Industrial Vacuum Solutions for machining operations

Improve your production processes with our range of industrial vacuum cleaners

Machining is a fundamental process in the manufacturing industry, and it is used to obtain precision-shaped, sized, and finished metal parts. During these machining operations, metal chips and residues of removed material are generated that can quickly accumulate in the work area.

Using an industrial vacuum cleaner to remove machining residues: all the benefits

Vacuuming chips, metal dust, and spent lubricant and cutting oils is essential for:

- Maintaining a clean work environment;

- Ensuring the safety of operators;

- Improving the efficiency of machine tools.

- Vacuuming the by-products of machining operations prevents clutter and clogging of machinery and reduces the risk of accidents and injuries due to sharp and slippery fragments.

Depureco industrial vacuums are specially designed to dispose of metal chips effectively, suck up even the lightest and most volatile particles, and recover lubricating and cutting oils. We have numerous product ranges, designed to be used with numerous mechanical processes. Here are some of them.

CNC Turning

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) turning is a highly automated and precise machining operation that allows the manufacturing of cylindrical, conical, and complex-shaped components. Material removal produces a large amount of chips and metal dust: using an industrial vacuum to handle these residues ensures a clean work environment and a high-quality finished product. Our TX vacuum cleaners ensure optimal extraction of large amounts of dry and wet chips.

Sanding and polishing machines

Sanding and polishing machines refine and roughen hard surfaces, such as wood, plastic, metals, or stone. Industrial dust collectors can be highly beneficial for capturing dust directly at the source generated by these tools and preventing it from settling on machinery, contributing to air pollution. Depureco dust collectors, like the DF 22, are powerful, compact, and mobile, designed for easy transport between work areas. They are equipped with M-class filters (filtration efficiency up to 1 micron), star or cartridge filters, and an optional HEPA filter. They can be connected to an extraction arm or localized extraction hoods in the production process.

Welding

When welding operations are performed, special attention must be paid because various by-products are generated that can pose risks to the health and safety of operators, as well as negatively impact work efficiency. Among our products, there are industrial vacuums designed for the extraction of welding fumes and dust, such as vacuum cleaners for MIG-MAG welding torches, which ensure effective extraction directly at the source of the fumes, or vacuum cleaners for TIG welders.

Metal drawing

Drawing is a machining process to reduce the cross-section of a wire, bar, or tube by pulling it through a drawing die. During this process, it is necessary to keep the work area clean of waste by using a suitable vacuum cleaner to suck up chips and metal dust, such as our TXs. Because of their side channel turbine, they are ideal for vacuuming dust, solids, and metal chips mixed with liquid in continuous applications.

Metal lamination

Lamination generates various waste products, such as metal powders, chips, vapors, and gases. To avoid risks associated with an unhealthy work environment, it is advisable to use industrial vacuum cleaners with high power, capable of continuous operation without the need for maintenance, and adaptable to the specific requirements of each workshop. Our three-phase industrial vacuum cleaners ensure high suction power, are highly customizable, and help maintain workplace cleanliness while preventing machinery wear.

Tumbling

Industrial vacuuming is a fundamental tool to keep the tumbling area consistently free from chips, dust, and residues. Depending on the specific workplace requirements, compact and maneuverable vacuum cleaners like those in our single-phase line can be used, or where greater suction power and higher collection capacity are needed, three-phase models are employed. Our industrial vacuum cleaners offer different types of filters, including M and H filters, to meet the specific needs of each application.

Grinding machine

The grinding process allows for obtaining precise finishes and accurate dimensions on metal parts through abrasion. During this mechanical operation, fine dust and metal chips are generated, which can be hazardous to the health and safety of workers if not promptly removed. Additionally, for the proper functioning of a grinder, the use of cutting oils and coolants is necessary. With our range of Depureco oil and chip vacuum cleaners, you can:

- Filter and recover or properly dispose of oils;

- Clean the work area of metal shavings;

- Reduce maintenance and downtime of machinery.

Metal molding

Metal molding is a widely used process in various industrial sectors. Specifically, metal molding generates chips, fragments, metal powders, and residues of lubricating oils used to reduce friction between the metal and the mold. Effective management of these residues is essential to maintain the efficiency and safety of the production process. Our M 65 industrial vacuum cleaner is suitable for suctioning chips generated during the molding process.

Cold working

In cold working processes, metallic materials are manipulated without heating. The amount of metal chips generated from this operation is significant and must be effectively managed to prevent workplace accidents and ensure proper machinery operation. Our M100 is a powerful machine equipped with 3 single-phase motors, suitable for suctioning large quantities of dry and wet chips, with its 100-liter capacity.

Industrial vacuums for machining

To carry out mechanical operations safely and ensure high-quality finished products, it is essential to use industrial vacuum cleaners specifically designed for metalworking applications. Our comprehensive range of solutions includes machines capable of collecting large quantities of dry and wet chips and separating lubricating oils.

In the metalworking industry, to improve production processes and ensure a safe working environment, it is recommended to use vacuum systems with the following features:

- Good collection capacity;

- Grated basket for easy separation of oil and chips if needed;

- Possibility of implementing customized centralized vacuum systems according to requirements.
