Cordless tools have revolutionised the industry; the convenience of being able to carry out tasks unencumbered by the need to find power and plug in, or to leave trailing leads around as trip hazards has resulted in almost all personal tools now being cordless.
In the World of vacuum cleaners, however, cordless options have been restricted to smaller machines with limited power and performance. This is because for anything other than the lightest applications, efficient vacuum cleaning requires a minimum of 1-1.5kW of power; something that is not easily achievable for useable durations with small batteries.
The new BVC IV60 eGX breaks the mould and has revolutionised the ability to provide cordless industrial vacuum cleaning power wherever and whenever it is required. This has been achieved through the unique combination of the proven BVC YP3 multistage vacuum turbine and the new Honda eGX electric engine with swappable battery power.
The Honda eGX is an engine that provides power in the 2hp class, powered by an on-board 750Wh lithium battery. When fitted to the BVC IV60 eGX industrial vacuum cleaner this power unit delivers around 1.5kW of power with a ½ hour run time, and around 1 hour of run time on a very useful half power setting. With a fast charger, and swappable battery continuous operation is achievable.
Since its introduction, the BVC IV60 eGX is finding diverse applications in several different markets. Examples include warehouse spillage cleaning in areas not serviced with power outlets, high-bay cleaning with high-reach kits, use in areas for wet recovery and cleaning; in fact, many applications where the lack of available power outlets is the motivation to look for cordless alternatives.
Apart from the elimination of the need to find local power outlets for industrial vacuum cleaning, the other significant benefit the BVC IV60 eGX offers is the elimination of trailing leads. In an operational processing area, e.g. if there is a need to clean up spillages without interrupting the process or causing a hazard with trailing leads, BVC IV60 eGX can be simply pushed to the location and turned on for efficient cleaning.
Like all BVC Industrial Vacuum Cleaners, BVC IV60 eGX is available in different versions and with a wide range of hoses and tools. The first two versions available are the dry tank and wet tank versions. The dry tank version can be optionally fitted with HEPA filtration and offered in M-Class and H-Class configurations. The wet tank version, can be fitted with a sludge separator bucket, and has a tipping tank and drain hose for easy emptying.
Both versions are provided with 51mm (2”) inlets allowing the use of the full range of BVC 51mm and 38mm hoses and tools available from Quirepace. The range of tools includes various crevice tools, bench and brush tools, and robust floor tools. BVC IV60 eGX is also suitable for use with carbon-fibre high-reach cleaning tools for cleaning at high level whilst the operator stays at ground level, avoiding the need to ‘work at height.’
The BVC IV60 eGX is manufactured by Quirepace at the factory in Fareham, Hampshire, alongside the rest of the BVC Industrial Vacuum range of heavy-duty machines.
