• Choosing the right industrial vacuum cleaner depends on several factors, including the material being collected, the environment it will operate in, how frequently it will be used and the required filtration level. Different applications require different solutions, from collecting fine hazardous dust to removing liquids, oil and metal swarf.

    Before selecting a vacuum, businesses should consider the dust type, capacity requirements, power supply and whether ATEX certification is required. Kerstar provides expert advice to help manufacturers identify the most suitable industrial vacuum solution for their specific application.

  • A continuous duty industrial vacuum is designed to operate for extended periods, often for many hours at a time, without requiring frequent breaks for cooling or maintenance. These vacuums are commonly used in manufacturing environments where dust, debris, oil or production waste is generated continuously.

    Continuous duty vacuums are typically built with robust components, powerful motors and larger capacities to withstand demanding industrial conditions. Kerstar supplies heavy-duty vacuum solutions designed for applications where reliable, long-duration operation is required.

  • The difference between continuous duty and intermittent duty vacuums is how they are designed to operate. Intermittent duty vacuums are suitable for shorter cleaning tasks with periods of downtime, while continuous duty vacuums are engineered for longer operating cycles where dust or waste collection is required regularly throughout production.

    Choosing the correct duty rating helps prevent equipment overload, improves reliability and ensures the vacuum is suited to the application. Kerstar can advise on whether a continuous or intermittent duty vacuum is the right choice for your process.

  • Some industrial vacuum cleaners can collect both liquids and dry materials, but the correct equipment depends on the application. Wet and dry vacuums are designed with features that allow them to safely handle different types of waste, while specialist vacuums may be required for hazardous materials, oil recovery or combustible dust.

    Using the wrong vacuum for a particular material can affect performance and safety. Kerstar supplies industrial vacuum solutions for a wide range of applications, including dust, debris, liquids, oil and swarf collection.

  • The required suction power for an industrial vacuum depends on the material being collected, the length of hose being used, the application and the amount of waste generated. Fine dust, heavy debris, liquids and metal swarf all require different levels of airflow and vacuum performance.

    A higher-powered vacuum is not always the best solution; selecting the correct combination of airflow, filtration and capacity is key. Kerstar specialists can help identify the most suitable vacuum specification for your manufacturing process.

  • The correct size of industrial vacuum depends on the type and volume of material being collected, how often the vacuum is used and the available space within the workplace. A small vacuum may be suitable for occasional cleaning, while larger-capacity models are better suited to continuous production environments or high-volume waste collection.

    Factors such as filtration requirements, waste disposal methods and operating time should also be considered. Kerstar offers industrial vacuum cleaners in a range of sizes and capacities to suit different industrial applications.

  • The choice between a bagged and bagless industrial vacuum depends on the application, material being collected and disposal requirements. Bagged systems can provide cleaner and safer waste removal, particularly when handling hazardous dusts, while bagless systems may be preferred where frequent emptying or larger waste volumes are involved.

    For hazardous materials, containment and safe disposal methods are important considerations. Kerstar supplies industrial vacuum cleaners with different collection options to suit a wide range of manufacturing environments.

  • Yes. Selecting the correct industrial vacuum depends on understanding your application, materials, operating environment and safety requirements. Factors such as combustible dust risks, filtration requirements, capacity, duty cycle and waste disposal methods all influence which vacuum is most suitable.

    Kerstar's specialists can provide guidance to help manufacturers choose the right industrial vacuum cleaner for their process, whether they need an ATEX-certified vacuum, Type H filtration, oil and swarf recovery or a heavy-duty continuous-duty solution.
