OverviewThe EXAIR Premium Chip Vac™ System P6393 is a compressed-air-operated industrial vacuum engineered for efficient pickup of metal, wood and plastic chips. The system uses a direct-flow nozzle assembly to convey chips into a standard drum and includes a filter bag for dusty materials. Premium systems are supplied with a 30, 55 or 110 gallon drum and heavy-duty aluminum tools.
WarningDo not use with low flash point materials, flammable liquids (fuel oil, alcohol, mineral spirits, gasoline, kerosene) or combustible dust. Not suitable for explosive environments.

Performance — Chip Vac System PerformanceDrum Size | Pressure Supply (PSIG / BAR) | Air Consumption (SCFM / SLPM) | Inlet | Sound Level (dBA)
30, 55, & 110 | 80 PSIG / 5.5 BAR | 40 SCFM / 1,132 SLPM | 3/8 NPT | 77 dBA
5 Gallon | 80 PSIG / 5.5 BAR | 33 SCFM / 934 SLPM | 3/8 NPT | 77 dBA
How It WorksCompressed air (typically 80–100 PSIG / 5.5–6.9 BAR) enters an annular plenum and is injected through directed nozzles into the throat. The jets create a vacuum at the intake, drawing chips into and through the unit into the drum. Exhaust air leaves via the drum lid port; airborne particles are captured by the filter bag.
