Description

This machine has been designed to collect shavings, scraps,
dust and various waste materials.
It is mounted on tough rubber wheels, two of which swivel in
order to make the machine easy to handle. It also has brakes
to safely stop the machine in place of use.
The vacuum has been designed and built to operate in
industrial environment where it can work round the clock or
intermittently, for normal cleaning purposes.
The vacuumed material is subjected to a centrifugal action
inside the container where the coarser items fall owing to their
weight.
The air passes through a filtering surface where solids in
suspension are retained.
The pressure gauge installed on the machine warns the
operator of the filter conditions: an increase in pressure
corresponds to a reduction in the filtering power of the filter.
Nilfisk-Advance can supply machines able to work with fluids
and corrosive substances, or in environments with a high risk
of explosion. Machines with absolute filters are also available.
The high quality of the vacuum cleaner is guaranteed by the
strictest tests. Materials and components which are subjected
to a series of strict inspections during the various production
phases in order to ascertain compliance with the established
high quality standards.
