How the System Works
OVERVIEW: The VORTEC Beast impeller
creates a powerful vacuum that pulls large
volumes of air and product into the inlet. The
air and product is centrifugally dispersed into
the vacuum’s shroud and discharged thru the
outlet. The lift handle enables the user to
push the vacuum as you would a wheel
barrow (see picture to the right), or pull the
vacuum. The VORTEC Beast comes with a
very powerful HONDA V-Twin engine with
Variable Timing Digital Ignition, a 5 gallon gas
tank, and extra quiet exhaust.
An introduction to key components of the
system follows:
HONDA V-Twin engine: Powers the VORTEC Beast
high-powered vacuum. Electric start is standard.
Impeller: The impeller is comprised of a base and
blades. Together, the impeller assembly spins at
very high rates (up to 3600 rpm) creating a vacuum
due to the centrifugal forces created.
Inlet Tube: The inlet tube diameter is 6 inches.
Front Panel: This panel allows access to the impeller assembly.
Shroud: The shroud is made of thick gauge steel and is 2X thickness in main wear area.
Outlet: The 6” diameter outlet section features a safety shield that pivots out of the
way to allow for a hose or vacuum bag to easily be mounted
onto the outlet.
Handle: The handle assists with moving the vacuum.
Note: Actual system may have slight differences from pictures.
