Compact Industrial Vacuum for Shavings, Press Remnants & Coarse Dust

The Kärcher IVR-B 30/15 is a compact industrial vacuum designed for the reliable collection of press remnants, shavings, coarse solids and small quantities of dust in demanding production environments.

Its low-profile design, robust stainless steel collection container and durable side channel blower make it particularly well suited to the metalworking and plastics-processing industries. The machine can be positioned between, beneath or alongside production equipment, making it a practical choice where space is limited. Kärcher also designed the IVR-B 30/15 with minimal unnecessary components, helping keep operation straightforward and maintenance requirements low.

Compact Design for Production Areas

One of the main advantages of the IVR-B 30/15 is its small and low-profile construction.

This allows the vacuum to be installed or positioned close to production machinery without taking up excessive floor space. It is particularly useful where a conventional industrial vacuum would be too large or difficult to integrate into the working area.

Key benefits include:

• Compact footprint
• Easy positioning beside production machinery
• Suitable for installation between, on or under equipment
• Ideal for space-restricted industrial areas
• Simple and straightforward operation
• Low maintenance requirements

Wear-Resistant Side Channel Blower

The IVR-B 30/15 uses a durable side channel blower designed for prolonged industrial operation.

Kärcher specifies a service life of at least 20,000 hours, making the machine suitable for multi-shift use and continuous applications such as integration into production lines. An effective silencer also helps reduce operating noise.

• Operational advantages include:
• Strong and consistent suction
• Designed for continuous operation
• Suitable for multi-shift environments
• Long blower service life
• Reduced operating noise
• Ideal for production-line applications

Durable Cartridge Filtration

A compact cartridge filter allows the IVR-B 30/15 to collect solids and small quantities of dust up to Dust Class M.

This makes the machine suitable for a range of dry industrial residues while retaining a simple filter arrangement that is easy to understand and maintain.

It is important to note that the machine is intended for small quantities of dust up to M-Class, rather than being positioned as a dedicated high-volume hazardous-dust extractor.

This is not a M class certified machine but it has higher filtration rate than standard vacuums

Stainless Steel Collection Container

The freestanding stainless steel collection container is built to withstand demanding industrial conditions.

It can be lifted away from the machine base when emptying is required, while safety clips on the lid help secure the contents during transport.

This arrangement makes disposal more practical and reduces the need to move the complete vacuum when only the collection container needs to be emptied.

Best Applications

The Kärcher IVR-B 30/15 is particularly well suited to compact industrial environments where dry solids and small amounts of dust need to be collected close to machinery.

Metalworking

Ideal for collecting metal shavings, press remnants and coarse production debris around machining and forming equipment.

Plastics Processing

Well suited to collecting suitable plastic shavings, offcuts and dry production residues generated during processing operations.

Production Lines

The durable side channel blower makes the machine a strong choice for fixed or semi-stationary use alongside production equipment.

Workshops & Industrial Maintenance

Useful for targeted cleaning around machinery and workstations where a compact industrial vacuum is more practical than a larger mobile machine.

Suitable Materials for Recovery

Subject to the specific material and workplace assessment, the IVR-B 30/15 is suitable for:

• Press remnants
• Metal shavings
• Plastic shavings
• Coarse dry solids
• Small quantities of fine dust
• Suitable materials up to Dust Class M
• Dry production debris

For combustible, hazardous or specialised materials, suitability should always be confirmed before use.

Why Choose the Kärcher IVR-B 30/15?

The Kärcher IVR-B 30/15 is an excellent choice for businesses that need dependable industrial vacuum performance in a very compact format.

Its combination of a long-life side channel blower, stainless steel collection container, compact cartridge filtration and low-profile design makes it particularly well suited to installation close to production machinery. The simplified construction also helps reduce maintenance while supporting reliable everyday operation.

For metalworking facilities, plastics processors, production lines and industrial workshops, the IVR-B 30/15 provides a durable and space-efficient solution for collecting shavings, coarse solids and small quantities of dust.
