The Minuteman 705 Series is an air-operated wet/dry vacuum. Compressed air passing through a single-jet venturi in the lid creates 180" of static lift and 166 CFM, with no motor, no switches and no power cord. Choose a 15 gal stainless steel tank or a 55 gal painted drum on a caster dolly.
Minuteman builds it for heavy industrial cleanup in machine shops, foundries, steel mills, refineries and rail repair shops, picking up metal chips, grit, sand, coolant and oil, and for any area where standard voltage is not available. It runs from a 1/2" ID air line at up to 100 psi.
Features
No Motor, No Cord
Compressed air and the venturi principle create the vacuum, so there are no moving parts, motors or switches to replace.
180" Static Lift, 166 CFM
Minuteman rates both tanks at 180" of static lift and 166 CFM from 42 CFM of input air, and says the 705 can fill a 55 gal barrel with liquid in under 60 seconds.
Adjustable Air Valve
A shut-off valve on the lid sets the air supply, so the vacuum can run on less pressure and air when full power is not needed.
Wet and Dry Pickup
For dry work the cloth filter bag sits in the tank; for liquids it comes out and a ball float in a cage protects the venturi as the tank fills.
15 Gal Stainless or 55 Gal Drum
The 15 gal stainless steel tank holds 10 gal of liquid on 8" rear wheels and 3" front casters. The 55 gal painted drum holds 45 gal on a dolly with 5" casters and empties through a dump valve.
Takes 1-1/2" or 2" Hose
The intake accepts 1-1/2" or 2" hose, and Minuteman offers industrial and commercial tool kits for it.
Low 80 dBA
The venturi is silenced down to the low 80 dBA range.
