Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a technical distinction.
- Professional vacuum: a robust machine, often single-phase, designed for intensive but not continuous use. It is the ideal solution for cleaning companies, workshops, car washes, and craftsmen.
- Industrial vacuum: built for the needs of industrial production. It is often equipped with a three-phase motor for continuous operation (24/7), has an all-steel construction, advanced filtration systems for specific dusts (toxic, explosive), and is designed to be directly integrated into production cycles.
