Brigadier V120 grainstore vacuum cleaner from Hampshire company APM Agriplant uses an emptying system that is said to take a lot of the effort out of the job.

The operator lifts a handle which lowers the collection tank; this is then simply wheeled out to a dumping point.

It can also cope with wet and dry vacuuming without having to change filters or add on wet kits and will also deal with oil and sludge. An indicator light illuminates when the filter needs cleaning. Three 1150w motors are fitted, all independently switchable. Cost of the unit is £1750.
