Vacuum hoses for central vacuum cleaning (CVAC)

Definition of the application

Central vacuum cleaning systems are powered by a large vacuum canister (also known as 'cans' or 'power unit') and are installed in e.g. the garage or basement of the home. They are often connected to a pre-installed or retrofitted plastic piping system within the walls.

This piping system which connects several rooms - via inlet valves - is then linked to the centrally located power unit. Major advantages of a central vacuum cleaning hose system are the suction power of the unit, and the exhausted air is vented outside of the living area.

Plastiflex and floor care

Floor care has changed tremendously over the last 100 years. For centuries, a broom was the preferred way to clean floors.

Once the dustpan was developed, a mechanical sweeper was introduced. After that, various types of vacuum cleaners were designed using different mechanisms to generate suction, e.g. a hand pump, a gas driven vacuum cleaner, etc.

Finally, the electrical vacuum cleaner as we know it was developed. The main parts of a vacuum cleaner are the vacuum pump (motor), hose, wand, and floor tool.
