Industrial Vacuum Cleaners with Self-Cleaning Filters for Non-Stop Suction Performance

"It's not the vacuum, it's the filter . . ."

Each Vacuum Series (3) includes a Self-Cleaning Filter - Specific for Extracting Dry Powders.  Unlike common Wet / Dry Vacuums, our vacuums don't require the removal of the filter to clean it.  Additionally, the cartridge filters are protected from direct contact (caking) of debris (i.e. powders).  This feature not only only enhances the filter's ability of Ensuring Non-Stop Suction Performance while extracting large volumes of dry powders but it also quadruples the life of the vacuum's cartridge filter(s) - they are protected from "direct" caking of the extracted debris.

Background Information on the ICS Industrial Grade Vacuums:
· Why Do People Buy Our Vacuums?
· How Are They Made?

 

                

Why do people buy our vacuums?  Simply Put:  If you want to vacuum ultra fine powders and collect 10 lbs of it, buy someone else's vacuum.

But if you want to vacuum volumes of ultra fine powder:

  • Without experiencing suction drop - dry powders will accumulate to the tank's inlet port

  • Without having to stop all to often to unclog or clean the filter

  • Without having to empty the tank all too often

  • Without having to worrying about dust escaping from the motor head into your work area - then buy a Dust Director or Surface Prep Vacuum.

Features Include:

  • Long motor and carbon brush life.  Besides the quality of these items, a huge part of their durability is our filter system

  • The Self-Cleaning & Non-Caking Filters prevents the following:
    - Overheating:  Cool, efficient airflow through the filters and across the motors is always maintained
    - Caking:  Filtration keeps ultra fine debris from caking the filter's surface which prevents the motors from overheating
    - Downtime:  Time spend on unclogging filters and emptying the tank all to often is eliminated ~ Guaranteed.

  • Self-Cleaning & Non-Caking Filters ensures the following:
    - Maintained, Powerful Suction:  Increases collection yields which increases operator productivity
    - Increased Productivity:  Without changing the filter you can progress from dry extraction to wet!

 

********** Testimonial  **********

"Thank you so much Ted.  I took a lot of flak for spending “that kind of money” on a vacuum; I cautioned them back then that anything else would be a total waste of money.  But after a few days of use, it got quiet around here . . .

Well here we are almost two years later, the renovations of phase 1, and simultaneous construction of a new building and R2D2 (as we have affectionately christened it) is the hero of the job, outlasting three other “cheap” ($200) vacuums.

I knew I was right.  Thanks for your help with that!  It is a marvelous vacuum; well done!

How Are They Made?

Specifications  -  Horse Power  -  Industrial Grade   2-Motor  vs. 1-Motor Vacuums (Benefits)

Specifications.

  • 2-Stage Bypass Motors.  Motor have been specifically selected to optimize the vacuum's suction power within the power restrictions of our 110 volt electrical system.  Motors are designed to operate on standard 15 or 20 amp residential circuits and small generators of 3000 watts or less, with properly gauged extension cords.

  • Lightweight, Flexible, Durable Vacuum Hoses.  1-1/2" x 12' hose for easy handling and maneuvering - with a smooth bore interior for increased air flow.

  • 2" Inlet Tank Port.  The vacuums include a 1-1/2" hose but 2" hoses are available and are recommended when longer hose lengths are required, such as floor grinding or working overhead while the vacuum remains on the ground.

Why purchase a 2 or 3-Motor Vacuum vs. using a 1-Motor?

  • 2-Motor Vacuums Literally Provide Twice the Suction Power . . . simply by pressing an on/off switch.  If you put your hand at the end of the hose, you'll feel a noticeable difference with 2 motors vs. 1-Motor.

  • 2-Motors Handle the Unexpected.  Two motor power is your lowest cost solution for handling those unique job site situations which seem to always occur.

  • Making Wider Cuts on the Same Joint.  When cutting concrete or mortar joints, you most effective dust control will always be with one pass of the blade.  When wider cuts are required (having to make 2 or 3 passes on the same joint), the 2nd motor's power absolutely will compensate for dust that will escape when attempting to make additional cuts on the same joint.

  • Compensates for Caked Filters.  Extra suction power always overcomes a caked filter . . . If the vacuum's filter is dirty or caked, instead of taking the time to disassemble the vacuum and clean the filter, often by simply turning-on the motors you'll regain 100% suction power.

  • Longer Hose Lengths.  All the Dust Director vacuums are equipped with a 2" hose inlet on the tank.  With the option of using a 2" hose, you'll increase the vacuum's suction power 100%!

CFM vs. H20 Rating.

  • Compare the vacuum's CFM & Static Water Lift (H²0) rating.  These are the true indicators of a vacuum's suction power - as opposed to horsepower (HP) rating.  When ideally matched, CFM and H20 (water lift) are what creates the powerful suction you need for extracting ultra-fine powders:  CFM - is "what you hear", H²0 - is "what you feel".

    Consider our 12,876 CFM Fan (24"), which has zero water lift.  Its powerful CFM rating is able to pull airborne dust from a 30 x 50 x 8' room.  With the H20 of a vacuum, you're able to extract piles of concrete dust.  Personally, in 90% of the applications, it is a combination of the two ratings that optimizes a vacuum's suction power.

 
Horse Power Rating - Misleading Information.

  • Inexpensive wet/dry vacuums, claiming 6.0 to 8.0 HP is a very misleading statement.  Peak horsepower ratings are the maximum output of a motor - as determined by laboratory testing.  Since a vacuum operating at peak horsepower is outside the normal operating range of a motor, it is not a true indicator of a vacuum's actual air power.

    What matters is CFM and H20 - they are the true measurements of how a vacuum harnesses its power.

  • ICS uses only the finest in 2-stage bypass motors from Ametek-Lamb Electric in all of our vacuums.  Our motors have been specifically researched to optimize suction power, within the power restrictions of 110 volts.

Industrial Grade Component Construction.

  • Longer Life Carbon Brush Wear.  We like to think that it is a combination of using the finest in by-pass motors and our AIRFlow® Hepa Filtration System.  The average replacement seems to 2 years of extreme use, before customers are replacing the brushes.  High quality USA motors, operate efficiently and at considerably cooler temperatures with the non-blinding AIRFlow HEPA Filtration.  Resulting in completely reliable and long lasting motors and brush wear.

  • Durable Tanks (3 Types).  Molded of high impact plastic with 1/4" and thicker wall construction, the tanks resist chemical attacks, corrosion, dent and scratch resistant while maintaining a professional appearance.  Their no-tip wide base design features a low center of gravity for excellent stability.  Even our 17 gallon steel tank has reinforced ribbing for handling higher suction lifts and its flat bottom makes it extremely valuable for use on scaffold.  (The tank is further protected by the side rails on its HD transport cart.)

  • Maneuverability / Portability.  HD transport carts are included with the 17 and 24 gallon tanks, complete with 8" rubber wheels and 3" HD casters.

  • On/Off Lighted Switches.  Industrial grade on/off switches are easily visible from a distance plus they're shielded against water and moisture damage.

  • Wet/Dry Use.  Vacuums can be switched from dry to wet collection with easy filter changing.  Or, use the Clean Extreme Filter Bags and collect dry or wet at the same time (See Clean Extreme Filter Bags, below).
