How the unit is built

Numbered diagram of the SPAV air vacuum: power head, tank, hose, wand, floor tool
Numbered components, described below.
  1. Pneumatic power head — silenced with a mild steel shroud. Internal baffles keep the sound signature very low without affecting the performance of the single or twin venturis.
  2. Stainless steel tank — useful across many industries, including food.
  3. Anti-static explosion-proof suction hose — supplied with every unit.
  4. Floor tool — 450 mm wide squeegee.
  5. Wand — chromed steel, two piece, 38 mm.
  6. Tipping tank — with a grounding chain.
  7. Wet or dry — the unit pictured can be configured either way.

The pneumatic power head is attached by stainless steel bolts to a powder-coated mild steel plate, which in turn attaches to the stainless steel tank.

Twin float valves on the vacuum lid that shut the unit off when the tank is full
