Nilfisk VHS 42 M/H Dust Extractor – Dust Class M & H Certified Wet & Dry Vacuum
The Nilfisk VHS 42 M/H dust extractor series sets a new standard for performance, filtration safety, and professional-grade design in the Nilfisk wet & dry vacuum portfolio.
Built for demanding construction and industrial environments, this range combines powerful suction, sealed dust handling, and Dust Class M/H certification to support safer workplaces and improved productivity.
Designed to meet the toughest requirements in building, construction, workshops, and industrial applications, the VHS 42 M/H delivers reliable hazardous dust extraction with advanced filtration technology. The machine is engineered to protect worker health while ensuring strong, consistent suction performance throughout operation.
The VHS 42 M/H range offers exceptional efficiency thanks to Push&Clean™ semi-automatic filter cleaning on selected models and the advanced InfiniClean™ automatic filter cleaning system. InfiniClean™ continuously cleans the filter during operation using a reverse air-flow pulse, maintaining suction at a high level and significantly reducing downtime. This allows the container to be filled without frequent filter maintenance, improving workflow on site.
To minimise dust exposure during disposal, Nilfisk provides multiple dust bag options suited to hazardous dust applications. The washable PTFE long-life filter with a non-stick membrane offers minimum 99.9% filtration efficiency, reducing maintenance requirements and overall operating costs. For maximum safety, H-Class models offer an optional dual HEPA filtration solution with 3-stage filtration.
A built-in flow sensor with combined acoustic and LED warning monitors airflow and filtration performance to ensure safe operation. Robust construction, steel castors, bumper protection, and integrated storage solutions make the VHS 42 M/H easy to transport and handle between worksites.
H-Class models are only available through select dealers.
