How the System Works

OVERVIEW: The VORTEC Beast impeller creates a
powerful vacuum that pulls large volumes of air and
product into the inlet. The air and product is
centrifugally dispersed into the vacuum's
shroud and discharged thru the outlet. The
lift handle enables the user to push the
vacuum as you would a wheel barrow (see
picture to the right), or pull the vacuum. The
VORTEC Beast comes with a very powerful HONDA
V-Twin engine with Variable Timing Digital Ignition,
a 4 gallon gas tank, and extra quiet exhaust.
An introduction to key components of the system follows:
HONDA V-Twin engine: Powers the VORTEC Beast
high-powered vacuum. Electric start is standard.
Impeller Assembly: The impeller assembly is
comprised of a base, a center hub, blades, and
potentially an upper ring (depending on impeller
version you receive). Together, the Impeller
Assembly spins at very high rates (up to 3600 rpm) to
create a vacuum due to the centrifugal forces
created.
Note: Actual system may have slight differences from pictures.
Inlet: The inlet diameter is 6 inches.
Front Panel: This panel allows access to the impeller assembly.
Shroud: The shroud is made of thick gauge steel and is 2X thick abrasive resistant in
main wear area.
Outlet: The 6" diameter outlet section features a safety shield that pivots out of the
way to allow for a hose or vacuum bag to easily be mounted onto the outlet.
