The role of an industrial vacuum cleaner takes in the types of situation that you would find in the workplace. It is designed not only for the type of surroundings that it is to be used in, but also for the type of person that is going to be using it.

This gives rise to one of the more obvious features of industrial vacuum cleaners, their robustness. This is an obligatory feature – there’s no point in enclosing one of these machines in finely designed streamlined plastic that is pleasing to the eye, because in no time at all the vacuum cleaner would be broken if used in a typical South African industrial environment.

They should rather be sturdy machines. Inside them you will always find a sturdier and more powerful motor than you would find in their domestic cousin. That’s because they are expected to work harder and for longer periods of time.

The robustness of these machines is why it sometimes makes sense to purchase an industrial vacuum cleaner for the home. Many domestic vacuum cleaners are adequate for the average home, but that is all.

In circumstances where there is extra vacuuming to be done, for example where there is a woodworking workshop on the premises, an industrial vacuum cleaner would cope with the job much better, and it does have other advantages.

The motors are up to four times as powerful as a domestic machine, and that means greater sucking power. Maintenance is frequently easier with an industrial machine, and finally, you may be surprised at the price.
