HafcoVac SS-EXLR Stainless Steel Industrial Vacuum – 30-Gallon, Air-Powered, Explosion-Proof
The HafcoVac SS-EXLR is a 30-gallon stainless steel industrial vacuum powered entirely by compressed air. The single Venturi system generates suction with no electrical components and no moving parts, making it certified for hazardous, explosive, and chemically sensitive environments. Stainless steel construction resists water, acids, alkaline solutions, and chlorine, and the unit ships fully assembled for immediate deployment.

30-Gallon in Classified Environments
The 30-gallon SS-EXLR provides the maneuverability advantage of a smaller drum versus the 55-gallon configuration — easier to position in tight areas, lighter to move when full, and faster to empty. In classified hazardous environments, the trade-off between capacity and mobility is a practical consideration: the 30-gallon unit requires more frequent emptying but is easier for a single technician to position and move around equipment, piping, and tight process areas. Where suction performance needs to be stronger or hose runs are longer, the Dual EXLR configuration provides higher airflow.
No Moving Parts and OSHA/NEC Compliance
The SS-EXLR contains no electrical wiring, no motor windings, and no rotating components — the Venturi effect from the compressed air flow is the sole source of suction. This eliminates the electrical ignition risk that makes conventional electric vacuums unsuitable for NEC Class I and Class II hazardous locations. The stainless steel body is compatible with grounding and bonding requirements under NFPA 77 for static electricity control in classified areas.
