Heavy Duty HEPA Vac™
A rugged HEPA quality vacuum!
High capacity cleaning for dusty environments!
What Is The Heavy Duty HEPA Vac?
EXAIR’s compressed air operated Heavy Duty HEPA Vac attaches to an ordinary 30, 55 or 110 gallon open top drum to turn it into a powerful, HEPA (High Effi ciency Particulate Air) quality, industrial vacuum cleaner. Like the Heavy Duty Dry Vac, it’s powerfully designed to move more material with less wear. In addition, the Heavy Duty HEPA Vac has been engineered to fi lter contaminants to HEPA requirements in dusty environments requiring frequent cleaning.
Why The Heavy Duty HEPA Vac?
Engineered for dusty environments that require regular cleaning, the HEPA fi lter is designed with high capacity in mind. Ordinary vacuums can clog up quickly in environments with an abundance of dust or particulates. An economical, easily maintained pre-fi lter stops larger particles of debris while the HEPA fi lter handles smaller matter. All of EXAIR’s fi lters are 100% tested in strict accordance to IEST-RP-CC-007 for minimum 99.97% fi ltration at the 0.3 micron level to meet HEPA standards. An optional fi lter protector is available to extend the life of the HEPA fi lter. Th e Heavy Duty HEPA Vac does not use electricity and has no moving parts, assuring maintenance free operation. Th is eliminates the risk of electric shock often associated with electric shop vacs. Static resistant hose prevents painful shocks when vacuuming dry, dusty materials.
How The Heavy Duty HEPA Vac Works
Compressed air, normally 80-100 PSIG (5.5 – 6.9 BAR), fl ows through the inlet (1) into an annular plenum chamber (2). It is then injected into the throat through directed nozzles (3). These jets of air create a vacuum at the intake (4) which draws material in, accelerates it through the unit (5), and directs it to the bottom of the drum. The airfl ow passes fi rst through the pre-filter and then through the 0.3 micron HEPA filter, trapping airborne particles. It then exhausts through the vent in the drum lid (6). The Heavy Duty Dry Vac unit (5) and vacuum tools (7) are built to resist wear.
The Heavy Duty HEPA Vac’s lever lock drum lid fits any open top 55 gallon drum. Moving it from one drum to another can be done quickly, making it easy to keep diff erent materials separate for recycling. All materials are vacuumed directly into the drum, eliminating the heavy lifting that is common with electrically powered vacuums. Th e Heavy Duty HEPA Vac can be used with an open head steel, fi ber or plastic drum that is in good condition (ANSI Standard #MH2-2004). To prevent material contamination, a poly drum liner can be inserted into the drum.
Warnung: Do not use with combustible dust.
