity.
Additionally, check the mobility features like the size of wheels, handle design and weight of the vacuum cleaner to ensure it can be manoeuvred easily in your workplace, both inside and outdoors.
Durability and Build Quality
Industrial vacuum cleaners should be durable enough to withstand heavy-duty use and harsh environments.
Look for models made from robust materials that can withstand the demands of your working environment and can take a bit of punishment.
Consider factors such as the quality of construction, reliability of the brand and warranty offered.
Power Source
Consider the power source options available for your industrial vacuum cleaner.
Industrial vacuum cleaners are normally powered by mains electricity so make sure there’s plenty of cable to reach back to the power source that is most convenient and suitable for your workspace, inside or out.
Accessories and Attachments
Evaluate the range of accessories and attachments that come with the vacuum cleaner based on the areas you’ll need to clean. To reach into corners, under floors, up into the rafters and into little crevices on specialist machinery, you’ll need an industrial vacuum cleaner can that be adapted to these differing jobs.
Accessories and attachments can include different nozzle types, brushes, extension wands and crevice tools. Ensure that the accessories provided meet your specific cleaning needs and can easily be attached and detached.
Maintenance and Serviceability
Look for vacuum cleaners that are easy to maintain and service. Check if the manufacturer provides support, replacement parts availability and information on routine maintenance tasks like filter cleaning or replacement.
Budget and Cost of Ownership
Determine your budget and consider the cost of ownership, including maintenance, filters, and accessories.
Balance your requirements with the long-term cost implications to make an informed decision.
