How the unit is built
- 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.
- Stainless steel tank — useful across many industries, including food.
- Anti-static explosion-proof suction hose — supplied with every unit.
- Floor tool — 450 mm wide squeegee.
- Wand — chromed steel, two piece, 38 mm.
- Tipping tank — with a grounding chain.
- 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.
Built for continuous recovery
