Portable Industrial Vacuum Cleaners
Under the BVC – British Vacuum Cleaners – brand , Quirepace specialise in manufacturing Industrial Vacuum Cleaners for industry . The BVC brand is best known for the heavy-duty UK manufactured units that deliver the best of traditional , solid , British manufacturing and engineering .
The UK manufactured range of BVC Industrial Vacuum Cleaners consists of machines rated at 1kW to 15kW , with the largest machines being at the limit of what can usefully be called “ portable ” machines . Fitted with robust wheels and casters , the complete range is capable of being easily manoeuvred to wherever it is needed to be used .
In the industrial workplace , hazards from dusts and spilled product fall into two distinct categories ; the first is dusts that are hazardous to health . This category includes obvious products like asbestos and silica dust , but any dust that can be breathed in by the operator or other personnel in the workplace is likely to be hazardous to health to a degree . Industrial Vacuum Cleaners with M-Class and H-Class filtration ensure hazardous dusts are appropriately handled when being recovered .
At the heart of most of the BVC range of Industrial Vacuum Cleaners is a BVC multi-stage turbine manufactured here in the UK at Fareham .
The second category is dusts that are hazardous in the environment . The obvious category is dusts that can potentially cause an explosive atmosphere , particularly organic products like sugar and flour . Some products fall in to both categories such as wood dusts , which are both hazardous to health and potentially explosive . ATEX rated Industrial Vacuum Cleaners must be specified for use in ATEX zones .
The latest innovation in the range of BVC Industrial Vacuum Cleaners is the introduction of a completely cordless vacuum cleaner with 1.5kW of industrial cleaning power . This is achieved by using the new and revolutionary Honda eGX electric engine , which delivers 1 / 2hr to 1hr cleaning power without the need to “ plug in ”. With a swappable battery and fast charging combined with a continuously rated motor and turbine the new cordless BVC IV60 eGX delivers a unique solution .
