In the world of industrial surface preparation, efficiency and continuous equipment performance are crucial. That’s why Rapid Prep, a leading industrial equipment rental and sales company, has made a breakthrough with its innovative industrial vacuum cleaners, specifically designed for continuous operation. This technology seeks to improve equipment performance and optimize work on large-scale projects.
Industrial Vacuums: A game changer for contractors
Chris McNamara, Rapid Prep’s National Sales Manager, shared details about the company’s latest product line, the continuous-duty industrial vacuum. Unlike traditional vacuums, this system doesn’t require downtime to empty the collected material. This is especially important when working long distances, as the operator doesn’t lose power to the equipment during the process.
The system works uniquely by moving the collected material from an upper chamber to a lower chamber, where the equipment continuously removes it. This technical advancement ensures that the operator always has constant suction, even when the vacuum is working in remote locations, which could cause material to settle and reduce the efficiency of conventional vacuums.
Technical characteristics that define excellence
Rapid Prep’s newest industrial vacuum features a 175 horsepower diesel engine, meeting Stage 4 emissions regulations. With a capacity of 2,300 CFM and a pressure of up to 28 inches of mercury, this machine offers robust performance for most surface preparation applications. Chris explained that this machine is ideal for 80% of applications found in the industrial sector, especially where long working distances are required, such as those where cleaning tasks are being performed up to 1,000 feet away.
Rapid Prep: More than just equipment rental and sales
The company not only sells industrial equipment but also specializes in equipment rentals, giving its customers the flexibility to access advanced technology without a long-term commitment. Additionally, the company offers full service, including equipment maintenance and repair. With service centers located in several locations across the United States, the company ensures that all equipment is maintained in excellent condition, resulting in reliable and efficient service for its customers.
Strategic alliance with Industrial Vacuum
The company maintains a strong partnership with Industrial Vacuum, one of the leading manufacturers of industrial vacuum equipment. This collaboration allows Rapid Prep to offer high-quality products, directly influencing the development of new technologies. Chris highlighted how the company works closely with its partners to continually improve technology and adapt it to changing market needs, thanks to constant feedback from its customers and direct experience in the field.
