Clean up spills and transfer liquids
March 2005
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
EXAIR 's new Model 6901 Spill Recovery Kit when used with the stainless steel Reversible Drum Vac makes spill clean-up and liquid transfer a fast, easy task. The Spill Recovery kit connects directly to any closed head 55 or 30 gallon drum. The compressed air powered Reversible Drum Vac installed on that drum permits vacuuming liquid through the Spill Recovery Kit, and with the turn of a knob, the ability to pump the liquid back out for disposal. This eliminates the need to first use an electric vacuum cleaner to vacuum the liquid, then lift the heavy container to dump the waste liquid back out.
The Model 6901 Spill Recovery Kit features a chemical resistant one-piece ABS handle with attached 355 mm double blade squeegee. The Model 6196 Reversible Drum Vac System includes the pump assembly, connections and hose for converting the drum into a two-way liquid vacuum pump.
