Reinforced polyamide: the lightweight and durable alternative to aluminum in Gisowatt vacuums

More strength, less weight: the innovation of plastic materials in industrial vacuums

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 vacuums with LATI’s glass-fiber reinforced structural compounds.

To ensure reliability and durability in demanding environments, Gisowatt selected materials capable of withstanding extreme stresses, including aggressive dirt, humidity, detergents, and challenging operating conditions. Operator safety and long-term durability remain top priorities, making a solution with superior performance to aluminum essential.

LATAMID 66 H2 G/50: high-performance for industrial applications

The chosen material is LATAMID 66 H2 G/50, a polyamide 66 reinforced with 50% glass fiber, adopted for the high-performance vacuum line, including the PC80 Twin Power 36 model with 110 m³/h capacity.

This structural compound ensures:

• Breaking loads exceeding 2000 kg/cm², ideal for components subject to high stress;
• Resistance to high temperatures, maintaining structural integrity and performance;
• Advanced chemical stabilization, ensuring durability against detergents and aggressive substances;
• Long-term durability, even after years of intensive use;
• Lightweight design, offering a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminum.

Sustainability and carbon footprint reduction

The use of reinforced technical plastics not only enhances mechanical performance but also helps reduce carbon footprint, especially when adopting LATIECO versions, which are made with recycled polymer matrices and are also available in high-performance grades.

Replacing aluminum with advanced structural compounds is a strategic choice for Gisowatt, optimizing the performance, durability, and environmental impact of its professional vacuums. LATAMID 66 H2 G/50 is confirmed as the ideal solution for those seeking a metal alternative without compromising reliability and robustness.
