DME Company Chip Vac™ 6193

What Is The Chip Vac? EXAIR's Chip Vac picks up dry or wet chips and delivers them directly to an ordinary 55 gallon drum. Chip Vac is used to clean chips from fixtures, floors and work surfaces of machining centers, lathes, saws, mills and other industrial equipment. Why The Chip Vac? The compressed air operated Chip Vac is an industrial duty vacuum designed specifically for vacuuming chips. It creates a powerful cyclonic action that vacuums metal, wood or plastic chips into a 55 gallon drum. Dusty materials such as absorbents are trapped by the 0.1 micron filter bag to keep the surrounding air clean.Electrically operated "all purpose" vacuums aren't designed for use in industrial environments. As a result, motors wear out quickly and impellers clog. Chip Vac has no moving parts to wear out or break which ensures long life. Sound level is half that of electric vacuums. Chip Vac's lever lock drum lid fits an ordinary open head 55 gallon drum. In less than a minute, the Chip Vac can be removed and easily placed onto another drum to keep different materials separate for recycling. Constant heavy lifting and dumping of vacuum cleaner tanks is eliminated since all chips are vacuumed directly to the 55 gallon drum.
