Powered by compressed air, the VAC-U-MAX 55MW filters liquids and removes metal chips from coolant in order to increase coolant life and extend machine tool filtration systems.  Operators determine where and when fluid comes out; as a result, according to the company’s press release, there is less exposure to bacteria and dermatitis that can result from emptying machine tool sumps, machining beds, oil/water separators, parts washers, rinse tanks and cleaning up liquid spills. The 55MW is 26" wide, allowing the unit to be up close to machine tools, minimizing vacuum hose lengths. The hoses are designed to prevent accumulation of liquids and chips, and the cart base has slotted holes to avoid pooling of fluid.
