OverviewEXAIR's Deluxe Chip Vac System adds features that make the Chip Vac™ easy to use for everyday tasks. EXAIR's compressed air operated Chip Vac is an industrial duty vacuum designed specifically for vacuuming chips. It creates a powerful direct flow action that vacuums metal, wood or plastic chips into an ordinary drum. Designed for occasional use with dusty materials, the included filter bag keeps the surrounding air clean. Warning: Do not use with any material that has a low flash point or with flammable liquids such as fuel oil, alcohol, mineral spirits, gasoline or kerosene.

Performance (Chip Vac System Performance)Drum Size | Pressure Supply (PSIG / BAR) | Air Consumption (SCFM / SLPM) | Inlet (NPT) | Sound Level (dBA)
30, 55 & 110 | 80 PSIG / 5.5 BAR | 40 SCFM / 1,132 SLPM | 3/8 | 77 dBA
5 | 80 PSIG / 5.5 BAR | 33 SCFM / 934 SLPM | 3/8 | 77 dBA
How It WorksCompressed air, normally 80-100 PSIG (5.5 - 6.9 BAR), flows through the inlet into an annular plenum chamber. It is injected into the throat through directed nozzles. These jets of air create a vacuum at the intake which draws material in, accelerates it through the unit, and directs it to the bottom of the drum. The airflow exhausts through the port in the drum lid. Airborne particles are trapped by the filter bag. Warning: Do not use with combustible dust.
