A drum vac is short for a drum vacuum. It is an industrial vacuum system that offers extremely high power compared to a normal house hold vacuum. Your average household vacuum creates about 4-6"Hg vacuum. The Drum Vac can create vacuum in excess of 16"Hg. The Super Box Thruster develops 18"Hg when powered by 2 x 100 cfm air jets and the high powered model develops in excess of 18"Hg to a maximum of 20"Hg.

The Super Box Thruster Twin is a pneumatic drum vac which means that it is powered by compressed air.

1. The SBT lid unit is placed over the top of an open top 55 gallon or 205 litre steel drum.

2. Once in place, the compressed air is attached to the air intake claw coupling.

3. The compressed air can be regulated by the inbuilt air regulator attached to the lid.

4. The compressor that delivers the compressed air can be anywhere from 40 cfm right up to 200 cfm depending on which model is purchased.

1.  Once the compressed air has been supplied via 1/2" or 3/4" air line the unit is ready to be powered up.
2. When the lid is in place on the drum and the air is supplied it is directed into internal injector jets that fire into a pre-determined venturi bore. This creates a vacuum inside the drum.
3. The pressure regulator controls the pressure to a maximum of 100 ps (7 bar). Re-inforced drums can take a higher pressure without collapsing.
4. The twin box thruster venturis provide the powehouse.
5. The suction hose is attached to the intake pipe.
6. The wand or floor tool once connected to the suction pipe conveys the waste into the drum.
7. Waste is stored in the drum. If it is fluid, a float valve device installed in the lid will crack the vacuum seal when the fluid reaches drum capacity, effectively cutting the vacuum off.
