Description
Plastic vacuum tanks crack when rolled down rough concrete stairs and degrade under caustic machine coolant exposure. The Lavex 16 Gallon Stainless Steel Commercial Wet / Dry Vacuum with Toolkit provides durable slurry containment inside a reinforced metal vessel. It handles 16 Gallons under 1200 Watt power. Emptying full liquid payloads requires manual tipping.
Heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel forms the recovery canister to eliminate chemical corrosion from industrial cutting oils and floor strippers. The 1200 Watt bypass vacuum motor routes motor cooling air separate from moist tank air to protect electrical armatures from water mist. The four-wheel dolly uses impact-resistant polymer with integrated bumper rings and metal swivel casters.
Mid Size Industrial Slurry Recovery Platform
A balanced 16-gallon capacity provides ample volume for commercial flood recovery without becoming too heavy for two workers to lift into trucks. The complete toolkit handles diverse wet and dry custodial tasks.
- 16 Gallon 304 stainless steel drum resists rust from corrosive chemical solutions and industrial coolants.
- 1200 Watt bypass vacuum motor produces strong waterlift suction for efficient liquid extraction.
- Reinforced caster dolly provides smooth 360-degree mobility across cracked warehouse slabs.
- Washable cloth filter assembly traps fine concrete dust during dry commercial maintenance jobs.
- Nine-piece tool package includes a 10-foot hose, chrome wands, wet squeegee, and utility tools.
- Steel toggle latches clamp the motor head down firm to preserve maximum canister suction pressure.
- Top molded handle provides a secure hand hold for maneuvering the unit between work stations.
Bypass Motor Performance Bench Telemetry
Continuous wet slurry pickup draws 10.0 Amps from a standard 120 Volt outlet under full suction load. Motor casing temperature stabilizes at 134°F after 40 minutes of uninterrupted flood extraction. The vacuum core produces 80 inches of waterlift suction at 95 CFM airflow. Operating acoustic emissions measure 74 dBA at five feet.
Industrial Facility Maintenance Field Rules
Machine shop operators, commercial contractors, and school maintenance teams recover liquid spills fast using this stainless vacuum. Do not vacuum flammable solvents, volatile thinners, or gasoline because motor brush sparks will ignite vapors. Never operate in wet mode without verifying the internal float valve moves free.
- Flush the stainless steel drum with clean water after recovering acidic chemical wash or floor strippers.
- Clean fine dust from the cloth filter bag using dry compressed air every 25 hours of dry use.
- Inspect the caster wheels for hair and string wrap each month to maintain smooth roll action.
