The FEVI WM 375 BASIC industrial vacuum cleaner belongs to the BASIC range of industrial vacuum cleaners, a product line built with traditional filtration systems such as woven/non-woven polyester pocket or star filters.
The FEVI WM 375 BASIC model is suitable when a versatile machine is required for the daily collection of different materials. It can be used for: ordinary dust; dry residues; solids; light debris; liquids; mixed materials; machinery cleaning; floor cleaning; maintenance activities.
The BASIC range uses a traditional filtration system with manual cleaning. It therefore represents a simple and functional solution for general applications, although it is not the most specific model for large quantities of fine dust or materials that are particularly difficult to filter. It should instead be presented as a versatile industrial vacuum cleaner suitable for environments where solid residues, ordinary dust, liquids and general collection materials alternate.
Ideal Application: Designed as a versatile and multi-purpose solution for the daily collection of different materials, such as ordinary dust, dry residues, liquids, and mixed debris.
Key Advantages: Maximum operational flexibility thanks to a high-capacity 75-liter quick-release metal drum and a traditional 20,000 cm² star filtration system.
Model Selection: An excellent high-performance single-phase (230 V) solution with 3 bypass motors (3300 W), ideal for the general servicing of workshops, warehouses, and laboratories.
Not Suitable For: General-purpose machine for mixed residues. It is not suitable for the intensive suction of continuous large volumes of fine construction dust or for use in ATEX hazardous areas.
Mixed Configuration: The central inlet with deflector (BASIC W version) directs flows downwards, protecting the filter and facilitating the alternation between dry materials and liquids.
Robustness & Simplicity: Heavy-duty construction equipped with an integrated manual shaker cleaning system, which guarantees maximum reliability and eliminates mechanical complexity.
The BASIC range of industrial vacuum cleaners is built with classic and conventional filtration systems commonly used on the market, employing woven/non-woven polyester pocket or star filters.

Main applications
Ordinary dust collection
FEVI WM 375 BASIC can be used to collect common dust, dry residues and materials generated during industrial, craft and maintenance activities. The star filter retains solid particles, while the manual shaking system helps reduce dust accumulation on the filter surface. When large quantities of fine dust or materials that tend to clog the filter quickly are produced, it is preferable to consider an industrial vacuum cleaner from the ICLEAN range or a dedicated filtration configuration.
Collection of solids and residues
The model is suitable for collecting solid residues, small waste, light debris, dry materials, workshop residues and materials produced during maintenance operations. The 75-litre drum makes it possible to handle a greater quantity of material than compact vacuum cleaners.
Liquid collection
FEVI WM 375 BASIC is suitable for collecting compatible liquids. The internal deflector directs the flow towards the lower part of the container, helping to limit direct contact between the liquid and the filter. This configuration is particularly suitable for collecting liquids, small spills, maintenance materials, alternating dry materials and liquids, and for cleaning machinery and departments. An optional liquid level control system is available.
Workshop use
In workshops, FEVI WM 375 BASIC can be used to collect dust, solid residues, liquids, small debris and material generated by normal maintenance activities. For frequent collection of significant quantities of oils, emulsions and metal swarf, it is preferable to consider a dedicated industrial vacuum cleaner for oil and swarf.
Construction and maintenance
The model can be used to collect light debris, dry residues, liquids and ordinary dust. For the continuous collection of fine dust produced by grinding, sanding, drywall or concrete processing, it is preferable to choose an industrial vacuum cleaner with automatic filter cleaning.
General industrial cleaning
The machine can be effectively used for routine industrial cleaning activities where a high-capacity, single-phase and versatile vacuum cleaner is required to handle different materials in a practical way.
Why choose FEVI WM 375 BASIC
Three single-phase bypass motors: The three bypass motors provide a total power rating of 3300 W. The 230 V power supply allows the machine to be used in professional environments where a three-phase electrical supply is unavailable. The airflow is 510 m³/h, while the vacuum pressure is 230 mBar.
Collection of different materials: FEVI WM 375 BASIC is designed to handle dust, solids and liquids. Its main feature is versatility: it can be used for many collection and maintenance activities without requiring a different machine for each type of material.
Central inlet with deflector: FEVI WM 375 BASIC belongs to the BASIC W configuration. The central inlet with deflector directs the material towards the lower section of the container and is particularly suitable when collecting liquids or mixed materials. BASIC B models with a tangential inlet are different configurations, more specifically oriented towards dust collection. This distinction must be presented as a comparison between models in the range and not as an option to modify the inlet of the WM 375 BASIC.
Star filter: FEVI WM 375 BASIC uses a polyester star filter. The standard filter surface area is 20,000 cm², with the possibility of increasing it to 30,000 cm² through an optional configuration. The filter has antistatic properties and is intended for general applications involving ordinary dust.
Manual filter cleaning: Cleaning is performed using an integrated manual shaking system. The procedure helps detach dust accumulated on the filter and must be carried out periodically according to the material collected.
Optional HEPA filter: An H13 HEPA filter is available as an option. The HEPA filter is not included in the standard configuration and must be selected according to the characteristics of the material and the required level of filtration.
75-litre drum: The 75-litre drum provides good collection capacity. The quick-release system facilitates removal of the container and subsequent emptying operations. When collecting liquids or heavy materials, the final weight of the drum must also be taken into consideration.
How the system works
The three bypass motors generate the vacuum required for collection. The material enters through the central inlet and is directed towards the 75-litre drum. Solid residues and liquids settle inside the container, while the air passes through the star filter. The filter retains solid particles and the air continues towards the vacuum unit. When dust accumulates on the filter surface, the machine must be stopped and the filter cleaned using the manual shaking system. In the BASIC W configuration, the deflector helps direct the liquid flow downwards, reducing the risk of directly wetting the filter. In the BASIC B configuration, the tangential inlet promotes cyclonic airflow and helps separate dust more effectively from the filter.
Technical comparisons and configuration choices
This section helps customers understand the structural designs of the FEVI range and select the correct technology.
1. Difference between the BASIC W and BASIC B configurations
BASIC W and BASIC B must be presented as different models within the range, not as two selectable inlet options on the same WM 375 BASIC.
| Range configuration | Inlet geometry features | Main application |
|---|---|---|
| BASIC W (WM 375) | Central inlet with filter-protection deflector. | More suitable for liquids, spilled mixed materials, alternating dust and liquids, and versatile workshop applications. |
| BASIC B | Inlet positioned tangentially on the side. | The cyclonic movement helps separate heavy material from the airflow before it reaches the filter. Suitable for dust, dry residues and granules. |
2. Difference compared with the ICLEAN range
| Product range | Filtration and cleaning system | Ideal application |
|---|---|---|
| FEVI WM 375 BASIC | Traditional polyester star filter with manual shaking system. | Versatile vacuum cleaner for workshops and laboratories handling mixed residues or ordinary dust. |
| ICLEAN range (220 and 350) | Advanced HEPA + PTFE multi-cartridge system with timed automatic cleaning. | Specifically designed for intensive fine dust generated by grinding, sanding and power tools, without interrupting the operating cycle. |
3. Difference compared with a three-phase industrial vacuum cleaner
FEVI WM 375 BASIC uses single-phase bypass motors and is suitable for common, non-continuous professional activities. A three-phase industrial vacuum cleaner with a side-channel blower is considerably more suitable when: the working cycle is prolonged; the machine must be permanently connected to an automated production process; vacuuming must remain active for many consecutive hours; long pipelines are used or greater operating continuity is required within the department.
Selection guide and alternative models
Choose the WM 375 BASIC model if:
- You need to collect ordinary dust, solids and alternating liquids with a single machine;
- You are looking for a 230 V single-phase industrial vacuum cleaner;
- You want a simple, robust and high-capacity machine with a 75-litre drum;
- You work in a workshop, industrial environment, construction site or maintenance department and prefer a traditional system;

- ATEX industrial vacuum cleaner: Required when operating in classified areas with an explosion risk or in the presence of conductive dust.
- Dust collector: When the priority is to capture airborne dust from extraction hoods or workbenches.
Usage recommendations and parameter analysis
To select FEVI WM 375 BASIC correctly, it is important to first determine the type of material to be collected. If the application involves mixed materials, solids and liquids, the configuration with a central inlet and deflector (W) may be more suitable. If the application mainly involves dust, the tangential inlet (B) provides a clear advantage in separating the material from the filter. The key parameters to check before purchasing are: type of material collected; presence of liquids; quantity of dust; particle size of the residue; overall frequency of use; average duration of the working session; need for continuous vacuuming; operating environment; required accessories; possible presence of fine or hazardous dust; possible need for ATEX certification.
