I recently got this new wap, the sl200, The blue and black one.
Its predisessor the wap m2 is well over 30 years old and we use it every day in our workshop. So when I found the sl200 on Gumtree I bought it. They are locally made In Johanasburg and have a very simple but extremely robust design. They are also extremely expensive due to the high quality materials used, around $ 1400.00. I love the fact that you can fit just about any range off attachments to them. |

They can do wet and dry pic up. These machines are very popular with building industry and food and printing industry. In the printing industry they use them to suck up excess ink and gulp from the printing machines.
You can only use it with two motors but then again why would you want only one motor, On a drum this size it would not move enough air out of the container to make sufficient vacuum.
I had a sl200 some years back and used to use it like a central vacuum in our old ( small ) house. I would leave it in the garage and run a 100 meter hose into the house and vacuum, aaah silent vacuuming :) |

Actually the idea of been able to shut down one of the motors is more of a back up thing, Soteco of Italy makes a range of wet& dry vacuums, Badged as many different brands, Prochem, Tornado and many more. The machines have up to 3 motors. The advantage is if you are on a site working, say resurfacing tiled floors or factory floors if one motor blows you can carry on with the on the job with the one motor.
I suppose you could just want less suction but heaven knows what for. The more suction the better in my opinion CLICK HERE TO GO TO gsheen's LINK |
