FAQs

Match tank capacity to the cleaning duty cycle. For bench-side and small-bay use (single technician, daily emptying), 20-30L tanks are adequate. For workshop-floor and multi-bay use, 40-60L tanks reduce emptying frequency. For industrial and continuous-duty work (fabrication shops, sustained dust extraction), 60-80L+ tanks with auto-empty options are standard. Wheeled tubs are essential for tanks above 30L — manual lifting of a full 60L wet tank is heavy work.

Wet-and-dry units handle both fluid spills (oil, coolant, washwater) and dry debris (swarf, sawdust, masonry dust) from the same machine — the workshop default for general-purpose use. Dry-only vacuums are simpler and cheaper but cannot handle any liquid (using one for fluid causes motor damage). Wet-only vacuums are specialist units for fluid-recovery operations. For a single workshop vacuum, choose wet-and-dry; for high-frequency single-application use, dedicated dry-only or wet-only may be more cost-effective.

Yes — many workshop vacuums include a tool-takeoff outlet that auto-starts the vacuum when the connected tool is switched on. Match the dust-port size on the power tool to the vacuum's hose adapter (common sizes 35mm, 38mm, 50mm). Match the vacuum's airflow rating to the tool's recommended extraction airflow (listed in the tool's manual). For HSE-compliant dust extraction (fine dust, silica, MDF), HEPA-filtered vacuums certified to L, M, or H class are required — check the dust-class rating on the product page.

Filter life depends on the dust load. For general workshop use, paper and foam filters typically last 50-100 hours of use before suction drops noticeably; HEPA cartridge filters last longer (100-300+ hours) but cost more to replace. For heavy fine-dust use (concrete, silica, MDF), filter life is significantly shorter — change at the first sign of suction drop. Cyclone pre-separators (where fitted) extend main-filter life by 5-10× by capturing the bulk of the debris before it reaches the filter.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom.

Vacuum Cleaners

Vacuum Cleaners cover the workshop and industrial vacuum equipment used to clear shop floors, workbenches, machine surroundings, vehicle interiors, and the wider workshop environment of dust, swarf, fluid spills, and general workshop debris. Distinct from domestic vacuum cleaners, workshop vacuums are sized and built for trade-grade duty cycles, larger debris loads, mixed wet-and-dry handling, and the higher airflow needed for dust-extraction and powered-tool dust collection. Within Vacuum Cleaners you will find Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner (the highest-volume sub-category, covering the dual-mode units that handle both fluid spills and dry debris), Industrial Vacuum (heavy-duty single-application units for high-volume dust or fluid extraction), and the workshop-grade general-purpose vacuums sized for daily trade use. Parts For Machines supplies trade-grade vacuum cleaners for vehicle workshops, manufacturing plants, fabrication shops, agricultural-equipment yards, and general industrial use. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of SIP across the workshop vacuum range. SIP covers the broadest line — wet-and-dry vacuums from compact bench-side units to large workshop-floor wheeled tubs, plus industrial heavy-duty units for sustained extraction work. Product pages list the motor power (in watts and kW), airflow rate (in litres per second or cubic metres per hour — the key dust-extraction performance dimension), suction in mbar or kPa (the static pressure measure), tank capacity (in litres, typical workshop range 20-80L), the wet-or-dry capability (always check whether the unit is dry-only, wet-only, or wet-and-dry; using a dry-only unit for liquid causes motor damage), filter type (cyclone-pre-separator, paper, foam, HEPA), and accessories included. For workshop tool dust extraction (sander dust, saw dust, machine cuttings), match airflow rating to the tool's dust-port size and recommended extraction airflow. For floor and bench cleaning, suction strength is the more relevant dimension. Trade pricing on multi-unit orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
