Industrial Vacuum’s carries a full line of vacuums that are ideal for sanding, whether for autobody sanders, wood floor sanders, concrete sanders, drywall sanders, wood crafters, or any other sanding application. Click HERE for more information.
The Nilfisk/Alto Attix 30 (8 gallon), Attix 50 (12 gallon) and Attix 19 gallon sanding vacuums come with electric and pneumatic autostart. This allow you to plug your electric tool or air operated tool into the vacuum. When the tool is turned on or off, the vacuum is turned on or off.
The vacuums feature either a push to clean filter system or the XtremeClean self-cleaning filter system, which automatically blows the filter off every 15 seconds.
The vacuums can also come in HEPA models for compliance with the EPA RRP standard for lead vacuums.
Nilfisk-Alto vacuums are superior in quality and durability, designed to be contractor grade.
Industrial Vacuums presents the newest line of Nilfik-Alto vacuums (formerly called Wap Vacuums).
In 2010, Nilfisk-Alto introduced the Attix 30 and 50 series vacuums to supercede the Attix 8 and Attix 12 series vacuums. The Attix 30 and 50 series vacuums are still engineered in Germany using Wap Technology of their predecessors.
They continue to be designed for high-performance, durability, and super-quiet functionality, making them the best portable/canister vacuums for auto shops, autobody shops, home users/home shops, construction, industry, hospitals, fire departments, woodworkers, drywallers, and sanders. It is no wonder these are the vacuums used by Jiffy Lube stores and Mercedes/BMW dealers nationally.
Key features of these new vacuums are discussed by clicking on link below:
Ask yourself… what vacuum can do what you see in this picture? Only Nilfisk-Alto Attix Vacuums, engineered with German Wap Technology, the standard by contractors for the best, most durable and powerful vacuum for over 30 years.
When you buy a vacuum, you don’t want something from a fly by night company…or a vacuum that will lose suction power over time. You want something proven.
Nilfisk, a company over over 5,000 employees, is known worldwide for making the best vacuum systems since 1906. That’s why NASA has trusted Nilfisk vacuums to clean the Space Shuttle for 20 years.
If you need a vacuum for your business to meet EPA RRP standards or just for your home, a Nilfisk-Alto Attix vacuum is worth the investment.
Industrial Vacuums, Inc. has over 18 years of experience with the Nilfisk-Alto vacuums and we strongly believe these vacuums will be the best vacuums you will ever own. Unlike off the shelf wet-dry
vacuums, you will not see dust blowing out of these vacuums.
In our experience working with thousands of contractors, industrial users, hospital cleaners, autobody shops, cleaning businesses, government and home users, nothing meets the needs of these customers more than the Nilfisk-Alto Attix Wap Technology vacuums. The durability of Nilfisk Attix vacuums make them the choice of Jiffy Lube centers and Mercedes/BMW dealers nationwide.
Why are these vacuums so superior? Below is information to help you understand the quality designed into these vacuums.
The newest generation of the Nilfisk-Alto Wap Technology vacuums are called “Attix” vacuums.
The Nilfisk Attix model series of vacuums, engineered with German Wap Technology, have such a good name that even though Wap, the original manufacturer, was acquired by Alto vacuums and later by Nilfisk (one of the largest vacuum producers in the world), they are often referred to by each name: Wap, Alto and Nilfisk because all of these companies is associated with high quality, durability, and excellence.
Advantages of Nilfisk Attix Wap Technology vacuums include:
92 inches static vertical water lift (see photo above).
Powerful enough to pick up wood chips, nuts, bolts, and extract water. Compare this to
40-65 inches in standard off the shelf vacuums. The power rating puts
Nilfisk Attix Wap Technology vacuums in the class of extractors.
Powerful 1.6 HP bypass motors. Bypass motors are self cooling and offer high suction performance with little chance of ever burning up. This leads to longer service life. (Note: Most cheap wet/dry vacuums will claim 1.6 HP, and up to 8 HP at peak levels. But you do not want to compare vacuums using horsepower. What matters is the vertical inches of water lift – which is the truest measure of how a vacuum harnesses power.)
Low noise. These are the world’s quietest vacuums, most generating only 59 decibels of noise. This saves your hearing and makes the workplace safer. You can talk on the phone next to these vacuums.
Durability. Our vacuums are designed to meet the needs of industrial and commercial users. Many customers have owned their vacuums for over 10 years, and some over 20 years.
HEPA filtration at 0.3 microns, 99.99% Exceeds EPA Standards. Nilfisk Attix HEPA vacuums filter out dust down to 0.3 microns in
size, meeting OSHA, EPA, and Department of Defense requirements. In
fact, Nilfisk Attix HEPA vacuums come with a certificate that each
filter is individually tested (not batch tested, but individually
tested) to exceed the EPA RRP requirement of 99.97% of particles at 0.3
microns.
1 micron filtration for Non-HEPA Filters. Standard non-HEPA Nilfisk Attix filters will contain dust particles as small as 1.0 microns, catching most dusts, including drywall dust. The 1.0 micron filters are made of very durable fleece material that is washable and reusable to give a long life. The 1.0 micron filters are coated with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which gives them increased durability, strength and resists mildew. The 1.0 micron filters are washable. The 1.0 micron non-HEPA filters are so good you can suck up fireplace ash and that won’t even blow through the vacuum. And even better, if you buy a vacuum with a non-HEPA filter and want to get a HEPA filter later, it’s no problem, they are interchangeable.
Sealed Vacuums and Two Stage Filtration. By using bags, a second stage of filtration is created (i.e. bags + filter). The bags are very strong, made of polyproyplene, and will capture almost all dust before it reaches the vacuum filter. All Nilfisk Attix vacuums are sealed with gaskets to prevent leakage. Again, you will never see dust blowing through these vacuums.
Push and Clean and XtremeClean filter cleaning systems. Clean filters without opening up vacuum. Click HERE for additional information.
1 gallon per second suction performance. Vacuums suck up 1 gallon per second.
Wet/Dry Capability. Vacuums can go from wet to dry with no filter changes. (Note, it is recommended that HEPA vacuums be used for dry pickup only, unless you unscrew the HEPA filter and screw on the 1.0 micron non-HEPA filter noted above which can get wet.)
Durable hoses. Suction hoses on vacuums are designed to be virtually indestructible.
Auto-Electric or Pneumatic Start. This feature can be added to most vacuums for using the vacuum with dust-generating tools, such as sanders, so that the vacuum turns on when the tool is turned on.
Easy maneuverability. Most vacuums come mounted on a metal cart with large rear wheels for easy maneuvering up and down stairs or across uneven surfaces.
Durable canisters. Canisters are durable, made of either stainless steel or poly material.
Trusted Name. Over the years, Nilfisk developed a relationship with NASA, playing an
important role in NASA’s pre-flight preparation. For more than 20 years,
Nilfisk’s industrial vacuums have been used for decontamination of the
Space Shuttle’s cargo bay before the doors are closed prior to launch.
Nilfisk ensures the successful decontamination of the Space Shuttle’s
cargo bay.

What users say about the Nilfisk Attix HEPA vacuums
best, quietest, sturdiest vacuum

Working in tennant improvement in the healthcare industry over twenty
years I’ve used several different models of vacuum. Now that HEPA vacs
are required I’ve traded in my big “orange” hepa vacs for the Attix 8.
These little blue power houses have stronger suction, are lighter for
the crews to care (they love them), and the vacuum bags stay put and
don’t fall into the canister fouling the whole unit. Best yet they are
hundreds of dollars less than my old “orange” hepa units. Try one and
you’ll be sold. I have ten to date.
Great vac

I got this vacuum to replace a Rigid vac. Wow. What a difference. I
didn’t know what I was missing til I got this. It is powerful and super
quiet. The best shop vac I’ve ever seen or owned. I had heard from a
friend who had one of these vacuums for 16 years how nice they are.
And it lives up to my expectations. Now my wife is using it to clean
in the house.

what for us is no doubt the most

could not be more pleased.“James W., General Manager, Curtainwall Services Inc, Illinois
Industrial Vacuums carries a full line of vacuum that comply with the EPA RRP ruling for lead based paint remediation. The vacuums come in 8, 12 and 19 gallon capacities.
All vacuums come with a HEPA certification document to confirm they meet or exceed the requirement of filtration to the 0.3 micron level at 99.97%
Nilfisk-Alto vacuums (formerly called Wap vacuums) are known as the industry leading vacuum for lead based paint remediation. For over 30 years, these vacuums have been the vacuum of choice by painters, contractors, and industrial users.
Industrial Vacuums introduces this powerful flood sucker vacuum that picks up and discharges water simultaneously. Vastly superior to the salvage master style vacuum. An internal pump discharges water through a discharge hose. Powerful suction with extractor level of power, 105 inches of vertical water lift. Super quiet design, 57 decibels. Durable, industrial design.
Ideal for fire departments, contractors, salvage companies, sprinklered buildings.
Manufactured by Nilfisk-Alto (formerly Wap vacuums).
Industrial Vacuums (www.industrialvacs.com) is pleased to announce the newest generation of Nilfisk Wap/Alto vacuums – The Attix 30 and 50 models.
The Attix 30 is an 8 gallon vacuum, while the Attix 50 is a 12 gallon unit (30 liters = 8 gallons, 50 liters = 12 gallons). The vacuums continue to be the most durable, powerful and quietest wet/dry vacuum.
Wap vacuums were acquired several years ago by Nilfisk, a worldwide leading manufacturer of vacuums, which is why they carry both the Nilfisk and Wap labels. They are still manufactured in Germany.
Wap Technology vacuums are known for their power, durability, and quiet motor design. They are considered the highest quality and best engineered vacuums for contractors, industry, woodworkers, sanders, auto body shops, home shops, or home users who want this excellent quality.
The newest line of Wap Technology vacuums are called Attix vacuums. They are considered by many contractors as the best vacuums for compliance with the EPA RRP rule for lead paint remediation work. Nothing blows through these vacuums.
The Attix vacuums are built with the same durable and powerful motors that are a hallmark of their predecessor Wap models, the Turbo, SQ and Aero models. The canisters of the older generation Wap vacuums have been redesigned in the Attix models for even greater durability and functionality. They continue to maintain a super quiet design.
The Nilfisk/Alto Attix 30 (8 gallon), Attix 50 (12 gallon) and Attix 19 gallon sanding vacuums come with electric and pneumatic autostart. This allow you to plug your electric tool or air operated tool into the vacuum. When the tool is turned on or off, the vacuum is turned on or off.
