Nilfisk VHS120 Metal / Swarf Vacuum + Tool Kit

The Nilfisk VHS120 Metal / Swarf Vacuum + Tool Kit is a specialist industrial vacuum designed specifically for metalworking and fabrication environments where the safe and efficient collection of metal chips, swarf, and coolant is essential. Built on the proven VHS120 platform, this model has been engineered with enhanced features to manage mixed wet and dry waste typically generated in machining, milling, turning, drilling, and CNC operations.

At the heart of this version is a grid and drain-valve system built into the base of the collection bin. As material is vacuumed, metal chips and swarf remain on the grid while coolant drains below, allowing the liquid to be safely released through the integrated valve. This separation system reduces disposal time, enables coolant recovery, and helps maintain a cleaner, safer workshop environment.

To protect the vacuum during heavy swarf collection, the unit includes a cyclone filter protector, which reduces filter load, prevents blockages, and helps maintain consistent suction performance. Powered by a strong 240V motor, the machine offers reliable performance in busy fabrication shops and engineering workshops.

With a total 37L capacity (up to 25L dedicated swarf capacity), the VHS120 Metal / Swarf Vacuum is compact yet robust enough for daily industrial use. This model comes complete with a heavy-duty 50mm tool kit designed for demanding metal recovery tasks.
