In high-dust industrial environments, ordinary electric shop vacs often fall short. They clog quickly, motors burn out from constant use, and they can even return fine particles back into your breathing air. The EXAIR Heavy Duty HEPA Vac offers a rugged, air-powered alternative designed specifically for these harsh conditions.

What is the EXAIR Heavy Duty HEPA Vac?

The EXAIR Heavy Duty HEPA Vac is a powerful industrial vacuum that turns an ordinary 30, 55, or 110-gallon open-top drum into a high-capacity HEPA-grade cleaning system. Unlike standard vacuums, it has no moving parts and uses only compressed air to generate a powerful vacuum, reaching levels of -60” H2O at 80 PSIG.

Key Benefits for Industrial Cleanup

• Maintenance-Free Durability: With no motors to wear out or bearings to fail, this system is built to last for years rather than months. Its hardened steel alloy construction specifically resists abrasion from heavy materials.
• Certified HEPA Filtration: Every filter is tested to meet HEPA standards, capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This ensures that fine dust and contaminants stay in the drum and out of the air.
• Safety First: Operating on compressed air eliminates the risk of electric shock. It also includes a static-resistant hose to prevent painful shocks when handling dry, dusty materials.
• Quiet Operation: At only 82 dBA, it is roughly half as loud as many electric vacuums, creating a safer and more comfortable work environment.

Popular Applications

This vacuum is ideally suited for:

• Abrasive Media: Handling shot blast media, sand, and steel shot without internal wear.
• Fine Dust Control: Ideal for drywall refinishing, pulverizer maintenance, and mold removal.
• Critical Cleaning: Removing allergens, industrial contaminants, and irritants from shop floors.

Available Systems

EXAIR offers three main system configurations to suit your facility’s needs:

• Standard System: Includes the vacuum generator, lever lock lid, filters, and hoses.
• Deluxe System: Adds a drum dolly and a variety of heavy-duty aluminum cleaning tools like wands and floor tools.
• Premium System: Includes everything from the Deluxe package plus a 30, 55, or 110-gallon drum.

Pro Tip: To extend the life of your HEPA media, consider the optional Model 901373 filter protector, which slides over the filters to trap larger particles before they reach the main media.
