INDUSTRIAL VACUUM SYSTEMS FOR SALE OR RENT
We offer a variety of styles and sizes of industrial vacuum equipment including trailer-mounted and skid-mounted vacuums with sizes ranging from 850 to 5,660 CFM and 28″ Hg of vacuum power.
Increased power and output of more than 35% bridge the gap between the truck and trailer-mounted vacuum loaders without sacrificing the compact design, maneuverability, and lower costs unique to trailer-mounted units.
No trailer? No problem. Rapid Prep offers a variety of portable industrial vacuum systems. All of our Industrial Vacuum Systems are skid mounted and are available in stationary skid-mounted versions. Our Vacuum System 500 and Quiet Cube models are two examples of the most powerful, yet compact vacuum systems available.
Our Quiet Cube models are ideal for shipyards, factories, mining, and other industrial settings that require a powerful vacuum system with minimal noise under 85 DBA.
Industrial Vacuum Systems Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine which industrial vacuum is right for my project?
Choosing the right system depends on three main factors: the material you are vacuuming (weight and particle size), the application (continuous 24/7 operation vs. occasional cleanup), and the environment (indoor vs. outdoor). For high-volume abrasive recovery, systems with higher CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) are required, while hazardous dust requires specific filtration standards.
What is the difference between a standard shop vac and a high-performance industrial vacuum system?
A standard shop vac is designed for light-duty volume, whereas an industrial system is engineered for sheer power and durability. Industrial units offer significantly higher CFM (ranging from 850 to over 5,600 CFM) and vacuum pressure (up to 28” Hg), allowing them to move heavy materials like steel grit over long distances — tasks that would quickly burn out a commercial shop vac.
Which vacuum system is best for the specific media I’m using?
For heavy reusable abrasives like steel grit or aluminum oxide, we recommend high-powered three-phase systems often paired with a pre-separator to facilitate recycling. For non-reusable abrasives like silica sand, our high-CFM dust collectors ensure efficient cleanup and containment of fractured particles.
Are your vacuum systems HEPA-compliant for hazardous dust like silica?
Yes. Rapid Prep offers HEPA filtration options across several vacuum lines to ensure compliance with OSHA respirable crystalline silica regulations. These systems remove 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, providing a safe environment when handling hazardous dust.
What are the discharge and collection options for recovered material?
We offer various discharged configurations to match your workflow, including hydraulically driven uploading augers with 180° pivoting discharge, slide gates, and large-capacity collection tanks (up to 200 cu. ft.). These options allow for direct discharge into “Big Bags” or dumpsters to minimize material handling.
How quickly can a rental unit be delivered to my job site?
Rapid Prep operates eight locations nationwide, which allows for faster delivery and lower freight costs. Orders placed before 2 PM are typically processed the same day, and with 24/7 on-call availability, we prioritize reducing your project’s lead time.
Is operator training provided to ensure my crew uses the rental safely?
Yes. We pride ourselves on having the most highly trained service personnel in the market. We provide guidance and technical support to ensure your team can safely and efficiently operate the equipment from start-up to demobilization.
What is your protocol if equipment needs maintenance or service mid-project?
Rapid Prep offers 24/7 emergency support and rapid response to service calls to ensure zero downtime. With a large inventory of parts and eight service centers nationwide, we can provide on-site field service or ship replacement components immediately.
