Wet/Dry Vacuums
Wet/Dry vacuums are a very commonly used piece of equipment used
primarily for wet pick up. It can be used for dry applications but a filter
bag must be placed in the tank of the machine to prevent dust from
being pulled into the vacuum motor. Wet/dry vacuums have
increasingly become commodity products over the past 10 years. With
a large influx of consumer products into the market, the profitability of
these units has dropped dramatically in the commercial segment. Virtually every
facility has the need for a wet/dry vacuum. A bypass motor of 1.5 to 3
horsepower is the standard. The machine is traditionally used with a 2-bend
wand and a squeegee floor tool. Front mount squeegee units are very effective
for fast recovery of liquid. Inexpensive units designed for consumer use do not
usually have a commercial bypass vacuum as part of the machine. They are
rated to run 30 minutes a week versus 8 hours per day on a commercial wet/dry.
