When a Nilfisk M Class Vacuum is Right For You

As an M Class safety vacuum, the Nilfisk VHS 42 is designed for medium-hazard dusts that pose a risk to operator health. M Class filtration captures at least 99.9% of hazardous particles and is suitable for materials such as hardwood dust, concrete, fillers, paints, ceramics and plastics.

The advanced multi-stage filtration system combines a durable, washable PTFE main filter with a sealed airflow design to maintain high suction while preventing dust from escaping back into the workspace. Automatic filter cleaning keeps performance consistent, even during continuous fine dust applications.

The sealed dust system and high-efficiency PTFE main filter help ensure hazardous dust remains safely contained, supporting cleaner worksites, safer operators and compliance with workplace safety standards.

This makes the VHS 42 ideal for:
