Industrial vacuum: a key element for efficiency and safety in industrial environments

Industrial vacuuming is an indispensable process in many sectors . By specifically removing unwanted particles, dust and other contaminants, industrial vacuum cleaning ensures efficient cleaning and contributes to the durability of equipment. Its crucial role in preserving safety and hygiene, as well as optimizing production processes, makes it an indispensable asset in the industrial world.

 

What is industrial vacuuming?

Industrial vacuuming is carried out by means of a vacuum cleaner sized and adapted to an industrial installation. Industrial vacuum cleaners and carrier-mounted vacuum cleaners are used to capture and remove contaminants present in industrial or professional environments. These contaminants may be in the form of solid particles. The vacuum cleaner used may or may not be mobile, depending on requirements.

It's important to note that industrial suction focuses on the suction of materials, as distinct from industrial pumping, which is dedicated to the suction of fluids and liquids.

 

How does industrial extraction work?

Industrial vacuuming is based on the use of specific equipment such as industrial vacuum cleaners. The aim is to capture dust and particles from certain demanding industrial work environments. The industrial vacuuming process comprises several stages: 

  • It begins by capturing contaminants and dust using a special cleaner,

  • The dust is then transported via dedicated ducts or pipes,

  • In this way, they arrive at their final storage location or a suitable treatment system.

Carrier-mounted industrial suction: mobility and flexibility for industry

The carrier-mounted industrial vacuum represents an efficient solution in the industrial cleaning sector. This configuration combines a powerful vacuum unit with a carrier, enhancing the flexibility of operations in industrial environments. Operating like a mobile platform, this configuration offers a large storage volume and a high suction flow rate.

This machine not only collects powders and dry materials with grain sizes of up to 150 mm, but also boasts an impressive flow rate of 9,000 m3 per hour, a reach height of up to 30 or 40 meters, and an internal storage capacity of 4 to 12 m2. The result is an optimum combination of power, flexibility and material management to meet the varied requirements of the industrial environment.

As experts in industrial cleaning, Onet's trucks are also ATEX-certified, guaranteeing maximum safety in potentially explosive environments.

Optimize the management of vacuumed materials for a positive environmental impact

One approach is to re-inject the vacuumed materials directly into the manufacturing process, thus promoting a circular use of resources. Another is to store these materials in silos or other relevant locations (such as buffer silos) according to their capacity, offering solutions for reusing the material.

Other types of industrial vacuum cleaner and their applications

 

Wet and dry vacuum cleaners

Industrial wet/dry vacuum cleaners are products designed to extract both liquids and solid particles. This type of cleaner is suited to production environments where both types of component can exist in conjunction. 

Single- and three-phase industrial vacuum cleaners

The choice of a single-phase or three-phase industrial vacuum cleaner will depend on the size of your industrial installation. A single-phase unit is best suited to small installations or environments where electrical power is limited. On the other hand, a vacuum cleaner running on three-phase current will be more powerful. It's ideal for larger industrial environments, such as production plants or warehouses.

High vacuum and compressed air vacuums

High-vacuum industrial vacuum cleaners are designed to extract very fine, light particles (similar to dust). They are used in sensitive, demanding environments where dust levels are controlled to certify the quality of manufactured products. Compressed-air vacuum cleaners require no electrical connection. They are therefore often ATEX-certified, and therefore suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.

Advantages and benefits of industrial vacuuming

 

Improving safety and hygiene in industrial environments

Potential pollution of materials in the workplace can have adverse repercussions on the entire production chain. The handling of these materials can be hazardous, requiring the use of trained operatives equipped with full-face masks with assisted breathing.

Operational efficiency and equipment maintenance

Industrial suction extends the life of your equipment by reducing contamination. It also helps optimize production processes by reducing interruptions linked to cleaning and maintenance of your equipment. The automation of industrial vacuum systems means greater day-to-day productivity for your teams.

Some criteria to consider when choosing a service provider

It is imperative to choose a company specializing in industrial vacuuming, taking into account essential criteria such as :

  • Compliance with ISO 14001,

  • MASE certification,

  • ATEX certification for personnel, and the use of dedicated vehicles,

  • Euro VI compliance,

  • ...

Opting for a partner who meets these rigorous standards guarantees not only qualified expertise, but also a commitment to environmental standards, operational safety and the quality of industrial vacuum services.
