Description

Oil and swarf industrial vacuum cleaners need to quickly recover solid and liquid waste from CNC machines, lathes and milling machines.

The Big Brute Swarfman Industrial Vacuum Cleaner sucks up liquids, such as cutting fluids or oil, at the rate of approximately a gallon a second, complete with the heavy swarf chippings it contains. We designed it to meet the machine cleaning needs of large machine shops.
