Industrial Vacuums
Our industrial vacuums combine Italian engineering with German components to deliver 10+ years of reliable performance. Designed for 24/7 operation in pharmaceutical, food processing, and chemical environments, these units feature M-class filtration capturing 99.9% of particles down to 1 micron. The range includes single-phase and three-phase models with power outputs from 2-7.5kW, suitable for both standard and ATEX-certified applications.
ATEX Vacuums
ATEX-certified vacuum systems designed for operation in explosive atmospheres. Available in Zone 20/22 classifications, these units feature anti-static components, conductive hoses, and third-party TV certification. The PUMA series handles heavy materials in harsh conditions while maintaining compliance with DSEAR regulations and HSE requirements across chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing sectors.
Floor Sweepers
Italian-manufactured floor sweepers with 10+ year durability for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and logistics centres. Available in manual, battery, and diesel options with cleaning capacities up to 10,140m/hour. Features include vacuum filtration technology capturing 99% of fine dust particles and IP65-rated components for UK weather conditions, with models suitable for food safety and pharmaceutical cleanroom environments.
Scrubber Dryers
High-efficiency scrubber dryers with ECOsystem technology reducing water consumption by 70%. Available as walk-behind or ride-on models with cleaning widths from 360-1000mm. Designed for 10+ year operation in food processing, pharmaceutical, and warehouse environments, featuring NSF-certified components, stainless steel construction, and single-pass drying that leaves floors dry in 60 seconds.
Oil Extraction
Specialist oil and swarf extraction systems for metalworking applications. These units feature integrated liquid discharge systems with level control and screened baskets for separating metal chips from cutting oils. Designed for continuous operation in machine tool environments, with models available for tank cleaning, coolant replenishment, and heavy-duty swarf removal in foundries and CNC machining centres.
Questions
What industries require ATEX-certified vacuum equipment?
ATEX vacuums are essential for pharmaceutical manufacturing (API dust), chemical processing (reactive powders), food/grain handling (flour mills), metalworking (aluminum dust), and any facility handling combustible dust over 500g/m³. UK DSEAR regulations mandate their use in these zones.
How do Italian industrial vacuums achieve longer lifespans?
Our vacuums use over-engineered German motors rated for 20,000+ hours, stainless steel anti-spark construction, and undergo rigorous TÜV testing. This results in 10+ year lifespans versus 3-4 years for standard imports.
What are the benefits of ECOsystem® scrubber technology?
ECOsystem® recycles cleaning solution, reducing water and chemical use by 70%. For a 10,000m² facility, this saves £2,400 annually in consumables and £800 in labour through fewer refill stops.
Can industrial sweepers replace pressure washing?
Sweepers remove 95% of dry debris, reducing pressure washing frequency by 75%. For optimal hygiene in food/pharmaceutical facilities, combine daily sweeping with weekly washing for lowest total cost.
What maintenance do ATEX vacuums require?
Quarterly earthing continuity checks (resistance <10 ohms), annual TÜV recertification, and daily visual inspections. Italian build quality ensures major components last 10+ years, unlike cheaper alternatives needing motor replacements every 3-4 years.
