What Is The High Lift Reversible Drum Vac?
A safe, powerful, and maintenance-free way to recover:
- Coolant
- Hydraulic Oils
- Liquid Spills
- Sludge and Chips
- Tramp Oil
- Waste Water
EXAIR’s compressed air operated High Lift Reversible Drum Vac System attaches quickly to any closed head 205 litre (44 gallon) drum. Its high-powered vacuum is able to lift liquids up to 4.6 metres (15 feet) and fill a 205 litre drum in less than 85 seconds. With the simple turn of a knob, the same stainless steel pump quickly empties the drum. The High Lift Reversible Drum Vac has the extra power you need to move liquids from below grade work areas, sumps or tanks up to 4.6 metres (15 feet) deep!
Like all of EXAIR’s industrial vacuums, the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac uses no electricity and has no moving parts which assures maintenance free operation. It is designed for continuous and heavy duty applications where electric vacuums fail due to motor wear or clogged impellers. This vacuum efficiently and safely uses the compressed air in your facility. An automatic safety shutoff valve prevents overfilling.
How The High Lift Reversible Drum Vac Works
The flex hose is attached to the barbed connection on the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac system. The knob on the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac pump is set to the “fill” position. The compressed air supply valve is opened to permit compressed air at 80 to 100 PSIG (5.5 to 6.9 BAR) to flow through the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac pump which pulls liquid through the flex hose and into the drum. When all the liquid is in the drum, the air supply is turned off. If liquid exceeds the drum capacity, the safety shut off valve will prevent overfilling. The liquid can then be pumped back out of the flex hose by setting the knob on the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac pump to the “empty” position and opening the air supply valve.
Built To Last
The stainless steel pump has no motors or impellers to clog or wear out and there is no electricity or shock hazard! Safe operation is assured with a built-in pressure/vacuum relief and an automatic safety shutoff valve that prevents spills or overfilling.
Warning : Do not use with any material with a low flash point or with flammable liquids such as fuel oil, alcohol, mineral spirits, gasoline or kerosene.
