More strength, less weight: the innovation of plastic materials for industrial vacuum cleaners.

Gisowatt, an Italian company of the Tecnoplastica group specializing in professional cleaning equipment, has chosen to innovate by replacing the aluminum in the front brushes of its vacuum cleaners with LATI structural compounds reinforced with glass fiber.

To ensure reliability and durability in complex environments, Gisowatt has chosen materials capable of withstanding extreme stress, including aggressive dirt, moisture, detergents, and challenging operating conditions. Operator safety and long-term durability remain absolute priorities, necessitating a solution with performance superior to aluminum.

LATAMID 66 H2 G/50: High Performance for Industrial Applications

The choice fell on LATAMID 66 H2 G/50, a polyamide 66 reinforced with 50% glass fiber, adopted for the high-performance vacuum cleaner line, including the PC80 Twin Power 36 model with 110 m³/h.
This structural compound ensures:

  • Breaking loads exceeding 2000 kg/cm², ideal for components subject to stress;
  • Resistance to high temperatures, maintaining structural integrity and performance;
  • Advanced chemical stabilization, to resist detergents and aggressive substances;
  • Long-term durability, even after years of intense use;
  • Lightweight, with an advantageous strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminum.

Sustainability and Carbon Footprint Reduction

The use of reinforced technical plastics not only improves mechanical performance but also helps reduce the carbon footprint, especially if one then decides to adopt LATIECO versions made with recycled polymer matrices, which are already available even for the highest-performing grades.

Replacing aluminum with advanced structural compounds represents a strategic choice for Gisowatt, optimizing performance, durability, and environmental impact of their professional vacuum cleaners. LATAMID 66 H2 G/50 proves to be an ideal solution for those seeking an alternative to metal without sacrificing reliability and robustness.
