Description
Tornado Taskforce 18 Gallon Pneumatic Wet/Dry Vacuum Canada
It's a non-electric wet/dry vacuum built for shops where sparks are a problem. The 18-gallon stainless steel drum runs off compressed air, so there's no motor to ignite fumes or metal dust. We stock them in Calgary and ship Canada-wide.
This is the vacuum you want in a welding bay, a body shop, or anywhere you're dealing with combustible dust or flammable liquids. It runs on compressed air, which means no spark risk. That's a big deal when you're cleaning up metal shavings at a fab shop in Saskatchewan. The stainless drum doesn't corrode, and the external filter keeps suction up between empties.
Tornado Taskforce 18 Gallon Stainless Steel Pneumatic Wet/Dry Drum Vacuum with External Filter — heavy-duty cleaning, efficient filtration, professional grade for Canadian food service
This unit is built to handle both wet and dry debris without relying on electricity. The stainless steel construction takes the kind of abuse you'd expect in a busy industrial setting. It connects to your existing compressed air system and pulls hard enough for metal dust, solvents, and general shop cleanup.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com out of Calgary. We deliver to all 10 provinces and 3 territories in 2-5 business days.
"We had a customer, a large fabrication shop outside Edmonton, who needed several of these for their welding bays. Their electric vacuums kept tripping breakers or worse, posing a spark risk with metal dust. Switching to these 18-gallon pneumatic units eliminated those issues completely. The external filter really extends uptime, reducing stops for maintenance during long shifts, which is key for busy operations."
If you're dealing with metal dust, chemical spills, or combustible materials, this vacuum gives you a safe alternative. No electric motor, no sparks, no extension cords. The external filter catches fine without choking the airflow, so you're not stopping every 20 minutes to swap media. For more operational tools, check our non-food range at ChickenPieces.com. Getting the right equipment keeps you compliant and cuts downtime.

The tank is 18-gallon stainless steel—corrosion-resistant and fine for harsh chemicals or wet waste. It's purely pneumatic, so there's no motor to burn out or spark. The external filter handles fine dust without clogging fast.
Professional Applications
Auto body shops, welding bays, industrial facilities handling flammable liquids, hazardous material cleanup—anywhere there's a spark risk. Good for general wet/dry cleanup in any compressed-air shop.
