Sump Clean-out Systems

Cleans virtually any machine tool sump quickly by filtering sludge and chips from coolant. Available in multiple configurations, sizes, and power sources.

The Drum Top Sump Cleaner™ is a vacuum unit that converts an existing open-top drum into a powerful machine tool sump cleaner. The drum top is an economical alternative to a dedicated sump cleaner.

Features

• Heavy-duty drum cover to fit on standard 55 U.S. gallon (205 liter) open top drums
• Air venturi vacuum generator
• Positive sealing mechanical float for drum overfill protection
• 2" (50mm) dia. x 10' (3m) L suction hose
• 2" (50mm) dia. x 36" (1m) L round cleaning tool

Removing spent coolants, waste fluids, or oils from machine sumps, reservoirs, or storage tanks is usually just plain bothersome. Inexpensive vacuums will not do a satisfactory job, are quite loud, and are not built for the industrial environment. Now, the Reversible LIQUI-VAC™ provides the solution to your sump cleaning problems. It is small enough to fit in your hand, yet it sucks up tramp oils, used oils, and waste coolants fast and simple. This unit will also discharge fluids out of the drum into a separate container if desired with just the turn of a knob.

Features

• operates on shop air
• attaches to small bung on a standard drum
• has one moving part
• requires no maintenance
• has whisper quiet exhaust

The Reversible LIQUI-VAC™ comes in a kit that includes everything you need to start using it the very first day. The standard kit includes:

• venturi unit
• 1" x 10' (38mm. X 3 mL) suction hose
• drum standpipe adapter
• quick disconnect fittings
• air control valve
• safety shut-off valve
• aluminum wand

The Li'l Sucker™ is the newest addition to the Yellow Bellied Sump Sucker™ line of sump cleaning vacuums. Based on extensive customer research and extended field trial experience, customers were able to tell us what they liked, disliked, felt had no value, and would change in the previous designs. The result was the Yellow Bellied Sump Sucker that customers designed. It is durable, highly maneuverable, easy to use, and provides exceptional suction and discharge flow rates.
