Manicure vacuum cleaner

Professional beauty salons, where they perform nail care procedures are not complete without such a necessary thing as a vacuum cleaner for a manicure. Many women buy it for home use.

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

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

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

The principle of operation is not much different from an ordinary household vacuum cleaner, but there are certain differences. The device for 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 no more than 48 dB, the engine power is 20-30 watts. With such characteristics, it will not interfere with either the client or the nail master, economically consumes electricity and is easily transferred if the model is not embedded. Such devices are powered by a 220 V household network.

There are several types of nail vacuums, all of them have their own features and advantages.

Hood - the most popular model of such vacuum cleaners. It has a plastic case with a powerful fan, the speed of rotation of the blades can reach 3000 rpm. High-quality models are made virtually silent, the noise level in them does not exceed 62 dB, which provides a comfortable atmosphere in the nail salon. The dust enters the removable bag of the dust collector, after use it is easily removed from the outlet pipe and replaced with a new one.

There are 2 options for such hoods: built-in or portable. The first type is firmly mounted in a manicure table, the front panel of the blade and the fan are located horizontally or at a slight angle. During the procedure, the hands must be held directly above the hood, for safety, the fan is closed by a protective grill. The advantages of built-in models of hoods are in high power, the absence of unnecessary vibration, and the convenience of working on a rigidly fixed device. The disadvantages are the inability to move the device to another location and the need to mount on the table, cutting a hole in the tabletop.

Portable hoods are a small panel with a vertical fan that connects to the network through a regular power cord.The advantages of this type over the built-in devices are that they can be transferred to any place, the main thing is that there is a socket in the available proximity. The body is made of plastic, the fan is closed with a metal protective grille, and the weight usually does not exceed 1.5 kg.

A separate option is a floor hood for manicure, which has great power. and is able to cope with any amount of dust in a short time. A massive body with an electric motor, a fan and a dust collector is installed on the floor, and the exhaust hose goes from it to the workplace. Despite the highest cleaning efficiency, the floor hood consumes increased power and takes quite a lot of space in the cabin.

There are very comfortable desktop models of vacuum cleaners for a manicure in a cylindrical body. They have 5 holes at the top for each finger. After processing the nail brush is placed on such a vacuum cleaner, each finger takes its place. So you can comfortably hold your hand on the stand for a long time. The appearance of such devices is very elegant and original.

Before buying a nail cleaner, you need to take into account such criteria as engine power and speed, noise level during operation, weight and dimensions. Be sure to pay attention to the presence of the protective grid, it should prevent the tightening of small objects and protect your fingers during the procedures. The power of the device must be such that it is able to draw in air-dust flow at a distance of 15-20 cm. A good vacuum cleaner is able to save the room not only from harmful microparticles, but also from the sharp odors of varnishes and solvents.

For convenience and mobility it is best to choose a portable model hood with a plastic case. It is easily placed on any horizontal surface, takes up little space, does not require installation.
