Wet and dry vacuum cleaners are now essential tools for collecting large quantities of residues, both solid and liquid, such as plastics, metals, rubble, water and oil.
Their ability to vacuum up all kinds of dirt has made them very important tools in the construction industry as well.
In fact, in this category are collected all heavy-duty vacuum cleaners for construction sites models.
The composition of a professional vacuum cleaner drum consists of:
Now, let us take a look at the main features to be considered when purchasing vacuum cleaners for construction sites.
First, the maximum power and the amount of air suctioned must be taken into account. Models intended for construction sites often have more than one motor and are therefore capable of releasing powers of up to 3000 watts.
Another key factor when purchasing a vacuum cleaner is the volume of air sucked in. This amount is expressed in litres/second and varies according to the size of the hole in the pipe; the larger the diameter of the hole, the greater the volume of air sucked in and the less power required.
A further parameter to be assessed in advance is the capacity of the collection drum. A greater drum capacity will result in the possibility of working with fewer interruptions due to emptying. In this category, we range from smaller models with a capacity of up to 30 litres to larger models with up to 70 litres.
Various accessory functions are also available for the vacuum cleaners to further facilitate the work phases. The most common are the power tool socket, which is very useful especially in the working environment, as it allows additional tools such as drills, sanders, etc.
to be connected to the drum. Another popular function is the ability to tilt the drum for easier and faster emptying.
Finally, the tool compartment proves to be a very convenient function for machining. It consists of an accessory compartment at the base of the drum, allowing you to place the various accessories you use.
