I'm looking for an ESD-safe Service Vacuum aka Toner Vacuum for servicing printers etc (with HEPA filter cartridge etc).

 

Any recommendations / NZ suppliers with stock?

 

Cheers

This is what we used to use in 2 different companies, for servicing printers (and PC's). Its not cheap.

Ive even used 'normal' vacumm cleaners ( those will eventually fail from toner build up ) 

 

Try Filtercorp, they supplied toner safe solutions  where I used to work , some years back. They might have something .

That one is listed as 220 volts - not 230-240 volts as is required for NZ.  So if you want to buy it, make sure to ask first that is actually OK for NZ electricity.  A 220 V rating normally means it is for the US market and will be designed for that only, which also implies 60 Hz.  Such devices can overheat (or even catch fire) on NZ 230 volts 50 Hz.

Yes they would as they sell to professionals for business use. They sell many things that are not suitable for use in NZ and its up to the buyer to sort it out. Not like kmart or the warehouse who sell to general public.

 

When things say 220v they are normally 220-240v rated items, and people just take the first one. Its really only things for the asia market that are labled with only 220v.
