Cool-Vac 16 Horsepower Insulation Removal Vacuum

The demand for retrofit is increasing. Traditionally, insulation companies needed vacuums to remove fire-damaged, moldy insulation. Various contractors including pest-control, HVAC and even fire departments are using vacuums to extract old, damaged insulating material. The HVAC industry uses vacuums for cleaning duct work.

Contractors need a versatile, portable solution to remove insulation, quickly, efficiently and cleanly. With the Cool-Vac 16, you are able to remove insulation from attics, sidewalls and crawl spaces.

Damaged insulation material (fire, smoke and water) is heavy and requires an industrial solution to remove the heavy material.

With the Cool-Vac16, you are able to vacuum heavy, damp material into 75 cu. ft. disposable bags or directly into a truck or dumpster.

Features of the Cool-Vac 16

• B: An Industry First! Proprietary replaceable ‘liner’ in the fan housing chamber. Fan housings are very expensive and run hundreds of dollars. We have incorporated a replaceable wear strip inside the fan chamber to prevent highly abrasive fibers and foreign debris passing from damaging the housing.
• C: A 18 inch diameter ‘turbo-sonic – FC’ blade ¹ eliminates wet fiber build up in the housing area. The turbulence created by the forward-curvature sweeps the housing clean of debris.
• Fully, robotically welded high abrasion resistant fan blades reduce the chance of a catastrophic failure a due to operational stress. The blades are not spot welded, but a bead runs the entirety of the blade.
• Computerized balanced blades which reduces wear to engine bearings.
• 16 h.p. Briggs and Stratton ‘Vanguard’ commercial duty engine (highly regarded as one of the most durable engines in its class), provides ample power to exceed production rates of any system in its class.
• Powder-coated, heavy gauge welded steel construction.

Hook-up Recommendations

Various combinations of hose lengths up to 150 ft. can be used effectively. Larger diameter hoses with shortest hose length allow for maximum production rates. Recommended: 25 ft. x 6” dia. hose for exhaust, 125 ft. x 6” dia. hose reduced to 25 ft. x 4” dia. hose for maximum vacuum pick-up in the attic.
