V-TUF shows how to accessorise in the run up to 2018 In September 2017, V-TUF launched one of the most cost effective M Class Vacuum solutions in the market, with the aim of making compliant dust extraction achievable to the masses. With the success of this launch, and subsequent customer feedback, the product innovation team based at their East Midlands


headquarters began working on further add on solutions to ensure that no problem was left unsolved. In the November review of the V-TUF M class vacuum, conducted by Peter Brett for Tool Business+ Hire, he mentioned the


issue of no auxiliary plug for connecting corded power tools whilst using the dust extraction vac, but that light was on the horizon. After considerable testing and development, the product team at V-TUF HQ introduced the V-TUF Synergy at the end of


November. What was originally coined the ‘Flick’ evolved into the ‘Synergy’ as it allowed for exactly that. The synchronised use of your


dust extraction vacuum and power tools, removing the problem of only being able to extract fully after the job was completed. Following suit and also launched at the end of November was the V-TUF Cobra, a shave hook dust extraction accessory


focused on removing dust and small shavings during removal of paintwork on wood surfaces. The Cobra promises safe, quick and cost efficient preparation on site. For further information please visit www.fencogroup.com


Dust extraction specialist launches compact new machine for easy transport Dustcontrol a dust extraction firm in the UK has launched a new mobile extractor that offers improved mobility and easy transport for on-site use. The DC Storm provides the same high level of extraction power of previous Dustcontrol UK models, but its


compact height allows for easy transport in regular-sized vans and trailers, making it perfect for the hire industry and wider construction industry. Able to handle the fine dusts and materials created through common construction techniques, the DC Storm can be


connected to floor grinders, cutting tools, chisel hammers, saws and more. James Miller, Dustcontrol UK’s General Manager, commented: “The DC Storm helps to combat potential


maneuverability issues. With workers often moving handheld equipment and kit such as floor grinders from site to site, we recognised the importance of easily transportable dust extraction equipment.” He continued: “A similar three-phase model, the DC 5900, while offering powerful extraction, often had to be


transported on its side in vans. With the DC Storm, however, it’s possible to transport it upright in a regular van, allowing for extra room to load additional equipment.” Many different models of the DC Storm are available, but all feature a direct-driven, three-phase turbo pump


suitable for continuous operation, heavy material transport, spot extraction and cleaning. The pump also provides sufficient airflow for simultaneous multiple use when used as a central unit in a semi-mobile system. It’s durable design and sturdy steel chassis helps to ensure its longevity. As standard the machine is equipped with a patented semi-automatic reverse pulse filter cleaning system and an


HEPA 13 filter. It is built to Application Class H, unlike many other products, which are only M class standard. The use of H13 filters guarantees 99.97% capture of all particles greater than 0.3 microns meaning air exhausted from the Storm is the cleanest it can be. A gauge shows when it’s time to activate the filter cleaning. James Miller concluded: “The DC Storm is just the latest example of how we look to update our extraction


equipment to fit the needs of the end user. With dust a serious issue in many industries, it’s important that we do what we can to make extraction as easy and as efficient as possible.” For further information on Dustcontrol UK’s new products including the DC Storm please phone 01327 858001 or
