EXAIR manufactures a range of industrial pneumatic drum vacuums geared towards cleaning up the messes you’ll find in just about any environment. They are safe, quiet, and do not have any moving parts or electric motors to wear. These are workhorses with a long history of durability and reliability. The Industrial Housekeeping Products offer systems suitable for use with dry materials and wet materials, as well as one capable of handling both. In this blog, I will cover our Heavy Duty Dry Vac System.
For dry materials, a common issue generated by the dust is premature electrical motor failure. In many electrically powered vacuums, the motor bearings will fail and wear out. Typically, this results in a loud screeching noise. EXAIR’s Heavy Duty Dry Vac System has NO moving parts to wear out, doesn’t require maintenance, and needs nothing but a source of compressed air to operate. A static-resistant hose is standard which prevents painful shocks when working with dry, dusty materials. The Heavy Duty Dry Vac is constructed of hardened alloy steel designed to provide superior abrasion resistance. It is able to produce a powerful vacuum with a level of -60” H2O (-15 Kpa) at 80 PSIG (5.5 bar). So, it can be used with sandblasting material, garnet, and steel shot. The bag filter is efficient and durable to keep the dust inside the drum while allowing the air to escape.
Depending on your application and the volume of material you need to vacuum, we provide three different sizes; 30-gal, 55-gal, and 110-gal drums. Each drum uses the same Heavy Duty Vacuum which uses only 68 SCFM (1,924 SLPM) of compressed air at 80 psig (5.5 bar). We offer different packages for each drum to help accommodate your application. We have the standard package which will include the drum lid with the required hardware, a side latching lever lock, a shutoff valve, a filter bag, 10 feet (3 meters) of static-resistance vacuum hose, hose hanger, 20 feet (6 meters) of compressed air hose, a pressure gauge, and aluminum chip wand. We then move up to the Deluxe package, which will include everything in the standard package plus a drum dolly, heavy-duty aluminum tools, and a toolholder. The next package is the Premium package, which includes everything in the Deluxe package plus a steel drum.
From March to May 2025, EXAIR will be giving a complimentary gift for qualified orders when purchasing any of EXAIR’s Industrial Housekeeping Systems, including the Heavy Duty Dry Vac System. You will receive a model 6492 Vac-U-Gun Kit, a $174.00 value, for free. The Vac-U-Gun can easily be converted from a blow-off gun into a vacuum gun by simply switching the generator inside. For U.S. and Canadian customers, EXAIR offers a 30-day unconditional guarantee to try these out. You will not be disappointed.
