01 · Range Positioning

Entry tier · Bulk Handling Range

The entry bulk handling system in the Novavac range.

The Novavac Bulk 36 is the 3.6 kW entry system in the Novavac Bulk Handling range — built for businesses that need more than standard dust extraction.

It is built for businesses that need more than standard dust extraction. When the issue is not just capturing dust, but collecting and managing larger volumes of material, a normal extractor becomes the wrong category.

Use Bulk 36 when your operation needs steady-volume recovery, storage, and controlled discharge.

This is not a compact dust extractor. It is a bulk recovery system for businesses that need to move and manage volume.

02 · B2B Sales Positioning

Volume is the bottleneck

For operations where collection volume is the bottleneck.

Most dust extraction systems are designed around capture and filtration. Bulk systems are different — the business problem here is volume.

When collected material builds up quickly, smaller systems create constant interruption.

The Bulk 36 is built for operations where the amount of material being collected is too much for standard extractors to manage efficiently.

If your team is constantly stopping to empty smaller machines, you do not need another small extractor. You need a bulk handling system.

The verdictIf your team is constantly stopping to empty smaller machines, you do not need another small extractor. You need a bulk handling system.

03 · What It Solves

Recover · Store · Discharge

Recover, store, and discharge material more efficiently.

Bulk dust and debris problems are not solved by suction alone. You need a system that can collect larger volumes, hold them safely, and discharge them in a controlled way.

01

High-volume material recovery

02

Frequent machine emptying

03

Inefficient dust and debris handling

04

Messy transfer between containers

05

Production interruptions

06

Poor collection logistics

07

Process line and work area integration

08

Controlled discharge of collected material

The point

When the volume increases, collection and discharge become just as important as extraction.

04 · Best Fit

Built for production-volume collection

Best for production-volume dust and material collection.

The Bulk 36 is designed for operations that need bulk recovery as an entry into the Bulk Handling range, without committing to the higher-output Bulk 55 tier.

05 · Core Features

Volume · Storage · Discharge

Built for volume, storage, and controlled discharge.

Eight core features that define Bulk 36 — engineered around the bulk recovery problem, not retrofitted from a smaller extractor.

01 · Headline capacity
600L

600L storage capacity

The core reason to choose Bulk 36 over smaller extraction systems. 600L of collection capacity reduces emptying frequency and supports steady-volume material recovery — as the entry point into the Bulk Handling range, before stepping up to the Bulk 55 tier.

02 · Power platform
3.6kW

Three-phase performance

3.6 kW three-phase platform designed for industrial recovery work. The power category needed for production-volume collection where compact systems are not enough.

03 · Airflow
540m³/h

Recovery-matched airflow

Not chasing the highest airflow number — matching airflow with storage capacity and material handling requirements for bulk dust and debris collection.

04 · Filter system

Automatic filter cleaning

Maintains system performance during operation. Bulk recovery loads filters quickly without proper management — automatic cleaning keeps airflow consistent.

05 · Storage

Integrated storage hopper

Large hopper holds recovered material before discharge — making Bulk 36 suitable for production and industrial environments where collected material must be managed in volume.

06 · Discharge

Controlled discharge valve

Critical in bulk handling — poor discharge design creates mess, downtime, and unnecessary exposure. The valve releases collected material in a controlled way.

07 · Integration

Production equipment integration

Connects into production equipment or work processes where ongoing material recovery is required. A better fit for repeated industrial workflows than a standard mobile vacuum.

08 · Optional configuration

Optional big-bag discharge system

For operations needing larger downstream handling, Bulk 36 can be configured with a big-bag discharge system — supporting cleaner bulk transfer and better material logistics across processing and manufacturing workflows.

06 · Compliance Layer

Novavac Compliance System™

Compatible with the Novavac Compliance System™

The Bulk 36 can be integrated with the Novavac Compliance System™ — the QR-based compliance layer used across Novavac systems. Each unit gets a serial-tracked digital dossier designed to support correct use, documentation, maintenance, and audit readiness.

What it supports
  • QR-based access to machine documentation
  • On-site usage guidance
  • Maintenance and filter tracking
  • Safe handling procedures
  • Clearer accountability for operators and supervisors

The machine handles volume. The compliance layer documents that the system is being used and maintained correctly.

Do not confuse the two. The machine performs the recovery and storage function. The QR dossier supports accountability.
