Tornado 95955 55 Gallon Single Venturi Air Wet / Dry Industrial Vacuum with External Filter

Description

Operating electric vacuum motors around volatile solvents or flammable liquids introduces severe electrical spark hazards. The Tornado 95955 55 Gallon Single Venturi pneumatic vacuum uses compressed air to draw heavy wet and dry industrial waste. Built for hazardous manufacturing spaces, this spark-free unit clears oily turnings and liquids, but requires a continuous 45 CFM compressed air supply at 90 PSI.

A precision-machined brass Venturi nozzle mounts inside a heavy cast aluminum powerhead, creating deep vacuum suction with zero moving electrical parts. The powerhead clamps over a heavy 18-gauge 55-gallon steel drum through quick-release hold-down latches. An external poly-filter bag captures fine dry dust outside the drum, while an internal liquid shutoff float halts suction before dirty fluids enter the pneumatic exhaust jet passages.

Pneumatic Venturi Suction Specs

Hazardous plant maintenance demands spark-free extraction tools that run without electric motors. This single-jet pneumatic vacuum pairs compressed air operation with an external filter for continuous dry and wet recovery.

• Single Brass Venturi Jet operates without moving parts to eliminate mechanical friction sparks.
• 45 CFM Compressed Air Consumption drives powerful static suction from standard plant air lines.
• External Cloth Filter Bag captures fine dry particulate outside the main 55-gallon container drum.
• 55-Gallon Heavy Steel Drum stores massive volumes of wet industrial sludge and machine chips.
• Mechanical Liquid Float Shutoff stops vacuum draw on liquid contact to protect the exhaust nozzle.
• Heavy Cast Aluminum Lid Assembly resists corrosion from aggressive industrial cutting oils.
• Solid Brass Grounding Lug discharges static electricity straight to plant structural ground beams.

Pneumatic Jet Load Output

Compressed air bench tests record consumption of 45 CFM at 90 PSI across the single Venturi orifice. Static suction gauges display 140 inches of water column lift alongside 85 CFM open intake airflow. Sound monitoring meters log 78 dBA at 4 feet from the baffled pneumatic exhaust port. Steel drum shell temperatures drop 4°F below ambient room temperature during continuous operation due to compressed air expansion across the Venturi block. Liquid tests show suction of 55 gallons of coolant in 65 seconds.

Pneumatic Fleet Deployment Directives

Moving this pneumatic system across plant aisles requires clear paths for compressed air supply lines, as hose kinks halt suction without delay. Refineries, paint booths, and machine shops gain spark-free suction safety, but facilities without an industrial 15 Horsepower air compressor cannot maintain the required airflow to operate the Venturi powerhead.

• Drain inline air moisture filters each day to keep water droplets out of the brass Venturi nozzle.
• Shake the external cloth filter bag after each dry collection cycle to maintain airflow velocity.
• Verify grounding strap electrical continuity with a digital ohmmeter before each shift.
