The Dutch industrial vacuum product range from Verhagen Leiden, newly available in the UK via sole agent, Industar, looks really set to prove its worth in the woodworking sector.
Launched in the UK a few months ago, Yorkshire-based Industar, says the feedback about the vacuum is really positive and everyone who has trialled it, comments on its superior performance.
An early customer to purchase the Verhagen F3313 Industrial and Turbo model, Christopher Shaw, director of Essex-based Garner and Shaw, says that since investing in the vacuum he has been very impressed at how easy it is to use and its overall performance.
Operating in the architectural and wood finishing sector, Garner and Shaw has been providing specialist wood spraying services to architects, door manufacturers, joinery companies and interior designers for over 30 years.
With a 32-strong workforce employed over two sites, Mr Shaw takes his responsibilities to create a safe working environment seriously, making the removal of waste from dust and wood shavings a key priority. When looking to purchase a new industrial cleaner he was impressed by the features and cleaning ability of the Verhagen F3313 model and delighted with its performance.
He says: “The powerful suction ensures a clean environment each and every time and I would be happy to recommend it and Industar to anyone operating in the woodworking industry, where waste is an issue.”
Verhagen Leiden has been established for over 50 years and its name is synonymous with quality in its native Netherlands. The product range is well known for its durability and low maintenance requirements. Given the onerous health and safety requirements within the woodworking industry and the necessity to keep the environment dust-free, Verhagen Leiden products have a ready-made market here, says Industar director, Ad Klabbers, also from the Netherlands.
He says: “The Verhagen Leiden range offers superb quality. I have grown up with the brand back home where it is a household name in the Netherlands. When we were selecting an industrial vacuum range to promote in the UK, this brand stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of its performance and durability. It also comes with a range of additional attachments to make it particularly adaptable for most workplaces, able to penetrate the tightest corners where dust may collect.
“Verhagen Leiden products can be used to quickly clean surfaces or as aspiration for production machines because they are equipped with the best filters in the market to ensure the highest possible filtration.
“We are so convinced of the product’s performance and its particular suitability for the woodworking sector that we will provide a no-obligation, free demonstration for any company that is interested to put one of our products to the test in its own workshop.
“We believe it is by far the best industrial vacuum cleaner on the market today.”
