Ideal for cleaning large amounts of non-dusty materials such as cast iron, steel, or aluminum chips and sludge, the heart of VAC-U-MAX’s 1020B industrial vacuum cleaner is a positive displacement pump, or rotary lobe, making it different from other portable industrial vacuums on the market. The continuous duty 1020B is available with either a 10hp or a 15hp motor that can efficiently clean up tons of steel shot in one-fifth the time as manual removal.
