Professional vacuum cleaners are a type of cleaning equipment used in industrial plants, service centers and for general cleaning of premises.
Devices are divided into 4 categories:
- Professional washing vacuum cleaner.
- Dry cleaning equipment.
- Model with specific functions.
- Equipment for industrial use.
Which models are the most in demand?
Professional washer vacuum cleaner is the most versatile choice. It is used for office cleaning, cleaning services, independent general cleaning of country houses and apartments, enterprises, etc. It should be noted that industrial vacuum cleaners are often separated from professional models into a separate category.
The main criteria for choosing professional vacuum cleaners
- Power that can reach 2000-7000W, while good household vacuum cleaners have a maximum of 1600W. It should be noted that the instructions for professional vacuum cleaners often indicate the power of one turbine, of which there are several in the device.
- Performance. Professional vacuum cleaners are capable of processing 50-75 liters of air per second, which is important when working in large areas.
- Degree of underpressure (mbar). This figure is higher for vacuum cleaners designed for suction of heavy dust.
- The volume of the tank and the mechanism for its cleaning. The size of the container for industrial models can reach 100 liters.
Classification of appliances according to their ability to absorb dust
Many people know such a parameter of the vacuum cleaner as power, but there is a main and more understandable criterion for the consumer: the ability to absorb different fractions of dust.
Professional vacuum cleaners are divided into 3 types according to their ability to absorb solid particles:
- L-standard equipment, capable of sucking fine dust, is used during construction and is equipped with nylon filters. Suitable for cleaning materials such as chalk, plaster, plaster.
- Category M vacuum cleaners effectively remove medium dust with a sophisticated filtration and airflow control system. The formation of medium-sized polluting particles accompanies many industries associated with metals and minerals. Their suspension in the air is dangerous for the lungs. Medium-sized dust is a typical pollutant of nuclear substations.
- H standard equipment is designed for cleaning high fraction dust containing hazardous biological agents (bacteria, fungi, including mold, carcinogen agglomerates). Utilization of such components is carried out through the formation of briquettes. Vacuum cleaners designed for cleaning suchcomponents, equipped with a sophisticated filtration system and protection against the penetration of the collected dust back into the environment.
General purpose professional vacuum cleaners are generally able to absorb medium dust. The degree of cleanliness of work of such models is lower compared to specialized ones, but they solve the problems of high-quality cleaning in ordinary premises.
Professional vacuum cleaner manufacturers
Professional vacuum cleaners Karcher (Germany) - the most famous equipment in this category. Among the manufacturers of high-quality vacuum cleaners, Delfin (Italy), Delvir (Italy), Nilfisk Advance (Denmark), Starmix (Germany) are also highlighted.
Starmix technology is as good as Karcher in many categories of professional vacuum cleaners. For example, models used in construction work. Vacuum cleaners from these companies have powerful suction turbines, a strong body, high capacity and durability. It should be noted that when cleaning coarse construction waste, Bosh and Metabo are slightly inferior to the German company in terms of reliability.

Any professional Karcher vacuum cleaner is designated by the manufacturer with the NT marking. By designation, they are easy to distinguish from household models of the K and PUZZI series. In addition to the above characteristics, the professional models of this company are distinguished by quiet operation and automatic shutdown when filling the volume. Cleaning the filter does not require disassembly of the vacuum cleaner and occurs independently.
Additional accessories for professional vacuum cleaners
The use of professional vacuum cleaners without disposable accessories does not make sense. Especially this point concerns the need to dispose of components of garbage hazardous to humans. Bags for a professional vacuum cleaner are produced by manufacturers for their own models. For example, when buyingprofessional equipment "Karcher" of the NT series, it is recommended to purchase a set of three-layer comfortable and durable bags. The manufacturer also offers plastic disposal bags for some models and membrane filters. Starmix also produces filter bags for its vacuum cleaners and various accessories.
Conclusion
Thus, the choice of a professional vacuum cleaner depends on the purpose of its use. This technique may be needed in domestic conditions. Due to the high suction power, such devices will not replace a conventional stationary vacuum cleaner with a power of 250 aerowatts. A professional device is indispensable, for example, for high-quality cleaning of upholstered furniture and general cleaning of premises or a country house. For these purposes, manufacturers offer professional models with relatively moderate power, small dimensions, weight and tank volume. For example, among washing vacuum cleaners, Karcher NT 14/1 Ap has a good combination of power and mobility, since its tank volume is only 14 liters. The Starmix TS 1214 RTS model has the same parameter. Washing professional vacuum cleaners will cost more compared to those for dry cleaning. The price of a model without special requirements starts from 5000 (for knapsack models) and from 12,000 rubles (for floor categories with high power).
