Tough, smart, and sustainable: The rise of V-TUF in industrial cleaning

In this issue of Industry Update, we are pleased to feature V-TUF as our Professional Cleaning Equipment Company of the Month.

As a rising name in the industrial cleaning space, V-TUF is positioned to become a market-leader in the design and manufacture of powerful cleaning machines, with an impressive array of vacuums, pressure washers, and floor cleaners, engineered to tackle any challenge faced by the cleaning space.

Founded in 2007 by Carl and Conrad Büchner, V-TUF emerged to fill a crucial gap in the market for high-quality pressure washing equipment. Since then, the brand has grown steadily, earning a reputation for innovation and excellence. V-TUF’s products have not only set new industry standards but have also redefined expectations for professional-grade cleaning equipment amongst dealers and retailers.

With its main office based in Scampton, Lincolnshire, V-TUF works with dealers all over the UK that distribute its vacuums, pressure washers, spares and accessories to a wide range of clients from many sectors including agricultural, DIY, construction, hire, hydraulics, industrial cleaning and floorcare.

With a product range that is highly versatile, V-TUF prides itself on manufacturing products that can solve any problem faced by any business in any industry.

“First and foremost, our biggest selling point is the toughness of our products. We use roto-moulded plastic and stainless-steel components (frames, chassis, nozzles) where possible to ensure V-TUF products can keep working when put through their paces,” stated Chris Browett, Marketing Coordinator for V-TUF. “We also focus heavily on the health and safety aspect, regularly pushing educational campaigns on the dangers of dust inhalation and why high-filtration vacuums are needed to keep workers safe. This is something many people are naïve too, so we feel it’s our responsibility to help spread that message and raise awareness.”

V-TUF is currently in the process of launching a new, top-of-the-line electric Hot Water Pressure Washer – the RAPIDVTX240.

The V-TUF RAPIDVTX240 is a powerful and efficient mobile hot water pressure washer, designed for professional and industrial cleaning applications. Built with durability in mind, it features a triplex plunger pump with ceramic pistons and a brass head, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The 1,450rpm induction motor delivers reliable power, while the high-efficiency diesel-fired boiler (over 89%) provides superior hot water cleaning, with HVO compatibility for eco-friendly operation.

The RAPIDVTX240 is capable of reaching temperatures up to 150°C to enhance deep cleaning and sanitisation. User-friendly and energy-efficient, it includes an automatic shutdown after 20 minutes of inactivity, a Total Stop System, and a high-pressure valve regulation for precise control. A built-in water tank with a floating valve ensures a stable water supply, while thermal motor protection prevents overheating. Designed for ease of use, the front castor wheels also provide excellent mobility.

Other features include: a working pressure of 100 Bar and a maximum flow rate of 12L/min, a self-priming pump, a 10m high-pressure hose (with customisation options), and an included gun and lance kit (KTQ type). The 2,200W induction motor, 5m cable length, and compact dimensions (1,050 x 720 x 1,120mm) make it a practical choice for various applications, it also includes a 35 litre anti-spill fuel tank and an advanced Digital Protection System (iDPS) for added safety.

Whether you’re a farmer, industrial cleaner, car detailer, construction worker, hydraulics supplier or hire company, you can rely on V-TUF’s tough cleaning products to get the job done. With a mission statement to ‘COMBAT DUST AND GRIME’, V-TUF works to identify the challenges that industries face, and equip them with tougher, safer, and more efficient solutions with health being a prime focus.

Alongside the raw power and toughness that V-TUF products offer, sustainability underpins the full manufacturing process. From tanks made of recycled plastic, durable metal frames, and HVO fuel compatibility for lower emissions, V-TUF fully commit to the idea that power and sustainability aren’t mutually exclusive.
