If you need to fill -and empty – a drum with water, or water-like liquid quickly and easily, there’s really no quicker – or easier – way to do it than the EXAIR Reversible Drum Vac. They’ve been around for decades, and are successfully used in a wide variety of applications. The Reversible Drum Vac pulls a -96″H2O suction head on a 5, 30, 55, or 110 gallon drum, which makes it ideal for a number of typical Industrial Housekeeping or fluid handling applications.
In cases where the liquid has a higher viscosity, or is below grade, the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac was developed with those exact situations in mind. It generates a -180″H2O suction head, and comes with a 20ft vacuum hose. Since its introduction, the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac has been successfully implemented in numerous uses where the extra suction head has been key:
- A maker of bottled condiments (think barbecue sauce- or ketchup-like consistency) uses them to clean up accidents when bottles are overfilled, or a conveyor malfunction results in dispensing a bottle’s worth of condiment when there’s not a bottle under the nozzle. The 20ft hose gives them the reach to service several production lines from one centrally located drum, and the two way pumping action allows them to easily pump the drum into their waste collection system.
- A precast concrete company uses one for various cleanup applications. The High Lift RDV‘s suction head is needed, in particular for their hydraulic oil leaks & spills.
- A ferry operator uses one to clean out the engine room bilge. They put the High Lift RDV on a deck above the engine room…the 20ft hose extends down to the bilge to pump it out, and when the drum is full, it reaches to the main deck so the drum can be emptied into their waste recycling company’s receptacle.
- A construction company uses one to clean up the slurry created during concrete cutting operations. The High Lift RDV is able to keep up with the slurry from even their largest saws, and the 20ft hose allows them to keep the drum conveniently out of the cutting area.
EXAIR Corporation has a variety of Industrial Vacuums to meet most any cleanup need. They’re all compressed air operated, which means they have no electric motors to burn out, or moving parts to wear out. If you’d like to find out more, give me a call.
