Ruwac Air Vacuums

The Most Powerful and Quiet Air Vacuum of it's Class!!!

Ruwac’s pneumatic vacuums are designed to deliver power, performance and reliability in applications where electricity is not available or desirable. Our Air Vacuums have no moving parts and are fully groundable, eliminating any shock hazards.

The AV1000 and AV2000 are both equipped with a 9 gallon easy-to-empty dustpan and our single stage filtration that is 99.9% efficient @ 0.5 micron. Our low mounted inlets prevent the vacuum from ever tipping over and our housings are a compression cast composite that will never dent or rust. These rugged vacuums are a cinch to operate and maintain, and will last you a lifetime-we guarantee it!

Ruwac solves your cleanup and cross contamination problems by providing reliable, indestructible and maintenance-free vacuums to the powder coating industry. Ruwac’s Air Vacuums have more suction than electric vacuums in the same class and the inclusive sound suppression is so brilliantly engineered-you can’t even tell that the vacuum is running-it’s that QUIET!

Rated for continuous duty applications, the AV Series is ideal for explosive atmospheres, eliminating the expense of a 3 phase explosion proof motor.

A - Modular Oval Construction, designed for flexibility, upgradeable

Our modular oval construction offers the maximum design flexibility. Changes to the vacuum can easily be made in the field. Ie: change motor decks, add
HEPA filtration. Extensive parts commonality; all parts in stock.





Oval vs Round
Our industrial vacuums were brilliantly engineered using the “Oval Principle”. Many other industrial vacuums are constructed using a standard round collection container, adding a filter and a motor. Ruwac’s are constructed with an oval shaped housing. This shaped has proven to be the most effective when dealing with fine dust.

B - Fiberglass Reinforced Carbon Impregnated Compression Cast Composite
Static Dissipating – Electrically insulating (10-6 ohms resistance)  Fully Groundable

Ruwac’s manufactures all of our machines out of a compression cast composite.  This material is put into a press at 900 tons of pressure, insuring a precise mold every time.  The material will not rust, is dent free, and abrasion resistant.  We warranty all compression cast components for life, guarantying you a long lasting vacuum.

Our AV pneumatic industrial vacuums are carbon impregnated compression cast composite. This makes them static dissipating, electrically insulating (10-6 Ohms resistance) and chemical neutral.

Every vacuum should be fully grounded for safety. We offer retractable grounding reels and static dissipating air lines.

C - Long Life Oversized Dustless filter system, 99.9% @ .5 microns

Every Ruwac Industrial Vacuum is designed for returning only clean air to the work environment.  Our oversized standard filter is 99.9% efficient at .5 microns.  This unique designed filter allows the operator to pick up fine material in large quantities, maintaining a low filter loading.  Our average filter life is 5 to 7 years, (assuming proper maintenance) and carries a warranty of 3 years.

HEPA, ULPA & Active Charcoal Filters available

Some applications require even more filtration than our standard .5 microns.
For these customers, HEPA (99.97% @
.3 microns), ULPA & Active Charcoal Filters are an available option on all our equipment. With our standard filtration down to .5 microns, you might never change your HEPA Filter!

D - Lever Actuated Drop-down Dust Pan for easy emptying

What first impresses everyone about the Ruwac vacuum is the easy to empty drop down dustpan. Just lift the lever with your foot, and the dustpan is lowered to the floor. Push the vacuum forward, and the dustpan is easy to reach and empty. To replace the pan, no alignment needed, just push it under the vacuum 
                              and step down on the lever.

E - Tip resistant counter-balanced base, with low level hose inlet
Are you frustrated by your vacuum turning over all the time, either the vacuum weighs little, or it is a top heavy drum top model. With Ruwac’s low inlet and counter balanced base, the operator can pull the vacuum via the hose without ever tipping the machine over.

H – Manual external filter shaker control for easy filter maintenance

With Ruwac’s oversized filters, maintenance is reduced to almost nothing. Each time you empty the dust pan, give the external shaker bar one or two shakes and you are ready to return to dust-free cleaning.

Reverse pulse or motorized filter shaker available
Reverse pulse filter cleaning using shop air and an electric motorized shaker is available on all Ruwac industrial vacuums.

I – Heavy duty non-marking casters: rear with locking brakes

Ruwac vacuums have large heavy duty non-marking swivel casters on the front and large heavy duty non-marking swivel casters, with brakes on the rear. They are very durable and stay on!

J – Cast deflector to knock material out of the air stream

Our cast deflector knocks material out of the air stream so that none of the material you vacuum hits the filter directly. Material hits the deflector and then spins around our oval designed dust pan. This slows the material down even more, so only the finest material ever contacts the filter. This allows you to have much longer vacuum cycles and be more productive because time is not spent cleaning or replacing filters!

Bronze deflectors available for explosion proof applications.
