Fill or empty 210-litre drum in 90 seconds
May 2006
Pneumatics & Hydraulics
The Exair Reversible Drum Vac is a safe, maintenance free way to recover coolant, hydraulic oils, liquid spills, sludge and chips, tramp oils and wastewater.
This compressed air operated Drum Vac System attaches quickly to any closed head 210-litre or 205-litre drum. Its high-powered vacuum fills the drum in less than 2 minutes. With a turn of a knob, the same stainless steel pump empties the drum. Coolant sumps can be easily refilled, floor spills vacuumed, or contaminated liquids transferred to filtration tanks in minutes. The flow rate in and out of the drum can be controlled with the knob, making it suitable for dispensing liquids.
Electrically operated 'all purpose' vacuums are not designed for industrial environments. As a result, motors wear out quickly and impellers clog. The Exair Reversible Crum Vac does not use electricity and has no moving parts, assuring maintenance-free operation. An automatic safety shutoff valve prevents spills or overfilling.
Applications would include coolant sumps, food processing, lathes, floor cleanup, EDM machine pits, screw machines, machining centres, tanks, etc. Advantages are numerous: no moving parts, maintenance-free, stainless steel construction, safe - no electricity, built-in pressure/vacuum relief, compact and portable, installs quickly, spill-free - auto safety shutoff, fits standard 210-litre drums.
