We tell about the features of the aggregates and about five important selection criteria for which you need to pay attention.
Dust and garbage - Eternal repair satellites. Home vacuum cleaners are unable to cope with this amount of work, but they are not intended for him. Small particles score filters, enter the engine, and the technique fails. Therefore, before large repair it is worth thinking about buying special equipment. We'll figure it out how to choose a building vacuum cleaner.

Features of technology
A large amount of dust is inevitable in the course of repair or construction work, it must be removed immediately. It clogs the engines of power tools, thereby accelerating their wear, interferes with work on finishing, and just harmful to the health of employees. The best solution will be the use of a vacuum cleaner intended for construction waste. We produce two varieties of such equipment.
Types of cleaning machinery
- Industrial models. Designed for production, have a maximum power, withstand long-term serious loads. Can work with hazardous and explosive substances.
- Construction aggregates. Used for cleaning during repair or construction, to remove dust in domestic workshops. More powerful than household models.
Types of construction vacuum cleaners
- For dry garbage. Collects only dry particles of pollution. It is not designed to enter the liquids in the dust collector.
- For dry and wet garbage. Designed for collecting dry pollution and liquids. Wet cleaning is possible with some models.
Another classification shares the technique for professional and semi-facilities.
Semi-professional devices
Saltly different from household analogs. It is better adapted to cleaning the construction trash, equipped with a more powerful engine. However, their ability is limited. The engine is cooled by air from the filter, the bypass is not provided. Bags are more often fragile, robes when concrete fragments or metal chips. No option "Wet cleaning". But the price is not much higher than that of household models.Professional equipment
High-power aggregates adapted to the collection of contaminated liquids and dry dirt. Particularly durable bags do not rob, there are varieties working at all without them. Some models can collect aggressive liquids and hot chips. Bypass, separating air flows. The motor is cooled by a separate stream, and it extends its service life. The price of professional devices is much higher.
For cleaning during repair or in the garage there will be any semi-professional model. But as a chips for a domestic workshop, it is not suitable. Here you need a professional aggregate or special chip-cutting vacuum cleaner.
How to choose a building vacuum cleaner for home
To choose correctly, you need to pay attention to five important characteristics.Type of dust collecting
For dry garbage, bags of aggregates are most often used. They are equipped with reusable or replaceable tanks that are going to waste. One-time bags are usually made of thick paper. As they are filling, they are removed and recycled by replacing new ones. It is simpler than the cleaning of reusable fabric tanks, but rather expensive, since consumables have to buy. In addition, paper is often rushing when they get inside with sharp fragments. The fabric breaks less frequently. Another lack of paper bags is high density. Therefore, they are not always filled completely. The unit simply lacks the power to "blow" the air through a partially filled dense container. It is important that the volume of the bags is large enough, otherwise they will have to be changed or cleaned.
Release non-free equipment. It is equipped with a plastic container where waste is collected. This is useful if you need to collect large stones, fragments, concrete fragments. Dust These devices are delayed worse than bags. The smallest particles always fly out. The appliances with aqua filter skip the contaminated stream through the water where the whole dirt is settled. They clean better, can suck liquid and suitable for wet cleaning. The price is significantly higher than that of the analogs.
Performance and power
Power consumption is considered the primary parameter, on which performance depends. Therefore, many are only focused on it. It is not right. The air flow is also important, incoming periput and suction power. It is better to estimate the totality of all of these characteristics. Unfortunately, the information is not always indicated by the manufacturer. Therefore, you have to focus on the power consumed.
Equipment for the removal of chips and heavy dust should be more powerful 1,000 W. Semi-professional models are chosen in the range from 1,000 to 1,400 W. This is enough for dust particles, sawdust and very small stones. The larger fragments of plaster or concrete can not be enough. Professional devices of similar power will cope with them. For cleaning metal chips and stones, the devices are chosen by 2,000 W.
Degree of pouring
Inside the case there is a fan creates a vacuum. Its value determines the force of suction of the device. For professional models, it can be ranging from 17 to 250 mbar. It is better to choose the device with a great degree of vacuum. His power suction is higher.Dust Container
The volume of the standard dust collector of professional aggregates is from 20 to 50 liters. The more volume, the more equipment, and the bulky technique is not very convenient to use. But it is necessary to clean volumetric containers. The maximum volume of the tank is 100 liters, although such a technique is rare.
Case device
It is made of impact-resistant materials: reinforced plastic or metal. Low-quality plastic does not withstand loads and quickly fails. It is desirable for the presence of a bumper, which will protect the housing when a collision with an obstacle. Given that the technique has significant dimensions and weight, especially with a complete container, when choosing attention to the quality of the wheels. They should be durable, rotate well. It is advisable to choose aggregates with a long network cord and hose, it is convenient.
Useful additional options
Manufacturers equip their products with additional options. We have collected the most useful.
- Suction force regulator. It makes it possible to adjust the craving depending on which garbage should be removed.
- Power socket. Power tools are directly connected to it. In this case, the vacuum cleaner is automatically turned on when the instrument is activated, it turns off with a small delay after it.
- The presence of adapters. Used to connect a dust hose to the power tools.
- Automatic filter cleaning. Allows cleaning the filter system without disassembling the case.
- Motor protection from overload. Disables the device in the threat of breakdowns from overload.
We found out how to choose a building vacuum cleaner for repair and a home workshop. It is best for household conditions a prolpetroofessional model with a good suction capacity. If it is supposed to work with the power tool, it is desirable to choose a bag variety with a sufficiently large volume of the dust collector. Mixless units are often chosen for repair and construction work.
