The All Terrain Vacuum System can go places that are not accessible by vacuum trucks. The wheels and tow bar can be removed so that the unit will sit on the bed of trucks. A retractable tow bar can be supplied with ball or pintle hitch. Tracks for the wheels are optional. The unit is ideal for working in remote areas such as beaches, pipelines, and industrial locations.
Drumit
DrumIt is a drum-top vacuum head that attaches to a 55 gallon drum allowing liquids and wet solids to be intercepted and stored. It features an automatic shut off and adjustable vacuum relief valve. A ball lifts in the sight glass to indicate when the drum is full. DrumIt fills each drum to a consistent level every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of vacuum pump do I need, Positive Displacement or Rotary Vane?
Our positive displacement vacuum pump is good for moving solids. These pumps typically run 14 to 16 Hg and move more air than the Rotary Vane. The air carries the solids to the tank. The Rotary Vane vacuum pump is good for moving liquids. They typically move less air but have a higher vacuum up to 27 Hg.
Do you have a unit that is good for hydro excavation?
Yes, the PACS 2000 and the PACS 920 have a optional 5 GPM 3000 PSI power washer that works well with the vacuum system for hydro excavation.
Do you have a vacuum unit that is good for moving liquids?
Yes, the PACS 424 has a vane pump and is good to 27 Hg and can pressure unload up to 15 PSI.
