Märkäkuivaimet

Märkäkuivaimet, also known as wet/dry vacuums or shop vacuums, are versatile cleaning appliances designed to handle both wet spills and dry debris. Unlike standard household vacuum cleaners, which are typically designed for dry dust and dirt only, märkäkuivaimet can safely and effectively suck up liquids such as water, oil, or other non-flammable fluids.

The operation of a märkäkuivain involves a powerful motor that creates suction, drawing air and debris through an intake hose. The collected material is then deposited into a collection tank. For dry use, a filter, usually made of paper or fabric, separates the dirt from the air before it is expelled. For wet use, this filter is removed, and the tank is capable of holding a significant volume of liquid. Some models also incorporate a float mechanism that automatically shuts off suction when the tank reaches its maximum capacity to prevent overflow.

Märkäkuivaimet are commonly used in workshops, garages, construction sites, and for household cleaning tasks that involve spills or significant amounts of debris. They are particularly useful for cleaning up after DIY projects, dealing with minor floods, or maintaining cleanliness in areas prone to dirt and moisture. Their robust construction and multi-functional capabilities make them a valuable tool for a wide range of cleaning challenges.
