A three-phase, high-power industrial vacuum built to run shift after shift — or to drive a centralised extraction system.
The Depureco PUMA is a three-phase, medium-to-high-power industrial vacuum built for continuous, heavy-duty work — the kind of duty cycle that wears out a lighter machine. Suction is driven by a robust side channel blower, and the PUMA holds its performance even when it runs without pause, which is exactly what centralised extraction and busy production lines demand. It is Italian-engineered by Depureco, a manufacturer that has built industrial vacuums since 1972.
The PUMA takes on both dry and wet material. It vacuums dust, solids and liquids — powders, solids and shavings, as well as wet powders and solids — so a single unit covers work that many sites would otherwise split between separate machines. Primary filtration is built around an M-class star filter in polyester media, cleaned by a manual filter-cleaning system, while a vacuum-limiter safety valve protects the motor. Every PUMA is CE-marked.
Rather than a single fixed build, the PUMA is offered in five motor configurations — 7.5 kW, 11 kW, 12.5 kW, 15 kW and 18.5 kW — with multiple construction options, so the machine is matched to the extraction duty instead of over- or under-specified. It can work as a standalone industrial vacuum or be integrated into a centralised suction system serving several pick-up points. The PUMA is CE-marked for ordinary, non-classified industrial areas; it is not ATEX zone-certified, so where a potentially explosive atmosphere may be present you should choose a Depureco vacuum built and certified for hazardous-area duty instead.
The suction unit is a side channel blower with direct coupling between motor and impeller. The turbine is equipped with a safety valve to ensure continuous, maintenance-free work. A metal silencer is included as standard in the turbine to ensure a low noise level.
The tangential inlet facilitates the cyclonic effect to deposit the collected material in the container. Filtration is ensured by a polyester star filter in class M (filtering efficiency 1 micron) with high filtering surface area, which guarantees air passage even with a dirty filter.
An ergonomic manual filter shaker allows the filter to be cleaned easily and quickly, removing dust and debris from the surface of the filter.
The material is collected inside a coated bin complete with a handle that allows it to be released. Thanks to the 4 sturdy pivoting wheels, the bin can be moved with ease and the collected material can then be disposed of.
