The Industrial Revolution brought about amazing technological advances, including a machine you might not think of – the vacuum. An industrial vacuum to be more precise. The reason for such a machine became clear with the jump in pollution and large amounts of people living in close quarters.

You see these conditions often result in sickness and disease. Fortunately while factories were expanding, the health field was also making advances. The emergence of the “germ theory” took hold around the same time. This helped inform people about the link between cleanliness and health. This knowledge went a long way towards new ways of thinking about the pollution, dirt and other debris in factories. It also heightened awareness in the home. This led to the beginning of a long line of vacuums.

Patents started in the mid 1800’s for vacuums. Since then there have been-plenty of improvements in vacuum pumps, motors and size. Starting with “carpet sweepers” and then moving into “electric suction cleaners”. Vacuums began to evolve for specific purposes, from personal homes to hotels and commercial facilities.
Over time, the knowledge that cleanliness at the work site is often linked to worker safety gained widespread acceptance. That’s when the industrial vacuum was born.
