Kerstar Machines

Kerstar is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of ATEX-certified industrial vacuum cleaners, designed specifically for use in hazardous and explosive atmospheres. Whether you’re working in pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, food production, or oil and gas environments, Kerstar vacuum cleaners meet the strictest European safety standards for dust and vapour extraction. At Elswoods Direct, we stock the full Kerstar range — from compressed air-powered models like the KAV15 through to the heavy-duty KEVA45H electric hazardous dust vacuums — with expert advice to help you choose the right machine for your application.

What sets Kerstar apart from standard industrial vacuum cleaners is their anti-static construction and HEPA filtration systems, engineered to safely handle combustible dusts and hazardous materials without risk of ignition. Every Kerstar machine is built with grounded, conductive components and fitted with H14 HEPA cartridge filters capable of capturing 99.995% of particles — critical in environments where airborne dust can pose serious health and safety risks. With options for dry-only or wet and dry pickup, and available in 110V or 230V configurations, there’s a Kerstar vacuum to suit virtually any industrial cleaning requirement.

As an authorised Kerstar supplier with over 50 years of experience in the cleaning equipment industry, Elswoods Direct carries a comprehensive range of genuine Kerstar spare parts and accessories alongside the full machine lineup. From replacement anti-static filter assemblies and HEPA cartridges to hose assemblies, crevice tools, and complete tool kits, we ensure your Kerstar equipment stays operating at peak performance.
