Vacuum Systems for Powered Sanders

Collect debris while you sand by connecting these vacuum systems to your air-powered or electric sanders. Their built-in manifold has one input and two outputs for compressed air, so one of these systems can take debris from two sanders. Automatically switching on and off when your sander does, they minimize energy costs, wasted time, and noise. All are static-dissipative, so they reduce the risk of sparking, which is a concern when you’re creating flammable debris. They also come with a HEPA-rated filter cartridge that keeps them from circulating the debris they gather. These filters remove at least 99.95% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger.

To connect them to your sander, add a vacuum hose with integrated air line (sold separately). The air line connects to the sander’s ¼ NPT air inlet and the hose connects to the 1”-dia. vacuum connection. Otherwise, choose air and vacuum hose that matches your sander’s connections.

Air Powered

Wall Mount—Wall-mount vacuum systems keep your floor clear of obstructions.

Two Axle-Mounted Wheels and Two Swivel Casters—Vacuum systems with wheels are easy to roll between sanding stations and into storage.

Parts Cleaning Vacuum/Blowers

Clean parts with compressed air without propelling fluids and debris all over your shop. These vacuum/blowers quickly blow coolant, oil, and chips off your parts while a vacuum sucks them into a removable drum for recycling or disposing of them. Often used on CNC machined parts, they’re also good for parts that you want to keep dry or can’t handle corrosive cleaners.

Automatic Vacuum/Blowers

Circular Airflow

Program the automatic vacuum/blowers to turn compressed air on and off using your programmable logic controller (PLC). They’re commonly used to incorporate parts cleaning into your robotic machine tending jobs.
