Choosing the right equipment for Sheffield manufacturing

• Swarf collection, coolant spillage and wet/dry floor cleaning: MAMMOTH 240V Stainless (80L, twin-motor)
• 110V site electrical standard: MAMMOTH 110V Stainless
• Mobile degreasing — cutting oils and coolants: RAPID MSH 240V (diesel-fired boiler)
• Fixed installation degreasing with three-phase supply: RAPID VSC 415V (stainless, 150 bar)
• Combustible metal dust — aluminium or fine metal powder: DSEAR risk assessment required; ATEX-rated equipment may be needed

Frequently asked questions

What vacuum is best for swarf and coolant collection in a Sheffield steel or engineering workshop?

The MAMMOTH 240V Stainless (SKU MAMMOTH240-STAINLESS) is the standard production floor specification for Sheffield's metals and engineering businesses. The 80-litre stainless tank handles both wet coolant spillage and dry swarf and grinding dust, and resists corrosion from cutting fluids used across the Sheffield manufacturing base.

Do I need ATEX-rated equipment for aluminium dust at my Sheffield facility?

This depends on whether your DSEAR risk assessment has classified any areas as Zone 20, 21 or 22. Fine aluminium dust is combustible and explosive in certain concentrations. If classified zones exist, standard industrial vacuums cannot be used in those zones. Contact V-TUF on 01522 787978 to discuss ATEX-rated options.

What pressure washer is best for degreasing at Outokumpu or Forgemasters scale?

For sustained high-volume degreasing at large-scale Sheffield manufacturing facilities with three-phase electrical supply, the RAPID VSC 415V is the correct specification — 150 bar, 15 L/min, stainless body. For mobile operations where fixed plumbing is impractical, the RAPID MSH 240V provides independent hot-water capability.
