Vacuum cleaner for manicure

Professional beauty salons, where nail care procedures are performed, cannot do without such a necessary thing as a manicure vacuum cleaner. Many women purchase it for use at home.

Polishing and polishing of the nails on the hands and feet is not complete without the formation of dust - the remnants of horny tissue, dried manicure varnishes and paints. The latter contain many harmful chemicals - solvents, pigments, carcinogens. Small particles floating in the air enter the lungs, which can cause allergies, asthma, tracheitis and other respiratory diseases.

In addition, the workplace itself in a nail salon should look perfectly clean and tidy. If the respiratory tract can be protected from harmful dust with a gauze bandage on the face, then only a manicure vacuum cleaner can handle the rest of the problems. Such devices facilitate the work of the master and give the nail salon more representativeness.

Regardless of the type of manicure vacuum cleaner, they all work due to an electric motor that rotates the blades at a high speed of 2500-3000 rpm, due to which air, together with the dust present in it, is drawn into the hood and enters the bag-shaped dust collector. It needs to be cleaned from time to time, but there are also disposable plastic containers, which, after filling, are simply thrown away and replaced with new ones.

The principle of operation is not much different from a conventional household vacuum cleaner, but there are certain differences. The device for a nail salon should be compact, not heavy. If it is built-in, then the dimensions should allow it to be placed on the table. The mass of these units usually does not exceed 2 kg, the noise level is not more than 48 dB, the engine power is 20-30 W. With such characteristics, it will not interfere with either the client or the nail master, saves energy and is easy to carry if the model is not built-in. Such devices are powered by a 220 V household network.

There are several types of nail vacuum cleaners, all of them have their own characteristics and advantages.

High-quality models are made almost silent, the noise level in them does not exceed 62 dB, which provides a comfortable environment in the nail salon.
