Exair’s EasySwitch Wet-Dry Vac simplifies the filter change process when switching from vacuuming a dry material to a liquid or vice versa. According to the company, this powerful pneumatic vacuum utilizes minimal compressed air and is well-suited for wet, dry, light and heavy applications.
The company says the machine offers a fast, toolless conversion to vacuuming liquids by using a one-latch release, removing the filter element and then securing the latch. For dry materials, users simply reinstall the filter into the lid assembly. The EasySwitch is designed to handle the toughest of industrial cleanup jobs with ease. It rests upon any 55-gal drum and uses a standard or HEPA-certified filter when vacuuming dry material.
The EasySwitch vacuum is said to create a powerful vacuum (at a quiet 79 dB) without the need for electricity. Because the vacuum generator has no moving parts and uses no electricity, there is less concern for failed parts, motor failure or working with liquids associated with electric industrial vacuums, according to the company.
