The Eliminator package from Fruitland Tool & Mfg. makes installation of the company’s vacuum pumps easier, thanks to a carbon-steel bracket assembly that bolts to a truck frame with minimum effort.

“All a customer or dealer has to do is mount it to the truck frame, connect the drive and plumbing systems and they’re ready to go to work,” says Keith Myers, sales manager for Fruitland. “It takes five to eight hours, depending on the installer’s ability, versus 10 to 20 hours with a self-made bracket.”

The unit weighs about 800 pounds, and is designed for 1,000- to 12,000-gallon tanks. It’s available in two different drive configurations that accommodate right-angle and belt drives, and also comes in clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, Myers says.

The Eliminator package is primarily designed for Fruitland’s RCF 370 or RCF 500 pumps, which generate airflow of 259 and 320 cfm at 18 inches Hg, respectively. The package also features a high-efficiency oil-catch muffler; powder-coated components for rust protection; moisture trap; stainless-steel filter and four-way valve; pressure and vacuum relief valves; pressure and vacuum gauge; and drain valves.

The pumps are designed for easy maintenance. Vane-gauging ports, for example, allow customers to check vane wear without disassembling the pump. “It takes the guesswork out of vane wear,” Myers says.
