1.1Hazard levels
CAUTION
Possible hazardous situation that could lead to mild injury
to persons or damage to property.
Note
Indicates useful tips and important information.
2When is a central vacuuming system
used?
– If the area to be vacuumed is locally fixed.
– If there is little space available at the working area.
– If the working areas are laid out over a large area and
several vacuuming points are therefore required.
– If the possible cleaning times must be limited due to the
production continuity
– If set-up and maintenance times are to be minimised.
– If the work environment must be kept hygienically
clean.
– If engine noises must be minimised in the working area.
– If large amounts of dust or fluid must be continuously
disposed of.
3Target groups for a central
vacuuming system
Typical target groups for stationary vacuuming systems:
– Food industry
– Processing of metal and steel
– Processing of glass and stone
– Production of paper
– Production of starch and tobacco
– Textile industry
– Automobile industry
– Construction
– Transport
4Advantages of a stationary
vacuuming system
– Immediately ready for operation, no set-up times.
– Space-saving, only the vacuuming accessories are at
the work station.
– Comfortable to use and safe to operate.
– Central suction unit and emptying at one point, thus,
space-saving and time-saving during maintenance.
– Long service life as parts transporting materials are
made of robust, sturdy material.
– Saving of costs thanks to the lower maintenance cost
of the entire system compared to several single systems.
– Saving of costs thanks to the acquisition costs com-
pared to single systems.
1 Description of the requirements and evaluation of the
situation of the customer.
2 Based on the known amount of material and material
characteristics to be vacuumed up, the number and
size of the vacuuming points and the resulting required
air speed is determined.
3 Planning of the routing.
4 Calculation of the pressure loss in the network with the
objective to optimise the line design
5 Matching with the vacuum cleaner types and detailed
planning of the routing.
6Components of a stationary
vacuuming system
6.1Suction unit
– All Kärcher industrial vacuums.
– Wet / dry vacuum cleaner and liquid aspirator.
– Explosion-proof vacuum cleaners are only certified for
the operation with defined hose lines.
The certification comprises a test of the total resistance
in the system (vacuum cleaner without accessories)
For a stationary system this can not be performed in ad-
vance.
If a customer requires an explosion-proof stationary
system, the installed system must be certified in a sin-
gle acceptance inspection by the named authority.
6.2Collection and disposal container
– Container sizes and types as per the current main cat-
alogue.
– The pre-separator system (as per main catalogue) with
80 l container or for drums can also be used as a dis-
posal container (observe nominal diameter).
– Disposal bags in various designs as per main cata-
logue.
6.3Filter
– All IV- and IVC vacuum cleaners have an integrated cy-
clone preseparator.
– Filter data of the main filters such as surface, material,
order number, etc. as per main catalogue.
6.4Formed parts pipeline
– 4 Standard diameter:
DN 60, DN 80, DN 100 and DN 120
– Modular system with flanged pipes and tension ring
connections.
Thus, flexible replacement and extension.
– In galvanised steel or stainless steel (1.4301)
– System is suitable for dusts, chips and fluids.
6.5Hose connections and switches
– Hose suspension with limit switch for the automatic
switch-on of the vacuum cleaner.
– Kärcher remote control for controlling the suction unit at
the vacuuming point.

7Prerequisite system planning
– Clarify with the customer in detail which requirements
the stationary system should fulfil.
The questionnaire for central vacuuming systems
5.906-589.0 helps, see Chapter "Annex 1 - Questionnaire central vacuuming systems 5.906-589.0“.
– The system design is based on the number of suction
stations to be operated in parallel and the amount of
material to be transported per vacuuming point.
8Basics of the system planning
8.1Air speed
Air is the transport medium for the vacuumed material. To
ensure that the vacuumed material is transported in the
entire pipeline network without depositing (material deposit) and clogging, a steady air speed must be present in the
network.
The required air speed varies for different vacuumed materials.
On its way through the line network the individual particle
of the vacuumed material does not fly straight from the
suction station to the disposal container. Thus, it always
requires more time from the vacuuming point to the disposal container than the air speed gives you reason to expect.
For this reason, an after-running time of the vacuum cleaner must always be provided for to prevent depositing due
to early switch-off.
Note
The perfect and thus targeted conveyance in the pipeline
is the flying transport.

8.2Route planning
Note
The objective is to keep the resistance in the pipeline system as small as possible.
– Always choose the shortest possible way.
– Course as straight as possible with as few cracks and
bends as possible.
– Use of the ways of other supply runs e.g. of present
pipelines, cable runs etc.
– No obstruction of ways or systems.
– Provide for easily accessible cleaning opening.
– Optimum installation height is 2-3 m.
– Plan the junctions on the same height or with a slight in-
cline to the main line.
– Always align Y-pieces to the side, never towards the
top or bottom (medium can drain).
– The overall cross section of the nozzle at the machine
to be vacuumed off and its branch should not exceed
the cross sectional area of the suction stub at the vacuum cleaner.
– The suction stub at one single machine must not be
larger than the total connection cross section at the
vacuum cleaner.
– 90° junctions (tees) must be avoided in general.
– With longer branch lines the cross section of the pipe-
line should be chosen larger than the suction nozzle
connection.
– A taper of the pipe cross section must only be designed
smaller from the vacuum cleaner to the vacuuming
points and should be as close as possible to the vacuuming point.
– Every vacuuming point should be equipped with a lock-
ing slide that is always closed after the switch-off of the
machine or the end of the suction process.
– Hoses have a high pressure loss due to their large fric-
tional resistance. Due to this circumstance, the hose
lengths must be reduced to a minimum.
– Always use a hose sleeve at the end of the hose, and
earth the wire helix of the hose on the hose sleeve by
means of a screw in order to create a potential equali-
sation.
– All pipelines must be connected in an electrically con-
ductive way from the machine branch to the intercept-
ing pipe.
8.3System planning
With the 4 given framework requirements a rough planning
of the stationary system can take place.
1 Spatial conditions.
2 Number of the overall and the simultaneously working
vacuuming points.
3 Required air speed.
4 Kärcher vacuum and pipeline programme.
Part one "Design pipe system" of the calculation tool for
stationary vacuuming systems can be used for the calculation of the pipe diameter (see Chapter "Calculation tool
pipe system design").
The inner diameter is calculated respectively and the pipe
closest to the calculated diameter is chosen.
With the fixed pipeline diameter the air speed actually
achieved must be calculated again.
If it does not suffice for the material to be vacuumed, the
pipeline must be redesigned or a more powerful vacuum
cleaner must be used.

9.2Calculation tool calculation of the pressure loss
1 Loss coefficient or also pressure loss coefficient, pres-
sure loss coefficient, drag coefficient is denominated
with factor here.
2 The mass flow rate indicates the mass of a medium that
moves through a cross section within a period of time.
The mass flow rate is also referred to as flow rate. As a
standard, it can be calculated with 1.0 here.
3 Air is the carrier gas.
Under standard conditions (temperature 20 °C and air
pressure 1013 mbar) the density of air is ~1.2 kg/m³.
4 The kinematic viscosity describes the relationship be-
tween dynamic viscosity and consistency.
Under standard conditions it is always 0.000015 m³/s.

10Calculation of the pressure loss
In an ideal line network no losses would occur and the necessary suction unit could be determined with the two parameters air speed and volume flow. In the real line
network, however, losses are created due to resistances
and turbulences. These must be calculated as pressure
losses in the pipeline network in order to determine the required suction performance.
With branched pipelines only the way that causes the
greatest pressure loss (main run) must be determined. For
the calculation of the pressure loss the overall length is divided in sections with the same air quantity (volume flow)
and the same diameter.
A Section 20 m pipeline
B Section 5 m pipeline
C Section 10 m hose
In the individual sections the pressure loss is calculated individually and then added up to the overall pressure loss.
When calculating the overall pressure loss it must be observed which vacuuming points are operated simultaneously.
For the determination of the pressure differences per section the branch lines do not need to be calculated as they
are not relevant for the overall pressure loss of the system.
Branch lines must be closed if they are not in operation
(e.g. with sliders, caps, etc.) so that no false air (see Chapter "Use and setting of the false air valve") is sucked out.
Note
A security of 10 to 20% should be present as the volume
flows can not always be adjusted in the way they have
been calculated and to cover imponderables.

10.3Alignment with vacuum cleaner characteristic
The overall pressure loss is aligned with the vacuum
cleaner characteristic to determine the actual volume flow.
In the shown example, an overall pressure loss of 27 mbar
was reached. With this value the volume flow of the vacuum cleaner is still 468 m³/h.
It must be checked with the calculation tool which air
speed is reached with this volume flow and the given pipe
diameter. If it is below the required value, either a vacuum
cleaner with more power must be chosen or the pipeline
must be redesigned.

11Sample calculation for the dimensioning of the vacuum cleaner
In this example calculation, a suction unit for a shop with 3
work stations is to be designed. The system is to be designed in a way that 2 vacuuming points can be operated
in parallel respectively.
Plastic granules are to be vacuumed up.
A Section: DN 80, 25 m, 3x Y-pieces, 2x 90° bends
B Section: DN 60, 5 m
C Section: DN 50, 5 m suction hose
Note
If they are not in operation, all branch lines are shut off by
means of a slide or a flap. At the end of the collecting pipe
(section A) a false air valve (see setting false air valve)
must be installed as the volume flow is pending there.
11.1Step 1
The total volume flow of all simultaneously operated vacuuming points is calculated for the calculation of the air
speed first.
Note
The air speed results from the available power of the vacuum cleaner (technical data), the number of vacuuming
points that are to be operated in parallel and the inner pipe
diameter of the line.
By means of the calculation tool a max. pipe diameter of
62 mm in the side arm is calculated from the volume flow
250 m³/h and the speed 23 m/s.
The closest diameter in the pipeline programme is DN 60.
As two vacuuming points are operated in parallel, there is
a max. volume flow of 2 x 250 m³/h in the collecting pipe.
For this the calculated pipe diameter with 87.68 mm (with
23 m/s and 500 m3/h) is DN 80.
11.3Step 3
Identification of the main run in the pipeline system: Main
run is the way that causes the greatest pressure loss.
Example:
IV 100/55 as per technical data sheet 139l/s, that equals
500 m³/h (calculated with the calculation tool).
With 2 vacuuming points the following applies:
Volume flow per vacuuming point:
500 m³/h / 2 vacuuming points = 250 m³/h per vacuuming
point.
Available volume flow per vacuuming point = 250 m³/h.
11.2Step 2
Now the maximum pipe diameter is calculated under consideration of the air speed.
Note
Determination of the pipe diameter by matching the available pipe sizes with the air speed required for the material.
As per the table in Chapter "Air speed", plastic granules Ø
2-3 mm require an air speed of 20-23 m/s.
Main run shaded in red.
11.4Step 4
Calculation of the air speed in the individual sections of the
main run by means of the calculation tool.
Example:

Note
All sections together reveal the entire pressure loss plus
10-20% security.
Example:

110.94 mbar + 15% security addition = ~128 mbar
27.63 m/s 32.63 mbar
35.37m/s 18.01 mbar
11.6Step 6
Alignment of the overall pressure loss with the vacuum
cleaner characteristic.
Example:
With a pressure loss performance of 128 mbar, a volume
flow of ~330 m³/h remains with IV 100/55.
English 5.906-587.0 Rev. 00 (05/14) 19
Page 20
11.7Step 7
11.9Step 9
Recalculation of the volume flow per vacuuming point.
Example:
IV 100/55 as per technical data sheet with a pressure loss
of 128 mbar = ~330 m³/h.
With 2 vacuuming points the following applies:
Volume flow per vacuuming point:
330m³/h / 2 vacuuming points = 165 m³/h per vacuuming
point.
11.8Step 8
Calculation of the actual flow velocities in the sections and
subsequent alignment with the required air speed of the
application, in the example 20-23 m/s.
Example:
Section
1DN 80330m³/h18.24m/s
2DN 60165m³/h16.21 m/s
3DN 50165m³/h23.34 m/s
In the sections 1 and 2 the required air speed of the example cannot be reached. Thus, a more powerful vacuum
cleaner must be used.
Note
In this example a reduction of the pipe diameter would increase the flow velocities in the relevant sections, however, it would also reduce the dissipation power and thus the
achievable volume flow.

The recalculation takes place analogously to the previous
example.
Step 1
The total volume flow of all simultaneously operated vacuuming points is calculated for the calculation of the air
speed first.
Example:
IV 100/75 as per technical data sheet 153l/s, that equals
550 m³/h according to the calculation tool.
With 2 vacuuming points the following applies:
Volume flow per vacuuming point:
550m³/h / 2 vacuuming points = 275 m³/h per vacuuming
point.
Available volume flow per vacuuming point = 275 m³/h
Step 2
Now the maximum pipe diameter is calculated under consideration of the flow velocities.
Example:
As per the table in Chapter "Air speed" plastic granules Ø
2-3 mm require a air speed of 20-23 m/s. By means of the
calculation tool a max. pipe diameter of 91 mm is calculated for section 1 from a volume flow of 550 m³/h and the
speed of 23 m/s. In due consideration of the air speed the
next smaller diameter is chosen from the pipeline programme. In the example DN 80.
Step 3
Calculation of the flow velocities in the individual sections
of the main run by means of the calculation tool.
Example:
Section
1DN 80500 m³/h30.39 m/s

68.43 mbar + 15% security addition = ~79 mbar
Step 5
Alignment with characterisitc.
Example:
With a pressure loss performance of 79 mbar, a volume
flow of ~420 m³/h remains with IV 100/75.
30.39 m/s 46.13 mbar
38.90 m/s 15.00 mbar

Step 6
Recalculation of the volume flow per vacuuming point.
Example:
With a pressure loss performance of 79 mbar, a volume
flow of ~420 m³/h remains with IV 100/75.
Volume flow per vacuuming point:
420m³/h / 2 vacuuming points = 210 m³/h per vacuuming
point.
Step 7
Calculation of the actual flow velocities in the sections and
subsequent alignment with the necessary air speed of the
application:

15Producing a flanged edge
15.1Information concerning border
sealings
Measure the fitting length and transfer it to the pipe (fit-
ting length + 7 mm for the flanged edge).
Set the flanging device with the edge to this length and
mark the cutting line over the circumference of the pipe.
Push back the flanging device and cut the pipe to length
using a cutoff wheel or a saw.

Turn up the projecting hose using a hammer until an
even, sharp-edged flanged edge has been created.

16General mounting instructions for the creation of tight connections
Note
Border sealings made of NBR (nitrile rubber) are suitable
for the use in the food sector (FDA approval available).
In the area of explosive gases and dusts the earthing of all
pipeline parts must be checked after the installation.
Conductive border sealings made of EPDM do not make
conductive connections with primed pipe parts due to the
insulating paint.
– Refinish damaged flanged edges (e.g. realign).
– Remove irregularities from the flanged edge (e.g. paint
bubbles, zinc drops).
– The weld seam at the flanged edge must not be ripped.
– Do not reuse damaged border sealings.
– The pipework must be laid free of tension.
– The flanged sealing ring must not form any loops during
the tension ring installation.
– Horizontally installed lines must be supported approx.
every 4 m. If there are several short pipe parts in the
line, the distance of the support points should be reduced. The same applies in case of additional loads.
Outgoing lines must be secured in a way that they do
not create a torque in the main line.
After installation, remove the transport lock by means
of the pliers.
The joints are permanently pressed onto both pipe
parts by means of spring force.
16.1Installation instructions earthing
bridge
CAUTION
With primed pipe parts the contact points must be freed
from the primer! A possible corrosion protection must be
conductive. (e.g. zinc spray).
CAUTION
Upon fastening the earthing bridge the tension ring screw
must be secured against unscrewing.
Screw the earthing bridge on the projecting thread of
the tension ring screw.
Tighten the earthing bridge with a torque of 8 to 10 Nm.
Note
– A thread projection of 8 mm suffices to secure the
earthing bridge.
– Required tools: Pliers and wrench SW 13 (better ratchet).
Check the spring tension by moving the joints after in-
stallation.
Should the spring force not suffice at extreme junctions, it
can be increased by the installation of one or two short
springs on the joints.

17.1Selecting the setup location
Make sure that a suitable power supply is available in the
immediate vicinity (see technical data of the vacuum
cleaner).
Note
– The scope of delivery does not include any fastening
material!
– The fastening material must be adapted to the local
consistency and condition of the wall and must be ordered separately.
– You will need:
4 x suitable fasteners with a load of 0.5 KN per dowel
and a pin diameter of max. 6 mm.
17.2Installation
Remove the remote control from its packaging and
check for completeness.
Mount remote control onto a suitable wall.
Connect the electric supply line via a CEE plug (DIN
49462/63) or a terminal box. (This work must be performed by a skilled and authorised electrician)
Mount and connect the starting devices (push button,
switch, coin acceptor, etc.)
Set the parameters.
17.3Functional description
– Remote control cabinet (No. 4.812-236.0) for the con-
nection of vacuum cleaners up to max. 7.5 KW via 230V,
CEE 16A 400V and CEE 32A 400V connections associated with four external start options.
A soft start can be optionally installed.
– Via the SPS menu various switching types can be select-
ed.
– Inching:
Press 1 x, vacuum cleaner is running, lamp is flashing.
Press again, the vacuum cleaner switches off and the
lamp goes out.
– Inching:
Press 1 x, vacuum cleaner is running, lamp is flashing.
After the set time under the parameters B20 to B30, the
vacuum cleaner switches off.
– Switching operation:
The vacuum cleaner runs as long as the switch is on
"ON".
– The "Lamp" signal can also be used for switching valves
or the like, for this purpose the parameters B129 to B135
must be changed accordingly.
– Via the parameter B33 a maximum run time can be
specified to avoid cycling in case of a failure to switch off.
– Via the parameter B137 it is selected whether a soft start
is installed or not.
– In order to ensure that after closing all valves or slides
the suction pipe was sucked free, an after-running time
can be set via the parameter B143.
CAUTION
When using the "after-running time" function, a false air
flap must be installed to avoid an excessive vacuum in the
system.
A detailed description can be found in the operating instructions of the remote control 5.965-276.0.

18.1.1 Preface
When selecting an industrial cleaning machine, two basic things have priority: For one thing the zoning in which the
appliance is to be set up later on, and for another thing the type of the vacuumed material. A certification as per ATEX,
for example, is not always sufficient for vacuuming up combustible or toxic dusts. That is why a good spadework upon
enquiring the application site is of great importance. Thus, please fill in this enquiry as detailed as possible. Eventually,
the responsibility, however, always rests with the user or operator.
