VORTEC UNVEILS DUAL-FORCE VAC   10/1/2001

Raising vacuum drum pump technology and performance to a new level, Vortec introduces its high quality, air-powered Dual-Force Vac. The newly designed, dual mode (fill/empty) drum pump offers many distinct features, all at a price comparable to other's single mode only pumps.

With all new, patent pending design features, the versatile Vortec Dual-Force Vac two-way drum pump is ideal for fast handling of sludge and coolant in sumps and open pits, hydraulic oil, tramp oil, solvents, waste water, liquid spills and much more. Driven by filtered compressed air and Vortec's Transvector® air amplifier, the Dual-Force Vac offers more powerful operation and faster flow rates, filling a 55-gallon drum in less than two minutes. Eliminating motor burn out concerns and potential shock hazards, the air-powered Vortec drum pump has no moving parts, so it operates quietly, reliably and is virtually maintenance-free. The Dual-Force Vac’s new fast-turn switch changes from vacuum to pump mode in only seconds, and its new swivel head design offers easier movement when connected to the air supply. In addition, exhaust air exits safely and conveniently downward. The Dual-Force Vac’s automatic safety shutoff valve prevents overflows and its relief valve limits internal drum pressure to 8 PSIG. It installs on a 55-gallon drum in less than a minute and is resistant to most non-volatile, nonflammable liquids. The highest quality air-powered drum pump available on the market today, every Dual-Force Vac is backed by a two-year warranty from Vortec.
