    Clean separation. Reliable processes.

    Clean separation. Reliable processes.

    In metalworking, chips and liquids are generated not one after the other, but simultaneously. This is exactly what the R11 is designed for.

    Wet metal chips are reliably captured and retained in the chip basket, while coolants are collected separately and discharged in a controlled manner. Solids and liquids do not mix again—they remain manageable.

    This reduces manual cleaning work, protects machines, and maintains the quality of the media. Coolant can be reused, and chips can be disposed of cleanly or recycled. The machining area remains tidy, safe, and ready for use.

    The R11 separates where it counts: directly in the process.
    Not downstream. Not improvised. But stable, reproducible, and designed for continuous operation.

    Clear media routing

    • Metal chips and liquids are consistently separated

    Process reliability at the machine

    • Clean work area, fewer downtimes

    Recyclable media

    • Cooling lubricants remain usable; chips can be conveyed separately
    When fluid sets the pace.

    When fluid sets the pace.

    In many applications, the problem isn’t the chips themselves, but the amount of fluid that comes with them. This is exactly where the R11 really shines.

    Depending on the design variant, the R11 can not only vacuum but also pump out liquids simultaneously. While chips remain in the basket, the coolant is discharged in a controlled manner—without interrupting the workflow. Even with high liquid content, the vacuum remains effective and the process remains manageable.

    This speeds up cleaning and maintenance work, prevents overflowing containers, and reduces downtime around machines and systems. Fluid is not temporarily stored but is moved precisely—exactly when it is generated.

    The R11 treats liquid not as a byproduct, but as an active part of the process. For stable operations, clean handoffs, and faster restart times.

    High liquid content safely managed

    • – Reliable operation even when the material being sucked up is heavily wet

    Expressing and pumping in one step

    • – No interruptions, no overcrowding

    Back in the process faster

    • – Less downtime, less manual rework

    Built for your application.

    The R11 series is designed for processes in which chips and liquids are generated simultaneously—and must be kept strictly separate. It is ideal for any environment where metalworking takes place in continuous operation, cooling media are used, and cleanliness is essential to process reliability. From lathes and milling machines to grinding and drilling machines and complex manufacturing cells—the R11 supports stable operations, reduces manual cleaning work, and makes media flows manageable. Robust, adaptable, and consistently designed for everyday industrial use.

    Metal chips and coolants

    In metalworking, the RUWAC R11 separates liquids and solids directly at the machine. Wet chips, heavy metal particles, and fine residues are reliably collected and separated from the coolant. This enables targeted recycling of the fluids, reduces downtime, and keeps the work area clean—ensuring stable processes and cost-effective recycling.

    Polycarbonate pellets and liquids

    When handling large quantities of polycarbonate, the R11 collects both granules and liquid simultaneously. The built-in screen immediately separates the two materials: the granules remain in the chip basket, while the liquid is collected separately or pumped out. This ensures clean floors, safe working conditions, and clearly separated material streams that are easy to dispose of or reuse.

    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 housing to the media routing, every detail is designed to keep processes safe, clean, and under control. For everyone who works with chips, liquids, and demanding conditions on a daily basis.

    Automatic level protection.

    The R11 automatically detects when the maximum liquid volume has been reached and reliably interrupts the suction flow. This prevents over-suction without the need for manual monitoring of the process. This protects both the machine and the operator—and ensures stable operation even when large volumes of liquid are present.

    Aerosol-free exhaust air ex-factory.

    Even in its standard configuration, the R11’s exhaust air is already free of aerosols. Certified filter media reliably prevent fine dust or spray mist from escaping into the surrounding area. This protects employees, keeps work areas clean, and makes the R11 a safe solution for production environments with high standards for cleanliness and health protection.

    Chip basket for clean media separation.

    The easily removable chip basket reliably separates solids from the cooling lubricant. Wet chips are securely retained, while the liquid is collected separately. This simplifies disposal and recycling, extends the service life of the coolant, and ensures clean, efficient metalworking processes.

    Optional pump function – depending on the process.

    The optional pump enhances the R11 where it makes sense: if needed, liquids can be pumped out simultaneously with suction—even in large volumes. If this function is not required, it is simply omitted. This allows the R11 to be tailored precisely to the specific process—both technically sound and economically efficient.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    The R11 is specifically designed for processes involving metal chips, coolant, and a mixture of both. Typical applications include lathes, milling machines, grinders, and drilling machines—anywhere where wet chips are produced and need to be separated cleanly.

    Yes. The R11 is designed specifically for this purpose. Solids and liquids are routed separately during suction: chips remain in the chip basket, while liquids are collected in the collection tank or—depending on the design variant—pumped out simultaneously.

    An integrated level sensor with automatic shut-off cuts off the suction flow as soon as the maximum liquid level is reached. This protects the vacuum cleaner, prevents over-suction, and ensures safe operation without manual monitoring.

    Yes. The three-phase current versions of the R11 are designed for continuous operation. A separate cooling air supply for the drive ensures that suction power and operational reliability remain stable even during long periods of operation.

    Yes. The R11 is configured to meet specific application requirements—for example, with or without a pump, as a single-phase or three-phase current version, and with appropriate waste disposal solutions. The result is not a standard product, but a solution that is precisely tailored to the specific process.
