Numatic Vacuum Cleaners | Commercial & Industrial Tub Vacuums

While they share the iconic "Henry" look, Numatic’s professional range is engineered for the rigours of daily commercial use, with many models now featuring ReFlo technology—using up to 75% high-quality recycled plastic.

• The NRV240 (Commercial Henry): The heavy-duty classic. It features a larger 9-litre drum, a high-impact protective bumper, and a long 12.5-metre rewind cable.
• The PPR Series (Professional Performance): Part of the ReFlo range, models like the PPR170 feature the NuCable plugged system. This allows an operator to replace a damaged cable in seconds without tools. It includes a professional manual cable rewind for neat storage.
• The PRP Series (Professional Eco): The PRP180 is designed for high-performance cleaning with a focus on simplicity. Unlike the PPR, it features a non-rewinding cable system, where the cable is manually coiled around the handle, reducing moving parts and long-term maintenance.
• The PRH180 (Eco Professional): This is the most stripped-back and economical model in the professional lineup. It provides the core Numatic power and reliability in a simplified format, making it the most budget-friendly entry point for commercial cleaning contractors.
• The Professional Advantage: All these models (NRV, PPR, PRP, PRH) are designed with longer cables to reduce "plug-hopping" and feature high-efficiency motors optimized for 8+ hours of daily operation.

It is highly recommended that you always use a genuine HepaFlo bag. While some users believe they can use the machine bagless, doing so allows fine dust to clog the primary Tritex filter and enter the motor. This significantly reduces suction power, increases motor wear, and voids your warranty. Using HepaFlo bags ensures high-efficiency filtration and keeps the internal components of your machine in pristine condition.

Yes. In fact, many customers prefer commercial-grade tub hoovers for domestic use because they are built for 8-hour daily shifts. They feature longer power cables (often 10m+), larger drum capacities, and more rugged motors than standard retail vacuums, offering significantly better value over a 10-to-20-year lifespan.

Yes, especially when equipped with HepaFlo bags. The combination of the multi-layer dust bag and the large Tritex filter provides high-level filtration as standard. For environments requiring superior air quality, the Numatic PPR170H is the ideal professional choice. It features a certified HEPA H13 filter integrated into the motor head, ensuring that 99.97% of particles—including fine pollen, pet dander, and dust mites—are trapped inside the machine, significantly improving the air quality in your home or workspace.

Numatic machines are legendary for their longevity, often lasting decades with basic maintenance. To ensure peak performance:

• Change the bag when it is two-thirds full to maintain maximum airflow.
• Clean the Tritex filter every few months by gently tapping it outside.
• Inspect the cable for nicks or twists—professional Numatic models feature the "NuCable" system, allowing you to plug in a replacement lead instantly without technical tools.
