Professional vacuum cleaners ranges

The classes are divided into Class L, Class M and Class H detailed as follows:

Difference between L/M and H class
This classification is governed by the standard EN 60335-2-69
L - low risk
Dust with exposure limit value > 1 mg/m3

Vacuum cleaners for dry dust and Hepa filtration

The professional vacuum cleaner with Hepa filtration is designed for vacuuming fine dust and dry debris. The vacuum cleaner is often equipped with advanced filtration systems, such as HEPA filters, to capture the finest particles. Indeed, since the Covid pandemic , the notion of fine suspended particles and in particular viruses have become a major issue in hygiene, thus favoring vacuum cleaners equipped with Hepa type H13 filters.
This Hepa filtration issue has also impacted the ranges ofelectric hand dryers and more particularly the pulsed air hand dryers .

Vacuum cleaners for liquids - water and dust

These vacuum cleaners have a dual function because they can vacuum both dust and liquids such as water. They are particularly suitable in the case of floor stripping operations, flooding or simply when water or liquids are spilled on the floor. However , special care must be taken when switching from water to dust by adding the dust filter on certain models so as not to damage the motor. In fact, generally a water and dust vacuum cleaner is often only dedicated to liquids to avoid this kind of inconvenience. It is therefore best to use a vacuum cleaner for dust and a vacuum cleaner for liquids...

Vacuum cleaners for hazardous waste type class H asbestos

Intended for the collection of toxic materials such as asbestos, dangerous or explosive , these vacuum cleaners are equipped with filters and special containment systems to ensure the safety of the user and the environment. They are often intended for the removal of asbestos from premises and require asbestos kit equipment or disposable category III suit suitable for the user.
Explosion-proof vacuum cleaners type Atex 22
Designed for use in environments with a risk of explosion such as shooting ranges, explosives factories or industries related to weapons, spark zones, and sometimes even in the bakery sector (flour), these vacuum cleaners are manufactured with non-spark producing materials and have specific safety systems to prevent any risk of deflagration in these sensitive areas.

Safety vacuum cleaners
A so-called safety vacuum cleaner is classified according to the European standard EN 60335-2-69 which defines dust classes according to their exposure limit value (ELV). The occupational ELV represents, for a given substance, the maximum admissible concentration in the air of the workplace, where the worker is required to work for a whole day; it is calculated in relation to a reference period of eight hours, weighted average over time.
The lower the ELV of a dust, the more dangerous the dust is.

ATEX Zone 22 - Risks related to explosive dusts St1, St2 and St3 in zone 22.
In any case, we advise you to choose models that offer good ergonomics and ease of maintenance for intensive and professional use. You will find in our Voussert catalog many models of professional vacuum cleaners, which will meet all your needs.
Pneumatic vacuum cleaners
Operating on compressed air rather than mains power, these vacuum cleaners are ideal for areas where electricity is not available or poses an explosion risk.
