For an industrial vacuum, power in Watts (W) is an important indicator, but not the only one. The required power depends on the specific application: fine dust, chips, liquids, heavy material, continuous operation. Typically, industrial vacuums start at 1000–1500W for light and intermittent use, reaching 3000W, 5000W, or even over 10,000W for heavy-duty and continuous cycle applications. It’s essential to also evaluate the actual suction power (measured in mbar or kPa) and airflow rate (measured in m³/h), along with the quality of the filtration system.
