Elastec/American Marine

DrumIt vacuum from Elastec/American Marine has a stainless steel head that mounts on a 55-gallon open-head drum and connects to any vacuum truck. The unit weighs 50 pounds and has no moving parts. The vacuum collects unwanted gunk, eliminating costly contamination and can be used for changing leaking drums, separating storage or disposal of hazardous materials, hydroexcavation, wet/dry pickup, oil spill recovery, oil sump and separator cleanup. When full, a shutoff ball lifts a sight-glass tower, automatically stopping suction. An adjustable bypass valve controls vacuum levels on the drum. The vacuum includes 3- or 4-inch camlock fittings. 618/382-2525; www.elastec.com/vacuums/drumit.
