VAC-U-MAX Model 55E11

Liquid Recovery/Transfer Tank Kit

The VAC-U-MAX tank vacuums are a unique industrial vacuum cleaner system designed for high-speed transfer of various liquids directly into a closed top 55-gallon drum. They can operate on plant compressed air or single phase electric and provide high suction that offers recovery rates at better than one gallon per second. These units are compact and fit directly on the holes of a closed top, vacuum tight, 55 gallon drum.

VAC-U-MAX Sump Cleaner

Liquid Recovery/Transfer Tank Kit

The VAC-U-MAX Model 55MW is a heavy-duty cleaning system for 100% liquids or liquids with solid particles such as metal chips or shavings. Operators can quickly empty machine tool sumps, machining beds, oil/water separators, parts washers, rinse tanks, and clean up liquid spills.

Solid particles are separated from collected liquid with the VAC-U-MAX Chip Basket and liner. An operator can pick up liquids at rates of 1-2 gallons per second (60-120 GPM). The operator can return the coolant to the machine tool sump, or transport the vacuum to a central filtration system.

Convert from "Pump-In" (vacuum) mode to "Pump-Out" (pressure) mode with the turn of a lever and pump out the liquid contents of the drum through the discharge hose. The operator has full control of the liquid discharge rate with the lightweight discharging nozzle on the discharge hose.

VAC-U-MAX Model MDL1020MFS

15HP Continuous Duty Vacuum

The VAC-U-MAX Model 1020 features a powerful positive displacement pump designed specifically for high volume recovery (up to 5 tons per hour). It is also used in the recovery of heavy materials including steel shot, foundry sand, metal powders, sludges and other materials of similar nature. It is available in 15 horsepower and its continuous duty vacuum producer makes this vacuum able to meet even the toughest challenge.

In addition to being a very powerful vacuum, its portability makes this unit a versatile tool that can be used almost anywhere.

It has large rubber tires along with a unidirectional castor wheel that makes the 1020 easily maneuvered by a single operator. Noise levels are below OSHA standard. The Model 1020 comes standard with a secondary cartridge filter, vacuum relief valve and a 40-gallon container. The Model 1020 is approximately 3'X5'X51/2".
