Exair 6196-30 30 Gallon Reversible Drum Vac System

EXAIR's compressed air operated Reversible Drum Vac System attaches quickly to any closed head 30 gallon drum. Its compressed air powered vacuum fills a 30 gallon drum in less than 1 minute. With the simple turn of a knob, the same stainless steel pump quickly empties the drum. The Reversible Drum Vac does not use electricity and has no moving parts, assuring maintenance free operation. An automatic safety shutoff valve prevents spills or overfilling.

How the EXAIR Reversible Drum Vac Works

The flex hose is attached to the barbed connection on the Reversible Drum Vac system. The knob on the Reversible Drum Vac pump is set to the "fill" position. The air supply valve is opened to permit compressed air at 80-100 PSIG (5.5-6.9 BAR) to flow through the Reversible Drum Vac pump which pulls liquid through the flex hose and into the drum. When all liquid is in the drum, the air supply is turned off. If liquid exceeds the drum capacity, the safety shut-off valve will prevent overfilling. The liquid can then be pumped back out of the flex hose  by setting the knob  on the Reversible Drum Vac pump to the "empty" position and opening the air supply valve.

Warning: Do not use with any material that has a low flash point or with flammable liquids such as fuel oil, alcohol, mineral spirits, gasoline or kerosene.
