Wet and Dry Vacuums
I have for sale the following commercial wet and dry vacuums in Perth.
My units are all ready assembled so you can take them straight to work.
I also carry the full range of filters and bags in stock.
How to Choose:
Consider the following:
- What specification of cleaning do you need (keep in mind building sites may specify "M" class or "H" class, but general cleaning or domestic work can have lower standards) :
- "L" Class is general cleaning and dust collection, as well as plaster and aluminium
(99% filtration efficiency)
- "M" Class is suitable for wood dust and "L" Class work (99.9% filtration efficiency)
- "H" Class is suitable for silica dust, lead dust, asbestos and "M" Class work (99.995% filtration efficiency)
See more info below, and confirm your local or site requirements. - Price - lower spec'd vacs are less expensive than higher spec'd units
- Power - the bigger units usually have much more power than smaller more compact units.
- Smaller units are light, easier to carry and store and require more frequent emptying.
Bigger units are heavier, bulkier in your vehicle, but need less emptying. - Plastic tanks will be lighter and won't dent.
Stainless steel tanks are going to be slightly heavier but more durable and easier to clean. - Anti static hose (included on Vacmaster 38L and option on other vacs) prevents clogging and dust cling.
Dry extraction - Use cartridge filter, dust bag and pre-filter.
*** Failure to use bags when dry vacuuming may void warranty ***
Wet Extraction - Foam filter only
Asbestos:
Asbestos is an extreme health hazard and full local safety procedures must be followed.
Only work with a dry filter, vacuum cleaner and accessories to prevent dust from sticking inside the vacuum.
▶ For sucking up asbestos containing substances insert the fleece bag into the dirt container.
▶ Always use filter bags in conjunction with folded filter cartridges.
▶ Dispose of asbestos fibres in accordance with the local regulations
▶If complete collection of asbestos fibres is not possible take additional ventilation measures in accordance with the local regulations.
After completion of the work:
▶ Carefully clean tools, including suction tubes and work equipment.
▶ Carefully clean the working area.
▶ Moisten and properly remove objects contaminated with asbestos fibres that cannot be cleaned.
Tips:
These vacuums are often used with grinders, saws or wall chasers that may have very big motors.
Try to put your vacuum on a seperate circuit, or at least a seperate power point.
This will allow the machines with bigger motors to draw their rated power, and perform as specified.
Always use bags when dry vacuuming, otherwise dust can enter motor, which will void warranty.
Fleece bags are for dry material that does not stick or harden. These can sometimes be emptied and reused.
Disposable plastic or paper bags are for cement, plaster or similar dusts.
See the WA government's info on the dangers of working with silica dust here. It also shows how to manage the risks involved when working with silica dust.

Silica dust - when workers cut, crush, drill, polish, saw or grind products that contain silica, particles are created, which are one-hundredth of the size of a grain of sand. These can get stuck deep in the lungs.
Ensure precautions to limit exposure to dust are in place. Even emptying vacuum bags can lead to exposure.
See the WA government's info on silica dust here.
