Spill Air Vac 15 gal – 100 cfm cyclone-ATEX-CA

The Spill Control Air Vacuum (SPAV) is a pneumatic power head fitted to a stainless steel 15 GALLON/60 litre drum secured to a trolley platform. The air consumption/model for combustible dusts and explosive wet and dry waste starts at 100 cfm for high air flow and extended suction hoses.

High powered industrial dry vacuum WITH CYCLONIC SEPARATOR.

Spillrite EX models have no ignition source, no heating element and will not cause sparking when in operation. Power head is constructed from powder coated alloy and when atop the steel drum and placed on the ground and connected to the supplied earth grounding strap any static charge will dissipate into the ground or through the anti-static suction hose.

Platform trolley AS units have grounding chain from the metal trolley and the stainless steel drums are grounded to the trolley.

The platform trolley is made from a light metal frame which helps to allow Electro static dissipation (ESD) from the unit via a chain to the ground.

  • Length 940mm
  • Width 660 mm
  • Height 990mm

The pneumatic power head sits on top of 15 GALLON/60 litre stainless steel drum. The filtration is a two stage system that includes the cyclone mounted on a second 60 litre stainless steel drum. The SPAV uses a standard weave filter cartridge. When the SPAV is connected to the cyclone the separation is approximately 99% into the cyclone drum and 1% into the Cyclone drum allowing far longer running times and less filter cartridge cleaning.

What is a cyclone and how does it work?

A cyclone is a device that helps to separate the dust particles from the main vacuum air stream and forces the particles down and into a collection drum and thereby preventing the majority of dust particles from travelimng through to the filter. The airflow when the cyclone is activated through vacuum creates a cyclonic vortex, much like a liquid whirlpool, sucking the waste downwards and the shape of the cyclone and the size of the aperture (hole) in the capture drum  then prevents the majority of the particles from re-entering the vacuum flow and traveling back into the source of the vacuum, the power drum.

This process then allows the vacuum unit to operate for extended periods without the need to clean or replace the filter. The image below shows the approxiimate percentage of dust partiucles that stays in the capture drum and that travels through to the power drum and the filter. Not all cyclones work well. Spillrite uses cyclones that have been tested extensively in the field and we know they work.

  1. The SPAV has a powder coated anti-static metal silencer shroud bolted to an anti-static explosion proof alloy lid
  2. The chrome wand attached to the floor tool adds to the anti-static characteristics of the unit
  3. The unit comes with 3 metres of explosion proof smooth bore suction hose
  4. Metalic explosion proof anti-static fittinsg are used throughout the system
  5. A grounding chain is secured at the front of the trolley to allow a static dissipation path
  6. Metal couplings are used to atttach to the air fittings
  7. The lid is grounded to the stainless steel tank via metal clips
  8. The capture tank is stainless steel with a 60 litre capacity
