HAFCOVAC Advantages

Hazardous Locations

If you need to operate a vacuum in an OSHA defined hazardous location, you must use equipment safe for use in that environment. HafcoVac explosion proof models are approved for use in Class I,II.

Intrinsically Safe

Your employees are not at risk of electrocution as they would be if using an electrically operated device in potentially dangerous wet environments.

Explosion Proof – Dust Ignition Proof

No moving parts, no electric motor and fully grounded configuration creates an intrinsically safe machine when ordered as an anti-static configuration.

For Dry or Wet Environments

Our Vacuums perform equally with no modifications necessary for wet or dry environments. HEPA Filtration is available for all our models.

Flammable Liquids

Many industries need to recover flammable liquids or fuels produced as a byproduct of a manufacturing process, or inadvertently spilled. Even if your facility does not regularly produce hazardous byproducts, ensuring your vacuum is safe for any unpredicted application is prudent protection.

Made In The USA

Assembled and distributed in America means quality you can count on.  We have a lifetime warranty.

Are Fully Grounded

Each explosion-proof vacuum configuration is fully grounded. This ensures that dangerous static electricity will not accumulate.

Combustible Dust Mitigation

OSHA has been increasingly strict about enforcing its General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) through its Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program. Many businesses have faced steep fines for failing to adhere to these requirements. Additional regulation is pending, if your company doesn’t already have a combustible dust program, you’ll likely catch the attention of an OSHA inspector if you don’t have suitable equipment such as a HafcoVac explosion proof vacuum.

Energy Efficient

Sharing the same compressor used for other equipment is more efficient than a separate electric motor driven unit.

Variable Power

The amount of air supplied to a HafcoVac vacuum can be easily adjusted at the valve, resulting in variable suction when full power is not required. Reducing the suction power reduces energy consumed by your compressor, reducing noise while allowing you to tune the unit to your particular need.

Reliable

With no moving parts to wear out, you will never burn out an electric motor, no matter how harsh your application or environment. We stand behind our products, proudly made in the USA with a lifetime warranty!

Powerful

Utilizing powerful compressed air, a HafcoVac pneumatic vacuum delivers unsurpassed power by leveraging equipment you already own and operate. The size and weight of a comparably powered electric machine would be unmanageable.

Same Day Shipping

Most models are in stock, ready for immediate shipment. Any model you are able to configure using our vacuum configurator will be out the door generally within one business day.  Shipping is typically via Con-Way freight from Midland Park, NJ, though air shipment of complete units is possible.  We often can get you a HafcoVac delivered as early as tomorrow.

Real Support

Your calls will never be answered by a machine. Your emails will never be sent into an automated black hole. Chat requests will never be answered with canned replies. Get efficient support quickly from our knowledgeable product specialists and rest assured you’ll get the support you deserve in the unlikely event you ever have trouble with your machine.

Contain No Moving Parts

Eliminates the possibility of ignition from mechanical friction or contact.

Use No Electricity

Eliminates sparks from motor arcing, shorts, switches, etc.

Manufacturing Byproducts

Many processes such as milling, grinding, cutting produce dangerous scrap which must be safely collected and properly disposed of without endangering employees or the facility.

Static prone materials

Many materials, even those which pose no explosion hazard, create dangerous static electricity buildup as they are conveyed through an ungrounded system.  An explosion proof unit will provide static dissipation. A HafcoVac is an excellent choice as a powder paint vacuum

Protection from the unknown

You may not anticipate a vacuum being used for picking up flammable or combustible materials, but you never quite know what a tool in your facility may be used for outside its normal application.  Add explosion protection for peace of mind.
