Compressed air-operated products manufacturer, Exair, has launched its new EasySwitch Wet-Dry Vac, a vacuum that simplifies the filter change process when switching from a dry material to a liquid.

Utilising minimal compressed air, the EasySwitch is ideal for all applications – wet, dry, light or heavy. The company describes the product as one of the most efficient and effective industrial vacuums on the market.

The patented Exair product is designed to handle the toughest of industrial cleanup jobs, resting upon any 205 litre drum. With no moving parts and using no electricity, there is little concern for failed parts or motor failure associated with electric industrial vacuums.

The fast and tool-less conversion to vacuuming liquids is done by releasing one latch, removing the filter element and securing the latch. It is a matter of reinstalling any standard or HEPA certified filter into the lid assembly for dry materials.

The CE compliant EasySwitch is the latest addition to Exair’s selection of Industrial Housekeeping products – including the Reversible Drum Vac, High Lift Reversible Drum Vac, Chip Trapper, High Lift Chip Trapper, Chip Vac, Heavy Duty Dry Vac and Heavy Duty HEPA Vac.

Exair’s EasySwitch Wet-Dry Vac is available from Compressed Air Australia, the Darwin-based Australian distributor of Exair’s product lines.
