GapVax vacuum trucks are renowned for their highly efficient filtration, low filter baghouse maintenance costs, and long filter bag service life. With proper service, a GapVax can normally operate 1,500 to 2,000 hours before requiring a change of filter bags. Since filtration maintenance is the single greatest expense of a wet/dry vacuum truck, superior filtration immediately lowers operating costs. Another obvious benefit is more efficient loading and lower fuel consumption because clogged filter bags slow down loading, sometimes drastically, and can cause excessive fuel consumption. Lastly, GapVax filtration is single mode, meaning there is no changeover from wet to dry mode.
