The MINIBULL is a compact bagless industrial vacuum built for operators who need reliable wet and dry cleanup in a smaller, easy-to-handle machine. Powered by two by-pass motors, it delivers strong single-phase suction for dust, debris, and liquid recovery while staying maneuverable enough for tighter production spaces, maintenance areas, and machine-side cleanup. On the site today, MINIBULL is already positioned inside the wet-and-dry family and also appears as a compact mobile solution on your metal chips / swarf solutions page, which reinforces this smaller-footprint, shop-floor-ready use case.
Filtration is centered around a 2,500 in² M-class polyester star filter designed to capture fine dust while maintaining airflow as the filter loads. That gives the page a stronger fit for searches around M class industrial vacuum, industrial dust vacuum, and industrial vacuum for dust and liquids than the current broader wording. The available filter media options — including Teflon, Nomex, PTFE, antistatic, and optional H14 HEPA — are useful to keep, but they should support the product story rather than dominate it. The real page message should be that MINIBULL is a compact, configurable industrial cleanup vacuum for mixed wet/dry use.
To maintain performance during use, the machine includes a manual shaker cleaning system that lets the operator clear dust from the filter without complex servicing. Collected material drops into a detachable 12-gallon bin on wheels, making disposal easier and reinforcing the product’s practical, bagless positioning. Disposable collection bags can still be used when needed, and the optional floating device expands the machine’s fit for safer liquid pickup. This is the kind of real-world, shop-floor-focused language that makes the page more useful than generic claims about being “capable and adaptable.”
Two independently controlled by-pass motors give MINIBULL strong single-phase suction in a compact frame. This makes it easier to match intake power to the job while keeping the machine mobile enough for maintenance areas, tighter workspaces, and everyday industrial cleanup.
The M-class polyester star filter provides 2,500 in² of filter surface for fine dust collection while helping maintain airflow as material builds on the filter. On-page, this should be framed as a practical dust-control benefit, not just a certification note.
The side-mounted manual shaker lets the operator clear dust from the filter quickly and keep the vacuum working without complicated maintenance. This is one of the product’s stronger usability points and should be written more as a productivity feature than a mechanical detail.
The detachable 12-gallon bin makes MINIBULL easier to empty and reposition during cleanup. This section should reinforce the product’s bagless, mobile, wet/dry value instead of just describing the container hardware.

Get answers about using the MINIBULL for compact industrial cleanup, dust and dry debris recovery, wet pickup, metal chips and swarf, Class M and HEPA filtration, bagless collection, filter cleaning, suction performance, model selection, and routine machine-side and production-floor maintenance.
The MINIBULL is a compact single-phase industrial vacuum designed for portable, intermittent industrial cleanup where maneuverability, standard 115 V power, and a smaller machine footprint are important.
Two independently controlled bypass motors provide up to 2.7 HP, 226 CFM of airflow, and 94 inH₂O of maximum vacuum. A 12-gallon detachable collection bin and 2-inch inlet make the MINIBULL well suited to machine-side cleanup, production-floor housekeeping, maintenance areas, tight workspaces, and smaller-volume recovery jobs.
Typical materials include dust, powders, dry production debris, small chips, shavings, granules, and other suitable solids. The machine can also be configured for wet pickup when liquid recovery is part of the application.
The MINIBULL is especially useful when an operation needs a true industrial vacuum but does not require the larger collection capacity, higher airflow, or longer-duty operating characteristics of larger single-phase or three-phase models.
Yes, the MINIBULL platform can be configured for wet and dry industrial cleanup.
The standard MINIBULL is primarily specified for dust and solids in intermittent use, while an optional wet/dry collection configuration is available with a bin inlet and floating device for liquid pickup. Wet/dry floor tools and hose kits are also available for applications that require recovery of suitable liquids as well as dry debris.
This makes the MINIBULL useful for maintenance teams that primarily collect dust and solids but also need occasional spill or liquid recovery from floors, machinery, and work areas.
The MINIBULL should not automatically be treated as a dedicated sump vacuum. Applications centered on CNC coolant recovery, oil-and-chip separation, tank cleaning, or high-volume liquid transfer should instead be evaluated against Depureco’s dedicated OIL and RAM OIL models.
Liquid chemistry, temperature, flash point, solids content, and disposal requirements should be reviewed before use.
The MINIBULL is well suited to routine recovery of dust, powders, dry debris, small chips, shavings, granules, trim scraps, and other suitable manufacturing and maintenance waste.
Its compact size makes it useful around machinery, work cells, production lines, maintenance areas, packaging equipment, warehouse spaces, and other locations where operators need to move the vacuum between cleanup points.
MINIBULL can also handle light-to-medium metal-chip and swarf cleanup when the chip size, shape, quantity, and hose setup are appropriate. With the correct wet/dry configuration, suitable liquids and mixed maintenance spills can also be recovered.
The material still determines the correct configuration. Fine or adhesive dust, abrasive debris, liquid chemistry, long stringy swarf, hot material, combustible dust, or hazardous substances may require different filtration, accessories, a different Depureco model, or an application-specific safety review.
MINIBULL is described as a bagless industrial vacuum because its standard collection method uses a rigid detachable 12-gallon container rather than requiring a disposable vacuum bag as the primary collection vessel.
Collected dust and debris fall into the lower bin. When the container needs to be emptied, it can be detached from the vacuum and moved independently for disposal.
This provides a simple collection workflow for repeated industrial cleanup because operators do not have to replace a disposable bag every time the machine fills.
Bagless does not mean that every material should be emptied loose. Applications involving very fine dust, hazardous material, contamination control, or specific disposal requirements may need a more contained collection method or a different vacuum configuration.
The term also describes the collection system only; it does not determine the vacuum’s filtration efficiency.
The two ratings describe different parts of MINIBULL’s suction performance.
Its maximum airflow of 226 CFM describes the volume of air the vacuum can move. Airflow helps carry loose dust, powders, chips, shavings, and other debris through the hose.
The maximum vacuum rating of 94 inH₂O describes suction pressure, or the machine’s ability to pull against resistance. Vacuum pressure becomes increasingly important when material is heavier, the pickup path creates resistance, or the vacuum is working through hoses and accessories.
MINIBULL uses two independently controlled by-pass motors, allowing the operator to run the machine with the suction level appropriate for the cleanup job.
Neither CFM nor vacuum pressure should be considered by itself. Hose diameter and length, vertical lift, material density, particle shape, filter loading, pickup tool, and the amount of material entering the hose all affect actual collection performance.
The standard MINIBULL uses a polyester star filter with approximately 2,500 in² of filter surface and an IFA/BGIA M-PES Class M classification under EN 60335-2-69.
This provides the primary filtration stage for routine industrial dust and debris recovery.
For applications requiring an additional high-efficiency filtration stage, an optional H14 HEPA secondary filter is available. The current U.S. H14 option uses fiberglass media with approximately 3,500 in² of filter surface.
Additional filter-media options include antistatic Class M, Teflon-treated MTF, Nomex, PTFE, and PTFE antistatic configurations. The correct filter should be selected according to particle size, dust adhesion, moisture, temperature, static characteristics, and the actual process requirements.
HEPA filtration should not be confused with explosion protection. Installing a HEPA or antistatic filter does not automatically make a standard MINIBULL suitable for combustible dust or a hazardous classified location.
The MINIBULL uses a side-mounted manual filter shaker to remove accumulated dust from the primary star filter.
Operating the shaker flexes the filter so dust that has built up on its surface can break free and fall into the collection bin. Cleaning the filter helps restore airflow as material accumulates during use and reduces the need to remove the primary filter for routine cleaning.
The shaker can be operated without opening the filtration chamber, making filter maintenance straightforward during normal industrial cleanup.
How often the filter needs to be shaken depends on the application. Fine powders, sticky material, high dust loading, moisture, and long cleaning cycles may require more frequent filter maintenance or a different filter-media selection.
Yes. The MINIBULL can be a good fit for light-to-medium recovery of dry metal chips, shavings, and suitable swarf around CNC machines and other metalworking equipment.
Its compact size and 115 V single-phase power make it easy to move between machines and work cells for intermittent chip cleanup, floor housekeeping, and collection around machine tools.
The shape and quantity of the chips matter. Short, loose chips and small shavings are generally easier to convey than long, stringy, bird-nested, or very heavy swarf. Hose diameter, hose length, chip geometry, collection volume, and required cleaning frequency should all be considered.
If chip loads are heavier, vacuuming cycles are substantially longer, or continuous-duty suction is needed, a larger single-phase M100 or a three-phase model such as ECOBULL or TX may be a better fit.
If the primary application involves coolant and chips together inside a CNC sump, a dedicated M100 OIL, M130 OIL P, or RAM OIL sump vacuum should be evaluated instead.
Choose the MINIBULL when compact size, maneuverability, standard single-phase power, and a smaller collection bin are more important than maximum airflow and capacity.
The MINIBULL uses two by-pass motors and provides 2.7 HP, 226 CFM, 94 inH₂O maximum vacuum, and a 12-gallon collection bin. Its smaller 22 × 25-inch footprint and 99-lb machine weight make it easier to move through tighter production and maintenance areas.
The M100 is the larger single-phase step up. It uses three independently controlled by-pass motors and provides 3.3 HP, 326 CFM, 98 inH₂O maximum vacuum, and a 26-gallon collection bin.
Choose the MINIBULL for smaller-volume, portable, intermittent cleanup. Choose the M100 when larger debris volumes, longer hose runs, higher airflow, or fewer container emptying cycles justify the larger machine.
The final choice should still be based on the material, cleanup volume, hose length, duty cycle, filtration requirements, and available working space.
Move beyond the MINIBULL when the application requires substantially longer vacuuming cycles, heavier daily material loads, greater collection capacity, longer or more restrictive hose runs, or continuous-duty operation.
MINIBULL uses two single-phase by-pass motors and is best aligned with portable, intermittent or frequent batch cleanup. Larger single-phase models such as the M100 provide more airflow and collection capacity while keeping standard single-phase operation.
For extended or continuous operation, heavier daily chip loads, or production-duty cleanup, a three-phase side-channel-blower model such as ECOBULL or TX may be a better fit.
MINIBULL should also not automatically be assumed suitable for combustible dust, explosive powders, hazardous classified locations, flammable liquids or vapors, hot material, reactive chemicals, or unknown hazardous debris. Those applications can change the required vacuum construction, filtration, grounding, certification, hoses, accessories, and collection method.
Selection should consider material properties, volume per cleanup, operating time, hose diameter and length, filtration, available electrical power, disposal workflow, and any applicable facility hazards.
