EXAIR Industrial Housekeeping Vacuums – A Look at the Advantages Over Electric Vacuums

EXAIR Industrial Housekeeping Vacuums – A Look at the Advantages Over Electric Vacuums by bsbergmann EXAIR's line of Industrial Housekeeping Products consist of liquid and dry vacuums that utilize compressed air to operate. They do not have electric motors which most 'all purpose' vacuums rely on.  In industrial settings with harsh conditions and rugged use, the Industrial Housekeeping Products are ideally suited for the everyday wear and tear.                                    The heart of the EXAIR liquid type vacuums, like the Reversible Drum Vac, the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac, and the same range in the Chip Trappers is shown here. Installing onto an any closed head, 30, 55, or 110 gallon drum creates a high powered vacuum.  It can fill a 55 gallon drum in less than 2 minutes.  Then, with the turn of a knob, the the same pump quickly empties the drum. Useful for refilling coolant sumps, vacuuming floor spills, or transferring contaminated liquids to filtration tanks in minutes.  Flow rate can be controlled with the knob.  The Chip Trapper has an internal filtration system to separate the chips form the coolant, allowing for disposal of the solids, and for pumping of the clean coolant back into the sump. 5, 30, 55, and 110 Gallon Reversible Drum Vacs - A size to Meet Most Any Requirement Also available are the dry/solid type vacuum systems, the Chip Vac, Heavy Duty Dry Vac and the Heavy Duty HEPA Vac which use the vacuum units shown below.                                                                    The EXAIR Chip Vac and Heavy Duty Dry Vac is a powerful industrial vacuum for use on wet or dry chips. Both are for use with 30, 55, or 110 gallon drums, and the Chip Vac can also be used on a 5 gallon drum. The Heavy Duty HEPA Vac has the added benefit of the HEPA quality filter system.  Filtration per IEST-RP-CC-007 to 99.97% minimum filtration at the 0.3 micron level ensures performance meets the needed criteria. 5, 30, 55, and 110 Gallon Chip Vacs When you look at the vacuum producing units, you'll notice there is not an electrical cord.  Because the EXAIR Industrial Housekeeping Products utilize compressed air for operation, they do not have the same issues with wear, breakdown and failures as electrical type vacuums. There are no moving parts in the vacuum units to wear out or break.  They are maintenance free, just supply clean, dry air, and they will operate for a long time. For the the liquid type systems, there is a built in pressure/vacuum relief device and auto safety shut-off to prevent overfilling. There are no motors and bearings to wear out and no impellers to clog.  The Chip Vac is 50% quieter than a comparable electric vac.  Safety is a top priority, and the use of the unit on wet floor and spills is not an issue.
