The High Lift Reversible Drum Vac's powerful vacuum can fill a 55 gallon drum in just 85 seconds from 15' and, with the turn of a knob, the same stainless steel pump can quickly empty the drum. Since the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac is powered by compressed air, it has no electric motor to wear out and has no impellers to clog. In fact, the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac has no moving parts, assuring maintenance free operation. It is designed for continuous and heavy duty applications where electric vacuums fail, and can also be used for lighter duty applications.

The CE compliant High Lift Reversible Drum Vac attaches quickly to any closed head 30, 55 or 110 gallon drum.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
