TRANSCRIPT
 Today we're reviewing the vermiculite Attic VAC System. This is a complete system with all options shown. We have our 240 volt high lift vacuum here. This produces 300 CFM, 150 inches of water column. This is a certified HEPA vacuum. It's complete with a 0.5 micron filter. The machine does come with three independent switches, 30 foot power cord that you're gonna hook up to your house power, mini helix gauge for your HEPA, manual shaker system for your primary filter, and a removable dust pan for any residual dust that may get to the vacuum. The primary separation for the vermiculite system is gonna be done inside of our HEC high efficiency cyclone. And what we are showing here, we have a high efficiency cyclone. This is what's gonna connect to the incoming hose, so it does come with a button lock connector. The button lock connector does fit right into here. It button locks in place. The hose slides on. The hose is comes with 150 feet of hose, so you'll see that the connectors do slide on. They're nice and tight, and they don't fall off. It comes with a hose to hose connector, so you can connect the 50 foot sections together to bring you to 150 feet. So your button lock connector goes to the inlet. Your hose to hose connector connects the hoses together, and at the final end, you're going to have a wand. The wand is going to have a handle like this. It's aluminum, so it's lightweight. It fits directly into the hose, and that allows you to do the vacuuming up in the attic. So the separator for vermiculite is the high efficiency cyclone. It comes on the tipping frame. This is the optional water fill. So for the water spray down system, basically what you're gonna do is you're gonna hook that up to water. And before you open this up, you're gonna hold this for a period of time. That's gonna allow the drum to spray down so it wets the material before you expose it to the operator and the spring loaded so it automatically shuts. You have a level detector on here as well. The way the level detector works, it is a manual level detector, so as you're filling, if it drops all the way down, you know the drum is not full. As you start filling it, you'll see that this is actually going to fill and it's gonna stop the resistance, and it's not gonna let you drop down as much. You know, the drum is full, that's when you're gonna shut it down. That's a manual system. You do not wanna leave that in a down position. It won't automatically raise up. You're gonna want to keep it up and drop it down in to feel the resistance. When it's time to empty, simply remove the two latches. Raise the lid and remove the bag. Now, right now, we haven't set this up with a bag yet, so putting a bag in is extremely easy. You're gonna want to use a six mil or at least a four mil poly bag. The thicker the better. So when you're handling it you don't risk. Run the wrist of the bag breaking. This is a four mill poly liner. Putting the bag in is easy. Tip that back, put the drum down and clamp it. So that is the primary separator. Primary separator has a connection hose already on it. This is an equalization hose. This hose is, so it holds the bag in place so it doesn't suck up. And you'll see that this hose is made to fit right in the front of the vacuum. So you can easily hook these two together. And now you have your vermiculite system, which would have your primary separation system with the connection hose into the vacuum, and that's a complete system.
