EXAIR produces a variety of industrial pneumatic drum vacuums designed to effectively manage spills and debris in diverse environments. These vacuums are characterized by their safety, quiet operation, and the absence of moving parts or electric motors, which enhances their longevity and reliability. With a proven track record of durability, the Industrial Housekeeping Products line includes systems tailored for both dry and wet materials, as well as a versatile option that accommodates both types. In this blog, I will focus on our Heavy Duty Dry Vac System.
A prevalent problem associated with dry materials is the premature failure of electrical motors due to dust accumulation. In many electrically powered vacuums, this dust can lead to the deterioration of motor bearings, often resulting in a loud screeching sound. In contrast, EXAIR’s Heavy Duty Dry Vac System features no moving parts, eliminating wear and maintenance needs, and operates solely on compressed air. It includes a static-resistant hose to prevent electric shocks when handling dry, dusty materials. Constructed from hardened alloy steel, the Heavy Duty Dry Vac offers exceptional abrasion resistance and generates a powerful vacuum of -60” H2O (-15 kPa) at 80 PSIG (5.5 bar), making it suitable for use with sandblasting materials, garnet, and steel shot. Additionally, its efficient and durable bag filter effectively contains dust within the drum while allowing air to escape.
We offer three drum sizes—30-gallon, 55-gallon, and 110-gallon—tailored to your specific application and material volume needs. Each drum is equipped with a Heavy Duty Vacuum that operates on just 68 SCFM (1,924 SLPM) of compressed air at 80 psig (5.5 bar). To suit various requirements, we provide different packages for each drum. The standard package includes essential components such as the drum lid with necessary hardware, a side latching lever lock, a shutoff valve, a filter bag, 10 feet of static-resistant vacuum hose, a hose hanger, 20 feet of compressed air hose, a pressure gauge, and an aluminum chip wand. For those seeking more features, the Deluxe package adds a drum dolly, heavy-duty aluminum tools, and a tool holder. Finally, the Premium package encompasses all items in the Deluxe package along with a steel drum.
