Core offering

Ruwac Industriesauger GmbH develops and manufactures industrial extraction and vacuum systems used to capture dust, chips, and liquids in manufacturing environments. The portfolio spans mobile industrial vacuums, stationary process-near dedusting systems, chip and liquid separators, heavy-duty and high-performance vacuums, wet separators, custom-engineered extraction plants, and a full accessories range, all designed and built in Germany.

Product overview

RUWAC Industriesauger GmbH offers a modular portfolio of industrial vacuum and extraction solutions spanning portable units, stationary dedusting systems, chip/liquid separators, heavy-duty vacuum cleaners, wet separators, process modules, custom extraction plants, and accessories. The core portable lineup includes the R01 (available in battery, single-phase, and three-phase variants), R24 (for critical dusts), and DS2. Stationary dedusting systems include the DS3, DS6, and R13. Chip and liquid vacuum products cover the R10, R11, and WSP. Heavy-duty models are the DA5 and R15. Wet separators include the NA7, NA35, and NA250. Process modules comprise the R25 (vacuum cell), R26 (dry pre-separator), and Vorabscheider (pre-separator). The portfolio is rounded out by custom project-based extraction plants, disposal and collection systems, and a full range of accessories including suction arms, nozzles, hoses, and brushes. The products share a common engineering foundation (side-channel blowers, GFK housings, ATEX compliance options) and are designed for integration into industrial manufacturing processes.

Products and services

• R01 Mobile Industrial Vacuum Cleaner Mobile industrial vacuum cleaner available in battery (R01 D), single-phase (R01 A), and three-phase (R01 R022) variants; the all-round standard model for flexible dust, chip, and liquid capture at industrial sites.
• R24 Mobile Industrial Vacuum for Critical Dusts Mobile industrial vacuum specialist for hazardous and critical dusts, built with ACD/ATEX-compatible spark-free and antistatic construction.
• DS2 Mobile Industrial Vacuum Cleaner Mobile industrial vacuum cleaner setting the mobile performance standard; engineered for demanding continuous-duty applications.
• DS3 Stationary Dedusting System Stationary dedusting system designed for fine, non-depositing dusts; built for continuous industrial 24/7 operation.
• DS6 Stationary Dedusting System Stationary dedusting system for suspended dust and continuous-load applications; process-near dust extraction for industrial environments.
• R13 Machine-Near Process Extraction System Machine-near process extraction system that captures dust directly at the point of generation on production equipment.
• R10 Chip and Liquid Vacuum Separator Compact chip and liquid vacuum separator for smaller quantities that reliably captures chips, liquids, and sludge at the machine.
• R11 Chip and Liquid Vacuum Chip and liquid vacuum with separation as a process competency; captures chips, liquids, and residue, separates cleanly, and enables controlled media return.
• WSP Water Vacuum Cleaner Water vacuum cleaner (Wassersauger) for liquid capture and wet applications in industrial environments.
• DA5 High-Performance Vacuum Cleaner High-performance vacuum cleaner with high capacity as a fixed process component; designed for extreme volumes, long runtimes, and demanding continuous industrial applications.
• R15 Heavy-Duty Vacuum Cleaner Heavy-duty vacuum cleaner for heavy loads at varying locations; built for large quantities, long runtimes, and demanding industrial processes.
• NA7 Compact Wet Separator Compact wet separator (Nassabscheider) for smaller dust volumes; binds explosive and critical dusts safely in liquid medium for standards-compliant processes.
• NA35 Industrial Wet Separator Industrial wet separator all-rounder for continuous processes; handles continuous dust capture with liquid-bound dust separation.
• NA250 High-Performance Wet Separator System High-performance wet separator system for extreme volumes and continuous load; designed for the highest dust volumes in continuous industrial operation.
• R25 Vacuum Cell Process Module Vacuum cell (Vakuumzelle) for large material quantities; enables vacuum conveying of large material volumes as a process module that extends the core extraction systems.
• R26 Dry Pre-Separator Dry pre-separator (Trockenvorabscheider) for material recovery and cost efficiency; separates material before the vacuum to protect filters and enable material return.
• Vorabscheider Pre-Separator Pre-separator that separates material before the vacuum unit, protecting filters and extending service life of the extraction system.
• Absauganlagen & Projektlösungen (Extraction Plants & Project Solutions) Custom-designed extraction plants and project solutions; tailored extraction systems for clean air, safe processes, and maximum efficiency in specific industrial applications.
• Entsorgungssysteme & Sammellösungen (Disposal & Collection Systems) Need-based disposal and collection systems for extraction solutions; collection containers, pans, and disposal integrations that determine how stable extraction processes run.
• Zubehör (Accessories) Full range of accessories including suction arms, floor nozzles, brushes, nozzles, insertion bags, fork pieces, hand tubes, hinged lids, hoses, transitions, pre-separator containers, and other accessories for industrial extraction systems.

Direct peers

• Plymovent: Dutch manufacturer of fume extraction, dust collection and filtration systems for metalworking, welding and process industries. Comparable product scope (mobile + stationary extraction) with stronger global distribution reach.
• Nederman: Swedish manufacturer of industrial air filtration, fume and dust extraction solutions serving metalworking, welding and process industries globally. Directly comparable to RUWAC in product offering (mobile and stationary extraction) and end markets (chemical, metal, food).
• ULT AG: German specialist in industrial fume and dust extraction with a focus on laser, additive manufacturing and electronics applications. Comparable German niche player with overlapping powder-handling and air-filtration technology.
• Depureco Industrial Vacuums: Italian manufacturer of industrial vacuums and dust extraction systems for ATEX and heavy-duty applications. Closely comparable niche European competitor in mobile and stationary industrial extraction.
• Esta Apparatebau: German manufacturer of mobile and stationary industrial vacuums and dust extraction systems for metalworking, additive manufacturing and process industries. Closely matched to RUWAC's mobile vacuum and ATEX product range.
• Keller Lufttechnik: German manufacturer of industrial dust extraction and dedusting systems for metal, automotive, foundry and process industries. Comparable mid-sized German competitor with overlapping stationary dedusting portfolio and similar Mittelstand positioning.
• Delfin Industrial Vacuums: Italian manufacturer of industrial vacuum cleaners and extraction systems for food, pharma, metal and chemical industries. Comparable specialty mid-sized European manufacturer with similar modular product philosophy.

Broad incumbents

• Donaldson Company: US-listed global leader in industrial filtration including dust collection, fume extraction and process air filtration. Broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities, larger R&D budget and global service network.
• Nilfisk: Danish manufacturer of professional and industrial cleaning equipment including industrial vacuums. Overlaps with RUWAC's mobile industrial vacuum category but operates a much broader cleaning portfolio.

Others

• Rösler Oberflächentechnik: German manufacturer of surface finishing and shot-blast equipment, commonly purchased alongside dust extraction systems in the same metal processing and surface treatment facilities. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor.
