R15
Power. Endurance. Safety.
Built for high-volume production, long operating cycles, and demanding industrial processes—featuring a 150-liter tank, a 3-mm steel housing, and automatic filter cleaning for reliable 24/7 operation.
The R15 is a high-performance mobile industrial vacuum designed for large volumes of dust and continuous operation. Its 150-liter tank, robust steel construction, and side-channel compressor ensure reliable performance in 24/7 use. Automatic filter cleaning keeps suction power consistent. Optionally available in dust class H and ATEX zone 22. For heavy-duty applications with high safety requirements.
The highlights.
Heavy-duty yet flexible.
The R15 is built to handle large volumes—without sacrificing maneuverability. With its 150-liter hopper, rugged chassis, and integrated forklift pockets, it can be moved right to where the material needs to be collected. No detours, no workarounds, no compromises in the workflow.
At the same time, the durable side-channel compressor ensures consistently high suction power during continuous operation. The R15 reliably handles large amounts of dust, long shifts, and demanding materials—supported by automatic filter cleaning and a design engineered for stability and quiet operation.
Thus, the R15 combines two characteristics that rarely go hand in hand: true heavy-duty capability and practical mobility. An industrial vacuum that is not designed to be stationary, but can function as a stationary unit at any time. For processes that require performance—and demand flexibility.
Large quantities. Right at the source.
- 150-liter containers for high volumes
- No intermediate containers, no transfer
Continuous operation without breaks
- Vane compressors for 24/7 operation
- Automatic filter cleaning during operation
Designed for mobility. Built for industrial use.
- Integrated chassis and forklift pockets
- Quickly repositioned, securely positioned
- Can also be used in stationary applications
The R15 is more than just a mobile heavy-duty vacuum cleaner. It is designed to seamlessly become part of a process. Through defined connection options, it can be permanently integrated into production workflows—as a stationary extraction unit offering full power and high availability.
The system is deliberately kept simple: robust technology, clear airflow, no complex auxiliary units. The result is a vacuum cleaner that runs reliably when processes cannot be interrupted—whether as a fixed component of a production line or as a powerful problem-solver at varying locations.
This creates a work tool that doesn’t have to choose between mobile or stationary. Instead, it masters both—without conversion, without loss of performance, and without operational adjustments.

Thinking ahead.
At RUWAC, it all starts with a simple question: What do you really need?
Whether it’s a standard model, a modular design, or a custom-built system—we don’t build for the average, but for specific applications. For your processes. Your requirements. Your safety. We make the technically feasible a reality. And what doesn’t yet exist, we develop—together with you.
Because when it comes to industrial extraction, we never settle for standard solutions. Only for the best solution.
Strong in the details.
RUWAC industrial vacuum cleaners aren’t just made of high-quality components—they’re built on well-thought-out solutions. From the filter to the drive system, every detail is designed for durability, safety, and efficiency. For everyone who relies on reliable technology every day.
Strength brings peace.
At the heart of the R15 is a durable side-channel blower designed for continuous operation without any loss of performance. The beltless design reduces wear points, minimizes maintenance requirements, and ensures quiet, stable operation—even at high flow rates and during long shifts. The result is consistent suction power where downtime is not an option.
Large volumes. Effortlessly handled.
The 150-liter container is designed for bulky and heavy materials. Thanks to its tilting mechanism, the container can be emptied in a controlled and effortless manner, while integrated forklift pockets enable safe transport even when full. This ensures that disposal remains predictable, fast, and free of unnecessary extra steps—even when materials accumulate frequently.
Performance that sustains itself.
Large filter surfaces reduce the load on the filter during operation. The differential pressure-controlled cleaning system operates automatically and cleans the filter while the process is running—without shutting down the system or requiring manual intervention. This keeps suction performance stable, extends service life, and significantly reduces maintenance requirements.
Safety, built in.
For use in potentially explosive atmospheres, the R15 is available in a zone 22 design variant. Its conductive design, tested components, and well-thought-out grounding concepts ensure that safety is not an optional add-on, but an integral part of the overall system.
Maintenance that goes the extra mile.
Industrial vacuum cleaners have to work—all the time. With over 30 service technicians throughout Germany, we’re there when you need us. In person. Quickly. Right on site.
