In many production processes, dust and residual materials are generated continuously while machinery is operating. Instead of waiting until the process is completed before cleaning, capturing material directly at the source can provide a more proactive approach to maintaining cleanliness during production.

This is the type of application addressed by Nilfisk industrial vacuum solutions for food, pharmaceutical and OEM applications, including the Nilfisk VHW310 and VHW311.
Why Capture Dust Directly at the Source?
In some production processes, dust or other materials requiring collection are generated continuously as machinery operates. In these situations, a vacuum solution positioned appropriately within the process can help collect material during production rather than only after the process has been completed.
For OEM applications, the Nilfisk VHW310 is designed for integration into process machines. The VHW311, meanwhile, is designed as an industrial vacuum that can be used in either fixed or mobile configurations.
Nilfisk VHW310 – Compact Vacuum for OEM Integration

The Nilfisk VHW310 is designed as an industrial vacuum for integration into process machines and OEM applications. Its compact design makes it suitable for applications where installation space is limited.
According to Nilfisk, the VHW310 is designed to help increase efficiency and productivity while ensuring high reliability during operation.
Extra Small Footprint
The VHW310 features an extra small footprint, making it suitable for applications where space needs to be optimized when integrating the vacuum into machinery or production processes.
Continuous 24/7 Operation
An important feature of the VHW310 is its continuous duty 24/7 design, making it suitable for applications that require continuous vacuum operation as part of the production process.
Configuration Options
Nilfisk offers the VHW310 with options including:
- Stainless steel version.
- Absolute filtration version.
- Easy-to-remove and empty container.
- Easy upgrade capability.
These options allow the VHW310 to be configured according to specific application requirements.
Nilfisk VHW311 – Flexible for Fixed or Mobile Applications

While the VHW310 focuses on integration into process machines and OEM applications, the Nilfisk VHW311 offers greater flexibility in use.
The VHW311 is an industrial vacuum designed for fixed or mobile applications. Its completely hooded design makes the machine easy to clean and sanitize.
Completely Hooded for Easier Cleaning
According to Nilfisk, the VHW311 features a completely hooded design, making it easy to clean and sanitize while supporting better GMP conformity.
Continuous 24/7 Operation
The VHW311 is also designed for continuous duty 24/7, supporting applications where continuous vacuum operation is required.
Multiple Options for Different Requirements
The VHW311 offers configuration options including:
- Explosionproof ATEX version.
- Stainless steel version.
- Absolute filtration version.
- Standard manual filter shaker.
- Easy-to-remove and empty container.
- Easy upgrade capability.
What Is the Difference Between the VHW310 and VHW311?
Both the VHW310 and VHW311 are part of Nilfisk's industrial vacuum range for food, pharmaceutical and OEM applications, and both are designed for continuous 24/7 operation.
However, their primary positioning is different:
- VHW310: focused on integration into process machines and OEM applications, with an especially compact footprint.
- VHW311: designed for greater flexibility in fixed or mobile applications, with a completely hooded design and multiple configuration options.
The choice between the VHW310 and VHW311 should therefore be based on how the vacuum will be used within the process, available installation space and the specific operating requirements, rather than simply on the model name.
Integrated Vacuuming – A More Proactive Approach to Production
For processes where dust is continuously generated, capturing material at the source can provide a more proactive approach to cleaning and material control.
Rather than viewing an industrial vacuum only as equipment used after production, businesses can consider solutions designed to work alongside the production process.
With the VHW310, the vacuum can be integrated into OEM process machinery. With the VHW311, businesses have greater flexibility through fixed or mobile configurations, depending on their operating requirements.
