Which vacuum is the most powerful and has the strongest suction?
A.
At DuroVac, we supply vacuum systems based on the specific application to give you exactly what you need to ensure the system provides enough power. DuroVac specifies each system based on the application details provided by the customer. This allows us to offer a vacuum that provides the right combination of suction, power and performance.
Q.
What vacuums do professionals use?
A.
DuroVac supplies our famously tough vacuums to professionals world-wide.
Q.
What is the highest wattage for a vacuum cleaner?
A.
We do not use wattage or amps when referring to vacuums. Industrial vacuums are rated based on horsepower (HP), and we have designed systems of up to 250 HP.

Q.
What are the dangers of silica dust?
A.
Workers who inhale these very small crystalline silica particles are at increased risk of developing serious silica-related diseases, including silicosis, an incurable lung disease that can lead to disability and death. You can learn more about the dangers on the OSHA website.
Q.
How do you remove silica dust from the air?
A.
HEPA filtration is required to remove silica dust from the air.
Q.
Do HEPA filters in vacuums work?
A.
A HEPA filter is a high efficiency particulate air filter, designed to remove 99.97 percent of all particles that are 0.3 microns in size that pass through it. The HEPA standard is set by the U.S. government's Department of Energy, and it was developed for use in nuclear facilities in the 1940s.
Q.
What is the difference between a shop vac and a dust collector?
A.
Unlike shop vacs, which use high suction and a narrow hose, dust collectors have low suction and a wide hose. Dust collectors have at least two stages, where larger particles are separated from smaller ones. This helps keep the motor from being bogged down by larger particles, which usually translates to a longer lifespan. Dust collectors are stationary, where shop vacs are portable units that can be moved from location to location. Shop vacs are a little better at spot cleaning, but they aren’t equipped to handle large volumes or dense materials. Brooms and compressed air might temporarily clear one surface, but they only end up pushing dust elsewhere in the facility – this is why an industrial vacuum system, either central or portable, is needed.
Q.
How do industrial vacuum systems work?
A.
Industrial vacuum cleaners are designed and manufactured to meet specific needs of users and particular tasks that are generally heavy to handle. The main differences between industrial vacuums and retail models are their efficiency and sturdiness. Industrial vacuum cleaners are characterized by their high performance, and they can work continuously for long periods.
