VAC-55 HEPA Vacuum with HEPA Filtration provides great suction (90-100 cfm), won't clog, recovers 40% more dust than bag-type vacuums, and provides clear visibility inside your cabinet during blasting.
HEPA FILTRATION TRAPS DUST - Traps ultra-fine dust particles down to 0.3 microns and keeps 99.97% dust inside the vac and out of your shop! Plus, has 29% more filtering area than old-style Vac-40 Vacuum. The ultra-fine filtration prevents vacuum motor failure caused by dust entering the motor. The result is a longer-lasting vacuum.
NON-STICK FILTER CARTRIDGE MEMBRANE - Resists clogging because dust and dirt simply fall off the filter surface before it can build up. This enables the Vac-55 to have 40% more suction and 56% more filtering area than older-style bag-type filter vacuums which clog over time. The Vac-55 works like NEW every time!
QUICK MAINTENANCE - If suction should ever decrease, simply pick up the Vac-55 and tap the bottom canister on the ground. HEPA filter is also washable by removing and rinsing with water and then air drying. We recommend having an extra HEPA Filter Cartridge (#6011-HI) on hand so you can rotate during cleaning.
EASY CLEAN-OUT - New one-piece polyethylene bottom canister won't rust and can be easily rinsed out for cleaning. Easy on-off lid assembly for fast and quick emptying of accumulated dust and dirt. Plus, compact design saves space in your shop.

When using a cabinet for more than occasional use (about 1 hour daily) or commercial use (5 hours per week), a vacuum is not adequate for dust removal due to limited capacity. We recommend our 180-DC or 310-DC Dust Collector. Vacuum and dust collector systems are designed for use with Skat Blast® Cabinets only. Do not attempt to use on wet surfaces or as a wet vacuum. Electrical shock and serious injury could result.
