Professional vacuum cleaner bag compatibility guide brands

Professional vacuum cleaner bags: compatibility guide by brand and model

Choosing the right vacuum cleaner bag for a professional fleet—whether it's a cleaning company, a hotel chain, a local authority, a nursing home, or an industrial site—requires more than just a glance at the manufacturer's manual. The number of options is vast, packaging varies, and an unsuitable bag leads to reduced airflow, premature motor saturation, and recurring additional costs.
This guide brings together in one place the cross-references between the most widely used professional vacuum cleaner models in France (Numatic , Nilfisk, Karcher, Taski, Soteco) and specialized European brands, and the corresponding Voussert bag references. Each table specifies the packaging, cross-brand compatible models, and key points to consider that save time during after-sales service.

Identify your professional vacuum cleaner in 3 pieces of information

In professional after-sales service, accurate vacuum cleaner identification directly impacts the profitability of the order: a reference error on an order of 200 bags ties up 4 to 6 weeks of consumables budget on an unusable product. Three pieces of information are all it takes to eliminate the risk of error.

The brand and exact model number
The brand name is on the front. The exact model number is on the nameplate on the back or under the tank: Numatic NVR-200, Numatic Henry HVR-200, Nilfisk Saltix 10, Nilfisk Attix 30, Karcher T 7/1, Karcher NT 27/1, Taski Vento 15, Taski Aero Up. The front designation is insufficient; the complete model number determines the bag. For a fleet of machines, create a model-to-bag-reference file during the initial inventory.

The usable capacity in liters of the vacuum cleaner's tank
The capacity is indicated immediately after the model name: Hepaflo 6 L, 9 L, 15 L, 25 L, 27 L, or 40 L for Numatic. Attix 30, 33, 44, or 50 L for Nilfisk. Maxxi 135, 255, or 375 L for heavy industrial use. A one-liter error renders the bag unusable. Never confuse this with engine power or noise level, which often appear in the same specifications.

The type of filtration required (paper, microfiber, synthetic)
In standard commercial settings (offices, 3-star hotels, apartment buildings), a paper bag is sufficient. In sensitive environments (nursing homes, hospitals, schools, medical practices, HACCP-compliant food processing, luxury hotels), switch to microfiber bags such as Hepaflo Numatic or equivalent (0.3 µm filtration, comparable HEPA airflow). For wet and dry applications (construction, workshops, industries), synthetic or polyester bags are resistant to moisture and solvents. For asbestos removal, ATEX zones, and crystalline silica, see our dedicated Class H vacuum cleaner bag category.
With these three pieces of information noted, go to the section corresponding to your brand.

Numatic vacuum cleaner bag: Henry, Hetty, NVR, NVQ, NQS and Hepaflo range

Numatic is the leading British manufacturer of professional vacuum cleaners for commercial and industrial use. The Henry HVR, Hetty HET, NVR (Numatic Vacuum Recovery), and NVQ models are used by a majority of French cleaning companies, hotel chains, managed condominiums, and local authorities. The NQS industrial range and RSV backpack vacuums complete the product line for heavy-duty applications and large-area cleaning.
Numatic's flagship consumable is the Hepaflo bag, a 4-layer microfiber that retains 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 µm. For sensitive environments (healthcare, food processing, high-end hospitality), the Hepaflo has become the standard.

Hepaflo Numatic bags: the modern professional standard
Six capacities cover the entire Numatic range, from the compact Henry for office use to the industrial NQS 40-liter model. The usable capacity of a Hepaflo is 2 to 3 times greater than that of an equivalent paper bag, which reduces the frequency of bag changes and the total cost per liter vacuumed.

NVM paper bags and compatible microfiber alternative
For facilities still equipped with Numatic models prior to Hepaflo, or for applications where paper bags remain sufficient (short cycles, non-sensitive environments), NVM products remain in stock. A Hepaflo-compatible microfiber alternative offers savings of 30 to 35% for cleaning companies with significant annual volumes.

Numatic points of concern in professional parks
• The 905717 bag (NVM 1B/1C) equips both Henry/Hetty sled and RSV back and is useful for streamlining stock for mixed cleaning companies.
• On Henry HVR 200, switching to Hepaflo 604015 doubles the usable capacity: change every 6 to 8 weeks in the office instead of 3 to 4, i.e. 40% annual savings on consumables.
• Reference 901510 (compatible with Voussert microfiber) is laboratory tested to offer filtration equivalent to the original Hepaflo.
• For Numatic NDS class H used in asbestos removal, see our category asbestos-vacuum-bag-class-h-atex .

Nilfisk and Alto vacuum cleaner bag: GD, GM, Saltix, Attix, Multi, Maxxi, Aero

Nilfisk (with its sub-brands Nilfisk Alto, Nilfisk Blue Line, and Nilfisk Advance) is the second most widely deployed brand in the European professional market. The range covers all segments: commercial snowmobiles (GD, Saltix), industrial snowmobiles (GM 80, GS 90), wet and dry (Attix, Multi, Maxxi, WD), backpacks, and compact workshop tools (Buddy, Aero). For buyers of industrial and construction fleets, the Attix and Maxxi models are essential workhorses.

GD Series: Professional Tertiary Sleds
The original GD series remains widely used in the fleets of cleaning companies and local authorities. Five main models cover the majority of those still in operation.

GM, GS, GA Series: Industrial Canister Vacuum Cleaners

Saltix Series: Compact hotels and condominiums

Nilfisk Attix Series: Professional industrial water and dust
Attix bags are the Nilfisk industrial standard for construction, food processing, maintenance workshops, and building sites. The choice of bag depends on the exact model (Attix 7, 30, 33, 40, 44, 50, 360) and the material (synthetic for standard use, polyester for heavy-duty use).

Nilfisk Multi Series: Mixed dry and wet use workshops

Nilfisk Maxxi Series: Heavy industry and intensive construction
The Maxxi series are Nilfisk Alto's high-end industrial vacuum cleaners with a metal tank, designed for intensive construction sites, heavy industry, and production facilities with shift work. The bag is a reinforced metal cyclonic filter, emptied between cycles.

Nilfisk Aero, UZ, Alto 100 D, Buddy series

Nilfisk key considerations for major account buyers
• Reference 905231 (GD710/910/1010) also covers the older Alto 101D and HDS2000, an asset for streamlining a fleet inherited from acquisitions of cleaning companies.
• On Attix, pay attention to the distinction 33/44 (evacuation bag 107417821) vs 30/40 (107419593) a frequent confusion in after-sales service which costs an unusable order.
• The 82367820 (GD110/111/VP300) incorporates a HEPA layer to be preferred in nursing homes, hospitals and medical practices for compliance with NF S90-351.
• For Attix M (class M, crystalline silica) and Attix H (class H, asbestos), see our category /asbestos-vacuum-bag-class-h-atex with certified safety filter bags.

Karcher vacuum cleaner bags: professional T, NT, BV, TSC, TST, and VC series

Kärcher has historically supplied the German cleaning market and a large part of the European subcontracting sector. This section covers exclusively Kärcher professional models: T series (professional canister vacuum), NT series (wet and dry vacuum), BV series (backpack vacuum cleaner), TSC series, TST series, and VC series. The K series, A series, and WD series consumer models are covered in a dedicated section at the end of this guide.
All our Karcher pro bag references are certified compatible (Neutral brand, laboratory tested) with filtration equivalent to original parts, typical savings of 25 to 35 valuable when managing a fleet of 30 to 100 Karcher vacuum cleaners in a cleaning company.

T Series: Professional Tertiary Sleds

Karcher NT Series: Professional Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaners
Karcher NT pressure washers are the workhorses of the construction industry, maintenance workshops, and industrial cleaning. The NT 27/1, NT 35/1, NT 561, and NT 611 are the most common in France.

TSC, TST, VC series: professional specialized vacuum cleaners

Taski vacuum cleaner bag: Vento, Aero, Bora, Vacumat, Dorsalino, Ergodisc

Taski (a Diversey subsidiary) is a leading brand of professional cleaning equipment for cleaning companies. It is also present in 4- and 5-star hotels, restaurant chains, the hospital sector, and large cleaning companies. All models in the Taski catalog are designed exclusively for professional use; there are no consumer-grade products.

Taski Vento Series: Compact Tertiary Reference
The Vento 8 and Vento 15 are among the most widely used vacuum cleaners in hotel and restaurant chains. The choice of material (paper vs. durable fabric) affects the total cost. If you have older Baby Bora, Bora, or Bora 12 models, you will also find compatibility.

Taski Aero series and Aero BP back protector and Taski GO

Bora series, Baby Bora and cross-brand compatibility

Taski series water and dust Vacumat, Dorsalino backpack scrubber, Ergodisc single-disc scrubber

Taski's key considerations for hotel and cleaning fleets
• On the Vento 8 and 15, the long-life fabric bag (7514803/7514804) lasts three times longer than an equivalent paper bag. It's an immediate investment, but the total cost per liter vacuumed is significantly lower in a hotel environment.
• Reference 905707 is one of the most versatile in the catalog. It is fitted to Taski Baby Bora, Ghibli AS5, Cleanfix S10 and Progress P9. Ideal for cleaning companies with fleets inherited from multi-brand acquisitions.
• The Taski Go has two part numbers (7524191 original, 905055 compatible alternative Voussert).
• The 8505110 is a microfilter for Taski central vacuum systems. Specific use, do not confuse with a standard bag.
