WV-55 SLUDGE VACUUM

The WV-55 sludge vacuum offers a fast, easy way to clean dust, chips and swarf out of wet dust collectors and other equipment. The WV-55 vacuums water along with the sludge and collects the solids in a reusable 5 micron filter bag. The vacuum can then pump back out only the water for reuse in the wet collector. The sludge vac is ideal for use on machines with sumps, parts washers or any storage containers with contaminated liquids and reduces manual maintenance requirements. The WV-55 vacuum uses a compressed air powered reversible drum vac that can fill or empty a 55 gallon drum in less than two minutes. Simply set the reversible drum vac pump to “fill” for it to quickly vacuum the liquid and solids. Once the wet collector is empty, set the pump and directional valve to “empty” for it to pump out the liquid for reuse. All the dust, chips and other solids will be collected inside the reusable filter bag for easy disposal. • Pump assembly with directional flow valve • 55 gallon drum • 10’ chemical resistant hose • 20’ compressed air hose • Aluminum chip wand • 2 reusable 5 micron filter bags • Drum dolly • Removes unwanted solids from liquid • No moving parts, No motors to clog or wear out • Self priming stainless steel pump • Safe - no electricity • Built-in pressure/vacuum relief • Spill free - auto safety

How the WV-55 Sludge Vacuum works Directional Flow Control Valve Barbed Connector The vacuum hose is attached to the barbed connection of the WV-55. The directional flow control valve on top of the drum and knob on the pump are 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 pump which pulls the liquid through the hose, then into the reusable filter bag. When all liquid is in the drum, the air supply is turned off. The filtered liquid can then be pumped out by setting the directional flow control valve on...
