• Capable of simultaneous wet/dry pickup when using external lter(s)
• This unit is constructed for recovering water or other solutions without any adjustments.
• Liquid shutoffs are available.
• Ideal for materials from powder to oily metal chips.
• Recovers uids from water to medium weight oils.
• External lter(s) collect lighter particles and resist clogging.
• 55-gallon drum collects heavier waste (approximately 95% of all pickup); light particles collect in
large external lters.
• Known for high C.F.M. (cubic feet of air per minute) and moderate suction (static water lift).
General Specications
The Single and Dual External Filter Electric Jumbo Vacuums are heavy duty wet/dry industrial vacu-
ums. They pick up wet and dry waste simultaneously without the need to change any lters. Both
units are designed to t onto a 55-gallon rolled tip steel drum (Tornado part number 95944) for volume pick-up with maximum efciency. Heavier waste settles in the drum, while lighter particles
are trapped in the large external lters. The 2.25 h.p. vacuum motors create tremendous CFM for
pick-up power. Both units handle a wide variety of waste with ease, ranging from ne powders to
medium-grade viscosity products. Accommodates 1.5” to 3” hose and attachments, depending on
the model.

brushes.
