You are also talking serious money! I've got a dual baghouse vac using a positive displacement pump (roots blower) powered by a 24 horse Honda. The unit goes for $16k alone, then hose, tools, etc. you end up approaching $20k. You can certainly find smaller and cheaper than I'm talking about, but all much more money than these electric heads.
 
i looked into building my own gas roots blower it wouldnt be nearly that expensive if you built it on your own .. thats also saying you have the know how to do it ..... i custom built my own vac unit and it was very costly.. the reason i had to build one was i had to meet certain dimensions for it to fit under my truck .... dont get me wrong its a hell of job to do this but jim is a smart guy and im sure he would figure it out...
 
Industrial Air was my supplier. Paul Bryant is the one you'd speak with. Good to deal with and knowledgeable, but needs a little reminder every now and then that you're waiting on him.

I'm working with him again on some smaller vac heads for drum top mounting much like we are discussing. I was just going to install my own sump pump on a float activated trigger with a check valve.

Ruwac also makes some nice vacs in electric, gas, propane, air, etc. They are real hard to get a recommendation from, though. They rely on their dealer network, which the one I spoke with referred me right back to the company for spec out. She could sell the stuff but not spec it out. The company then blew me off after speaking to them once. That's when I ended up going with Industrial Air Solutions.

I still haven't found an electric-head-type motor that was brushless. I'm wondering how long and how much you can run the electric-drum units?
 
Here's just one:

That's for the head alone for drum mounting.

I personally am leaning towards one of the brushless vacs from either Ruwac or Industrial Air and one of the drum seperator/pump out linked earlier in this thread. Would make it much easier to convert to sucking dry also, just pull the vac off the separator and you have a normal shop style vacuum.
 
Hows that working in Garage Cleaning ?

I see make Vacu Booms out there however they are asking a mint. I just don't see how 1800 to 3000 dollars for a 202 cfm vacuum is a fair price. Many of you say that the Nikro Vac's are among the best. Their duty cycle is about 2 hours. Their CFM is 230 with 110 inches rise. They cost around $850, HOWEVER, they do not come with a pump inside the unit.

My question.... how many of you have made your own and with which pump out do you prefer? Any tricks to installation of the pump? Flex line from the pump to the outlet is most like preferred. Is there another system that you may recommend?

I have a garage coming up with the ramp going right out to the street. Normal booms will not work, and I need a Vac with some BALLS. Pardon my French ladies. This time I need some help !!!

Amazing burst of technology.

Reportedly 18 years in business and and $1800 vacuboom is a "mint". Way too expensive.

5 years later and you can't properly clean a garage without a $100,000 filter.

The BS couldn't get much deeper.
 
Nice Catch. Just part of the conundrum that is Jimbo.
 
Depending on how much recovery work you do......go to your local weld shop and make a tank....

and check eBay for blowers
