Since its invention in the late 80s, cyclonic vacuums have slowly emerged as a solution of choice in the central vacuum industry. Although these bagless models are popular, there is still a lack of knowledge about how they work, their advantages and disadvantages. So let us explore cyclonic vacuuming with you!

How Does Cyclonic Vacuuming Works?

The cyclonic system method is very simple: it is based on the design of the tank. If you look at the picture on the right, you can see that the tank forms a funnel.

This causes a cyclone of air to form when the unit operating. The vacuumed materials that have been filtered will be trapped in the vortex and the heavier particles will accumulate at the bottom of the tank. In short, the cyclone separates air and dust.

The Advantages of Cyclonic Central Vacuums

If you decide to choose a central vacuum system with cyclonic action, you should know that it has several advantages :

1. It is an economical option

Since the dust accumulates in the tank, there is no need to buy a bag. You will save money on these accessories.

2. They are Powerful Devices

Because they are bagless, cyclonic vacuums maintain a constant power level that never decreases.

3. Some Drainvac Models are Designed to Vacuum Liquids

Drainvac's DF1R11 and DF1R15-CT cyclonic action units can vacuum liquids, which is convenient for cleaning up this type of mess.

4. They Respect the Environment

Cyclonic devices do not produce waste since the dust goes directly to the bottom of the tank. You just have to empty it when it is full!

Is cyclonic vacuums for me?

Cyclonic vacuums are very convenient, but they are not for everyone. If you have allergies, the Generation 2 series may be better suited to your needs since the vacuumed waste is contained into a bag, avoiding you to make contact with dust.
