Description
Electrically operated “all purpose” vacuums aren’t designed for use in industrial environments. As a result, motors wear out quickly and impellers clog. The Reversible Drum Vac does not use electricity and has no moving parts, assuring maintenance free operation. An automatic safety shutoff valve 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, gasoline or kerosene.)
The Reversible Drum Vac is a safe, maintenance free way to recover:
- Coolant
- Hydraulic Oils
- Liquid Spills
- Slurry and Chips
- Tramp Oil
- Waste Water
The following Reversible Drum Vac Styles are available:

It includes a compressed air powered stainless steel two-way pump assembly along with a shutoff valve, 10′ (3m) of 1-1/2″ (38mm) I.D. vacuum hose with a 90° quick release elbow, and an aluminum wand. All are sized to fit your closed head drum (30, 55, or 110 gallons).
