, Scraps & clippings
The FEVI RVS range stands out for its robust construction, designed for continuous operation and efficient collection of lightweight and bulky materials, allowing it to be easily integrated into automated production cycles.
Offcuts are often produced continuously and locally near: cutting machines; die-cutting machines; textile machinery; packaging lines; packaging-production systems; paper and cardboard machinery; plastic-film processing lines; automated cutting systems.
The industrial vacuum cleaner can be connected directly to the point where the waste is generated, helping to limit accumulation around the machine and maintain a tidier production area.
The correct configuration depends on the volume of material produced, the collection distance, the piping diameter and the continuity of the process. In the textile sector, in addition to managing offcuts, it helps reduce fine dust and maintain a healthier working environment for operators. The use of filter bags also enables environmentally responsible and separated waste management, supporting the company’s environmental sustainability.
Ideal Application: Direct inline integration with cutters, die-cutters, and packaging lines in the Textile, Packaging, and Paper industries for the continuous suction of light clippings and bulky waste.
Key Advantages: Space optimization thanks to waste collection and compaction directly inside 120-liter continuous TNT filter bags, paired with an integrated 13,000 cm² Class M secondary safety filter.
Model Selection: Robust 114 kg configuration featuring a 2.2 kW side-channel blower (available in both 230 V single-phase and 400 V three-phase layouts), ideal for providing constant airflow (320 m³/h) and high vacuum (300 mBar).
Not Suitable For: Specialist unit engineered exclusively for dry waste with low specific weight. It is not suitable for vacuuming liquids, heavy debris, or massive amounts of fine dust without automatic systems.
This FEVI range addresses the challenges of industrial sectors with customised solutions designed to improve production quality and ensure smooth and safe operation. The FEVI RVS range is also available in an ATEX-certified version intended for environments with potentially explosive atmospheres.

Application sectors
Textile industry
Cutting and processing fabrics can generate offcuts, fibres and lightweight residues that tend to accumulate rapidly. Collection close to the machine allows the offcuts to be conveyed directly into the collection system, reducing the need for frequent manual intervention.
Packaging industry
Packaging and packing-production lines can generate: plastic-film offcuts; trimming edges; paper; cardboard; labels; residues from flexible materials. Continuous collection helps prevent the offcuts from interfering with machine movements or becoming dispersed throughout the department.
Paper and paper-converting industry
Cutting, trimming and die-cutting produce lightweight but bulky waste. A dedicated industrial vacuum cleaner transports these materials into a collection bag without requiring open containers close to the production line.
Plastics and wood
The system can be considered for plastic film, thin offcuts and lightweight plastic residues. Compatibility must be verified by considering shape, dimensions, electrostatic charge, temperature and potential combustibility. FEVI RVS can also be considered for lightweight wood offcuts and residues with a low bulk density. For fine dust, compact sawdust or large quantities of wood chips, it is necessary to assess whether a dust collector, an industrial vacuum cleaner for dust or a centralised system would be more appropriate.
How it works
OFFCUT COLLECTION: The material is captured close to the machine and transported through the piping.
CONVEYING INTO THE BAG: The airflow carries the offcuts into the non-woven fabric collection filter bag.
MATERIAL ACCUMULATION AND COMPACTION: The lightweight waste accumulates and is retained inside the bag, reducing dispersion into the environment and simplifying emptying and cleaning.
SAFETY FILTRATION: The air passes through the secondary filtration system supplied as standard, which is designed to retain the residual dust fraction accompanying dusty materials during collection. The bag must be replaced or emptied according to the volume reached and the procedures established for the material.
Why choose an industrial vacuum cleaner specifically designed for offcuts
Management of bulky materials: Lightweight offcuts can rapidly fill a conventional rigid container. Collection in filter bags makes better use of the available volume and simplifies removal of the accumulated material.
Connection to the machine: FEVI RVS can be integrated directly into the machine or connected through dedicated piping. This configuration captures the waste at the point where it is produced, before it accumulates in the working area.
Side-channel blower: The range uses side-channel blowers available in single-phase or three-phase configurations. Selection must be based on: cycle duration; quantity of offcuts; distance from the machine; piping pressure losses; available power supply; required airflow and vacuum pressure. The blower is suitable for prolonged operation, subject to maintenance and periodic inspections in accordance with the applicable instructions.
Collection filter bag and safety filter: The material is conveyed into a non-woven fabric filter bag. The RVS range has a stated collection capacity of 120 litres, combined with a secondary Class M safety filter. The secondary filter helps retain the dust fraction that may accompany the offcuts during collection. The presence of this filter does not make the machine equivalent to a specialist industrial vacuum cleaner for fine dust. When the dust fraction is significant, the required filtration system must be assessed separately.
ATEX versions available: The range also includes ATEX configurations for environments classified as Zones 2 and 22, with 3G and 3D marking. The ATEX version must be selected only after verifying: the environmental classification; material characteristics; potential combustibility; presence of gases, vapours or dust; temperature; electrical continuity of the hose and accessories; and the ATEX documentation of the system.

1. When to choose an industrial vacuum cleaner specifically designed for offcuts rather than another solution
| Department Requirement or Scenario | Recommended FEVI Range Solution |
|---|---|
| The material is lightweight, the waste is bulky, production is continuous and a rigid container would fill too rapidly, requiring collection in a filter bag positioned away from the production area. | FEVI RVS industrial vacuum cleaner for offcuts |
| The residual material consists mainly of suspended or deposited fine dust rather than flexible production cuttings or offcuts. | Industrial vacuum cleaner for dust or ICLEAN model |
| The main priority is capturing fine airborne dust in the working environment through extraction hoods or multiple collection points. | Dust collector |
| Dense residues, heavy and compact waste or metal swarf generated by machine tools must be handled and transported. | Industrial vacuum cleaner for heavy solids or OIL range |
| Several production machines simultaneously generate shaped offcuts and a shared extraction network with a single discharge point is required. | Centralised system |

How to choose the configuration
Before defining the correct model, we assess together all the structural parameters of the application: type of material; offcut dimensions; bulk density; hourly production quantity; process continuity; distance from the collection point; piping diameter; number of bends; possible compaction; available power supply; airflow or vacuum-pressure requirements; presence of dust; **ATEX** risk; and waste-disposal or recovery method.
The **ATEX** configuration for environments classified as Zones 2 and 22, with 3G and 3D marking, requires a joint assessment of the system’s conformity, including verification of piping conductivity.
