good catch. I misspoke. I wish we had that much CFM. The vacuum specs are as follows: CFM: 5,000 Vacuum: 28" Hg Transfer Case: OMSI rated at 500 HP and 15,500 ft-lb torque with air shaft Cyclones: six Filter Bags: 30 Snap-ring type with heavy duty galvanized cages Filtration: Patented single mode filtration eliminates wet or dry changeover Filter Access: Safe working area on top of collector body
There was a hydraulic freight elevator at my former job, which also had problems with ground water seeping into the pit. We had to call in a company with a truck mounted vacuum to suction out the water. Least a couple of times. I think the culprit was an underground stream, the water was coming up along the cylinder flooding the pit. The elevator was installed 20 or more years after the building was constructed in the early 1900's. Had a cabled elevator like a geared traction machine been in the original plans plans make the structure strong enough to support the machine and the cables etc. Might have avoided underground water flooding the pit.
