Drum Vacs - Oils, Coolant, Chips, Wet & Dry

 Drum vacs are used in a wide variety of applications. They are essentially a vacuum generator that screws into the 3/4 inch hole on a 60 litre or 205 litre drum. Drum vacs can be used in both wet and dry applications. A float valve with a shuttle is fixed to the underside of a wet model drum vac. This rises and automatically shuts off the air supply when the drum fills with liquid. Drum Vacs have no moving parts and therefore are virtually maintenance free. A dry model drum vac will have a cartridge filter system in place that will stop the dust, metal filings, plastic, wood chips, grain and almost any other kind of dry waste from entering into the venturi tube. Even if it did, it would cause no damage and can be easily dis-assembled to clean out the ejector and venturi.

174 QUAD ULTRA VAC - The 174 Quad Uktra Vac is a 4 venturi system that creates huge vacuum and air flow. Designed as the answer for power stations and foundry's that have a massive waste management issue with foundry sand, PF ash and steel shot. The 174 Quad is fitted with 4 cardboard style fliter cartridges as standard and can be converted into a wet dry combo unit. The system has as standard a sonic nozzle blow down gun for blasting away waste in difficult to get to crevices and also to blow down the filters to extend their life.

The Quad 174 Ultra vac has many configuartions that can be supplied. For the recovery of heavy and abrasive PFA from power stations we suggest 10 metres of Anti-static hose, anti-ststaic camlocks and spun bonded anti-static polyester filter cartridges which have more resistance and longer life than ordinary cardboard filters, especially when recovering the destructive PFA. The AS filters can be removed and washed while a back up set is installed.
