Portable vacuum systems are designed to quickly collect dust, debris, and hazardous particles from floors, equipment, and hard-to-reach areas. Unlike fixed dust extraction, which captures particles directly at source, portable units allow you to move freely around your site and tackle contamination wherever it appears.

How It Works & Why It Matters
Everything you need to know about portable dust extraction systems.
What are Portable Dust Extraction Systems?
Portable vacuum systems are designed to quickly collect dust, debris, and hazardous particles from floors, equipment, and hard-to-reach areas. Unlike fixed dust extraction, which captures particles directly at source, portable units allow you to move freely around your site and tackle contamination wherever it appears.
Why does it Matter to You?
Even when fixed extraction systems are in place, dust can still settle on surfaces and machinery. Left unmanaged, this build-up can:
-
Compromise indoor air quality and employee health.
-
Increase fire or explosion risks in ATEX environments.
-
Lead to machine breakdowns and costly downtime.
-
Lower product quality and create hygiene concerns in food or pharmaceutical settings.
Compliance
Regulations across the UK & Ireland require businesses to control dust and debris in the workplace, including:
- Required under HSE guidelines(Control of Substances Hazardous to Health – COSHH; HSG258)
- Employers must control exposure to hazardous dust (e.g. wood dust, silica, composite materials)
