HILTI VC40 VACUUM CLEANER

Hilti VC 40 Vacuum Cleaner (110V): Robust Dust Management for Construction Sites

The Hilti VC 40 Vacuum Cleaner (110V) is a high-performance, robust, and versatile wet/dry dust extractor designed to tackle the toughest dust and debris challenges on professional construction sites. Its 110V power supply makes it compliant with UK site safety regulations, while its powerful motor, intelligent filter cleaning, and durable design ensure a clean and healthy working environment, even during the most intensive drilling, grinding, cutting, and coring operations.

Whether you're dealing with fine mineral dust, wood dust, or wet slurry, the VC 40 provides reliable and consistent suction, protecting both workers and equipment.

Features

• High Performance Dust Extraction:
  • Features a powerful motor, typically around 1200W, providing strong suction performance (e.g., max air flow rate of up to 150 m3/h or 71 l/s, and a max vacuum of up to 22.3 kPa).
  • Ensures efficient capture of dust at the source when connected to power tools.
• M-Class Dust Certification (Common Variant: VC 40-M):
  • Many VC 40 models, particularly the VC 40-M, are M-Class certified. This means they are suitable for extracting medium-hazard dusts, including most common construction dusts like silica dust (from concrete, stone, mortar), and wood dust.
  • M-class filters achieve a 99.9% separation efficiency, crucial for protecting worker health and complying with dust exposure regulations.
• Hilti AirBoost Automatic Filter Cleaning:
  • Equipped with Hilti's AirBoost automatic filter cleaning technology. This intelligent system periodically reverses the airflow to pulse clean the filters, maintaining consistently high suction performance and reducing manual cleaning frequency. This can be switched off for quieter operation or when extracting liquids.
• Wet and Dry Applications:
  • Designed for both wet and dry vacuum cleaning. This versatility allows it to handle fine dust, coarse debris, liquids, and even slurries from wet coring or cutting applications.
  • Features a container capacity of 30-36 litres and a water capacity of 22.8-25 litres.
• Integrated Power Outlet with Auto-Start:
  • Includes a built-in 110V, 16A power socket (power take-off) for connecting electric tools directly to the vacuum cleaner.
  • The auto-start function automatically switches the vacuum on when the connected tool starts and off with a slight delay when the tool stops, ensuring continuous dust extraction during operation.
• Robust & Mobile Design:
  • Constructed with an extra-durable housing, wheels, and components to withstand the harsh conditions of construction sites.
  • Features an integrated push-bar and sturdy tires for easy and agile transport across rough terrain, even when fully loaded.
  • The intelligent placement of the filter and hose connection in the upper part of the machine maximizes the usable tank capacity.
• User-Friendly Features:
  • Easy handling for emptying the tank and changing filters or dust bags.
  • Performance display provides live feedback on the dust extractor's filter status and suction strength.
  • Available with different filter types (e.g., universal, performance, PES for wet/dry) and dust bags (plastic for mineral dust, paper for wood dust) for optimal material collection and disposal.
• 110V Site Compliant:
  • Operates on 110V single-phase power, essential for meeting the safety requirements of construction sites in the UK and other regions. Requires connection to a suitable 110V transformer (e.g., 2kVA or 3kVA continuous rated).

Applications

The Hilti VC 40 Vacuum Cleaner is an indispensable tool for:

• On-Tool Dust Extraction: Connecting directly to power tools (drills, grinders, cutters, saws, sanders) to capture hazardous dust at the source.
• Wet Coring & Slurry Removal: Efficiently collecting water and abrasive slurry generated during wet diamond coring or cutting.
• General Site Cleaning: Vacuuming up debris, dust, and liquids from floors, walls, and work surfaces.
• Hazardous Dust Control: Essential for managing dusts containing silica, wood, and other fine particulates to comply with health and safety regulations.
• Renovation & Demolition: Maintaining a clean and safe environment during strip-out and construction phases.
• Commercial & Industrial Cleaning: Suitable for robust daily cleaning tasks in workshops and industrial facilities.
