industrial vacuum cleaner systems and equipment: Hi Vac
Applications    
Excess material is easily moved from covered hopper cars without dust or spillage. In one hour, one man with a Hi-Vac® can remove overloads that used to take half a day of shoveling by a crew of several men. Material is easily recycled. Shipbuilder's Hi-Vac® quickly paid for itself through reduced labor costs and sand reclamation. Hi-Vac® removes blasting sand from holds and compartments. Intercept hopper at right collects 90 to 95% of the sand for reuse, while fines and dust are collected in the hopper under the "Powerhead". Hi-Vac® cut in half the cost of removing heavy, wet sand from these 24" high pressure chambers at a water treatment plant.
 
Bottom dump hopper allows nearly continuous operation. Vacuumed material can be discharged to a conveyor, truck, storage bin, etc. Optional service platform gives access to the Hi-Vac® "Powerhead" for maintenance. Formerly, a five-man broom and shovel crew took 10 days to clean out this elevator pit. Now, two men and a Hi-Vac® do it in three days. Hi-Vac®'s patented 3-stage separation/filtration system allows cleanup of wet and dry materials at the same time, without a mechanical switchover or bypassing any filters.
 
 
Railroad can charge higher rates for its boxcars after they've been thoroughly cleaned out with a Hi-Vac®.   Spillage under conveyor idlers is cleaned out in 25% of the time it used to take a broom and shovel crew.
