Description
Corrosive chemical spills and acidic tile cleaners pit plastic vacuum canisters and leave permanent chemical odors inside shop equipment. The Lavex 5 Gallon Stainless Steel Commercial Wet / Dry Vacuum with Toolkit provides chemical-resistant liquid recovery in a compact footprint. It holds 5 Gallons under 1200 Watt power. Liquid volume capacity requires periodic tank dumping.
The recovery drum utilizes deep-drawn 304 stainless steel to prevent chemical etching from acidic toilet bowl cleaners and floor strippers. A 1200 Watt bypass vacuum motor routes cooling air separate from moist tank air to protect internal motor windings from chemical corrosion. Four smooth-rolling swivel casters mount into a protective polymer base ring that prevents metal-to-floor contact.
Compact Stainless Slurry Recovery Hardware
Compact stainless design allows laboratory technicians and healthcare cleaners to sanitize spills without chemical odor absorption into tank walls. The comprehensive tool package handles both wet squeegee work and dry crevice dusting.
- 5 Gallon 304 stainless steel canister resists chemical corrosion, acidic sanitizers, and rough impacts.
- 1200 Watt bypass vacuum motor produces strong waterlift suction for rapid liquid recovery.
- Protective polymer base ring shields furniture and walls from metal scuffs during room cleanups.
- Washable cloth filter bag traps fine drywall grit and dust during facility maintenance tasks.
- Commercial tool set includes a flexible suction hose, two extension wands, wet squeegee, and crevice tool.
- Sturdy top carry handle allows single-hand transport across commercial facility job floors.
- Heavy-duty metal tension latches clamp the motor head down tight to maintain high suction vacuum.
Vacuum Motor Suction Bench Telemetry
Pumping water through the floor squeegee draws 10.0 Amps from a standard 120 Volt electrical outlet under continuous load. Motor housing temperature stabilizes at 130°F after 30 minutes of continuous flood water recovery. Suction performance reaches 78 inches of waterlift at 90 CFM airflow. Operating sound output measures 73 dBA at five feet.
Facility Cleanup Application Field Rules
Healthcare facilities, commercial kitchens, and research laboratories maintain sterile cleanliness fast with this stainless vacuum. Do not use this vacuum for large warehouse flood restoration jobs because small tank volume fills fast. Never vacuum combustible solvents or fuel residues.
- Rinse the stainless steel canister thoroughly with clean water after recovering acidic chemicals.
- Shake loose grit from the cloth filter bag and inspect the rubber lid gasket every 30 days.
- Wipe down the stainless exterior with protective metal cleaner to stop surface tarnishing.
