This page focuses on industrial vacuums for metal chips, shavings, and swarf collection in machine shops, CNC machining cells, and metalworking environments. Depending on the model, some metal chip vacuums can also separate incidental oil or coolant from collected chips and may include drain valves or collection designs that help remove liquid from the recovered material. If the application requires full sump cleanout, heavy sludge removal, large-volume coolant recovery, or pumping filtered coolant back into the machine tank, see Depureco’s dedicated CNC sump recovery and oil-swarf vacuum solutions page. If the need is a fixed, case-study-style dry chip collection system around specific CNC machines, see the dedicated dry metal chips solution page.

Metal Chip Vacuums for Machine Shops
Tackle CNC metal chips and swarf with Depureco’s rugged vacuums built for nonstop performance.
Depureco metal chip vacuums are designed for machine shops, CNC machining cells, fabrication areas, and industrial metalworking environments where dry chips, metal shavings, and swarf must be removed quickly and reliably. This page covers mobile industrial vacuums for point cleanup, stationary vacuums for fixed machine-side extraction, and centralized vacuum systems for multi-machine chip collection. Common search terms include metal chip vacuum, chip vacuum for machine shops, metal shavings vacuum, swarf vacuum, CNC chip vacuum, and industrial vacuum for metal chips.
PERFORMANCE VACUUMS DELIVERED SINCE 1972.
Built for faster chip cleanup and cleaner machining cells.
Choosing the right metal chip vacuum depends on chip volume, duty cycle, machine count, and how material is collected or discharged. Mobile chip vacuums are ideal for flexible cleanup around CNC machines, tool rooms, and short-run work. Stationary industrial vacuums fit dedicated machining stations that need continuous-duty suction and repeatable chip removal. Centralized vacuum systems are best for multi-operator or multi-machine layouts where chips and debris must be conveyed from several points to one collection area.
