Questions to Ask BEFORE Investing in a Vacuum

Ruwac has been designing and building industrial vacuums in the United States since 1985.  Each explosion proof vacuum is inspected before it leaves our dock so you are assured you get what you ordered and in top operational order.  We can custom design our equipment and accessories to meet your specific application.  Our prices are competitive but our service is extraordinary.

When shopping for an explosion proof vacuum consider these questions:

Check Mark Is it legally certified?  
(ruwac vacuums are certified by ETL for use in Class 1, Division II, Group D, Class II, Division I, Group F & G for explosive situations).  More Information

Checkmark What warranty is available?  
(ruwac guarantees the vacuum housing for life, the MicroClean filter for three years and the electrical components for one year).

checkmark Is it made in USA?  
(Every ruwac machine is designed and built in the United States.  When your machine is ready to ship three employees inspect and test the unit with the accessories you have purchased to make sure everything is running smooth before it is packaged at our plant.  We want you to be able to start using the machine immediately upon receipt).

checkmark Are the accessories certified for explosive hazards?
