Features & Benefits

In-tank washdown

Delivers a high-pressure water spray to the tank interior, helping to simultaneously dump material and clean the inside of the tank. Minimizes cleanup time and helps remove difficult debris.

Three-stage cyclonic filtration

Engineered to help prolong filter and blower life, the system is suitable for wet and dry applications. The cyclones use a tuned vortex system in which the outer vortex spiral forces small particles to fall into a separate canister. The filtered stream then passes up through the inner cyclone tube and is carried to the final poly filter.

Cam-over rear door

Provides a 360-degree positive seal, even under reverse pressure without additional clamping requirements. The highly reliable cam-over door has no in-tank moving parts, so all maintenance is external.

Remote drains

Remote fluid drains and grease points are centrally-located near operator controls for ease of service.

Auto-belt tensioners

Keeps proper belt tensions at all times and helps extend belt life.

No hassle hose

Hang the suction hose on the side of the machine when moving between jobsites instead of coiling or disconnecting it, optimizing productivity.
