What size air compressor is needed?

A minimum 15 hp compressor is required, with 1/2" minimum air line couplings. For the dual model, 25 hp and 3/4" couplings are needed.

How do I assemble the unit?

Remove all components, attach the filter support rod to the Jumbo cover, connect the external filter to the venturi powerhead by turning the collar clockwise, install the hose adaptor, and place the cover assembly onto the drum. Ensure exhaust nozzles face outward.

How do I start and stop the vacuum?

Connect the air supply line to the head line connector. Start by turning the air valve to ON; stop by turning it to OFF. Always shut off air supply before disconnecting.

What types of materials can be picked up?

This vacuum can handle water, heavy oils, powders, metal shavings, grindings, and other industrial debris. It recovers materials from fine powders to heavy viscosity products.

General Specifications

The Single and Dual Air External Filter Jumbo Vacuum(s) are heavy duty wet/dry industrial vacuums. They pick up wet and dry waste simultaneously without the need to change any filters. These compressed air vacuums have no moving parts and have tremendous suction for portable units. Both come with a 55-gallon rolled top steel drum (Tornado part number 95944) for volume pick-up with maximum efficiency. Virtually all dry and liquid recovered products go into the drum, therefore maintaining peak performance. Both units handle a wide variety of waste, ranging from fine powders to heavy-grade viscosity products. Designed to perform at maximum efficiency with 1.5" to 2" hoses and attachments.
