Description
Plastic vacuum drums crack when dragging across jobsite thresholds and warp under aggressive floor stripper solutions. The Lavex 26 Gallon Stainless Steel Commercial Wet / Dry Vacuum with Squeegee Tool and Enhanced Toolkit recovers large liquid volumes inside a rigid metal vessel. It holds 26 Gallons of slurry under 1400 Watt power. Dumping a full liquid load requires using the drain hose.
The recovery canister uses corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel that rejects chemical pitting from caustic floor strippers and acidic concrete wash. An industrial two-stage bypass vacuum motor routes wet tank air away from electrical motor windings to prevent short-circuits. The mobile cart features tubular steel construction with a tip-and-pour pivot bracket and large rear wheels mounted on a solid steel axle.
High Capacity Slurry Recovery Framework
An integrated wide-path squeegee tool recovers dirty scrub water in continuous forward walking passes without dragging hand wands. The enhanced toolkit equips crews for detail wall dusting and narrow crevice extraction.
- 26 Gallon 304 stainless steel tank withstands harsh industrial chemical strippers and metal shavings.
- 1400 Watt two-stage bypass vacuum motor produces powerful suction for high-volume slurry pickup.
- Wide-path front floor squeegee tool recovers wet floor scrubber residue in continuous forward passes.
- Flexible rear dump hose discharges wastewater straight into janitorial floor drains without tipping.
- Tilting cart chassis allows operators to dump heavy dry construction rubble over dumpster rims.
- Washable cloth filter assembly captures fine drywall dust during dry commercial renovation cleanup.
- Large rear transport wheels and front swivel casters roll over cords and expansion joints with low drag.
Vacuum Motor Suction Bench Telemetry
Continuous wet slurry pickup draws 11.6 Amps from a standard 120 Volt circuit under steady load. Motor housing surface temperature stabilizes at 138°F after 45 minutes of uninterrupted floor stripping work. Tank suction holds rock-solid at 88 inches of waterlift at 106 CFM airflow. Operating sound emissions measure 76 dBA five feet from the tank.
Facility Maintenance Scope Field Directives
Building service contractors, school maintenance departments, and flood restoration crews recover heavy water fast with this stainless vacuum. Do not vacuum flammable solvents or toxic fuel spills because electric motor brushes can ignite vapors. Never operate in wet pickup mode without the mechanical float ball valve installed.
- Flush the stainless steel drum and dump hose with fresh water after vacuuming caustic chemical strippers.
- Shake concrete dust from the cloth filter and inspect the rubber drum seal gasket every 30 days.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior tank with protective oil to prevent surface water spotting.
