Self-Cleaning Technology

Self-Cleaning Technology

Everyone has dealt with the trouble that a clogged vacuum filter creates, it takes up valuable time and creates a mess. Pulse-Bac solves this problem with our patented Automatic Pulse-Clean Technology™ that automatically cleans the filter while you work. Others may claim to have “automatic” or “pulse” filter cleaning, but look closely and you’ll see that they fall short of the original, requiring extra equipment like air compressors or manual gadgets that require work to stop for filter cleaning. These don’t truly solve the problem and make for more work. Only vacuums with the Pulse-Bac® name use our unique technology to automatically clean the filter while you work.

Single or Dual-Stage HEPA Filtration

Single or Dual-Stage HEPA Filtration

The 552H model provides Dual-Stage HEPA filtration. Dual-Stage filtration models, like all Pulse-Bac vacuums, feature the 5 Point HEPA Filter as an initial stage of filtration and an additional exhaust side HEPA filter. Both the 5 Point Filter and the exhaust side filter are individually tested to meet the 99.97% @ 0.3 microns standard required by most regulations and recommended when working with many materials. In fact, third-party testing showed that our 2 stage filtration system actually provided 99.99% @ 0.3µm filtration, exceeding the standard.

Durable Steel Construction

Durable Steel Construction

Pulse-Bac® units are made for the rugged conditions of a job-site. We don’t cut cost with molded plastic tanks, cheap electrical components and off-shore manufacturing. With tanks made of 16ga. cold-rolled U.S. steel and a steel assembly covered with by a high impact ABS plastic hood, Pulse-Bac® is made to keep working even in the most punishing conditions. Even details like wheels are heavy duty, non-marking polyurethane casters, instead of molded plastic wheels on thin spindles. Add the fact that every Pulse-Bac is assembled by hand in our facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma and you’ve got quality you can’t beat.

Standard Auto Tool Start

Standard Auto Tool Start

Our Automatic Tool Start feature will start the vacuum for you when you start your tool. Plug your tool into the Automatic Tool Start and switch the power button to auto. When your tool activates, the vacuum will turn on automatically. When the tool turns off, the vacuum will run for 3 seconds to clear the hose before it shuts off.

1.5" Locking Hose & Inlet

1.5" Locking Hose & Inlet

Get a tight and secure fit each time you hook the hose up. The locking inlet locks in the high-quality crush proof hose so that it stays put while the unit is in use. This avoids accidental disconnects while working and ensures a good seal for maximum vacuum.

Cyclonic Debris Management

Cyclonic Debris Management

The Cyclonic Debris Management system comes standard on all vacuum tanks, extenders, and preseparators. Our CDM system works with our pulsing technology and prevents upwards of 90% of dust and debris from ever reaching the filter. The CDM system stops dust and debris from constantly cycling up to the filters and holds it at the bottom of the tank until discarded.

OSHA Silica Rule Compliant

All Pulse-Bac vacuums are compliant with OSHA Silica Standard (Crystalline Silica Standard for Construction under 29 CFR 1926.1153). In fact, even our original Pulse-Bac Vacuums from 15 years ago comply with requirements set forth in Table 1 of the Standard.

Designed & Built in America

The American Spirit is unstoppable and unrelenting. When you invest in a Pulse-Bac vacuum you not only get the most advanced, best working vacuum available today, but a piece of that spirit, helping employ hard-working Americans all over this country.

Pulse-Bac is an American owned, American operated company. All of the design and assembly work on every Pulse-Bac vacuum happens in our Tulsa, Oklahoma plant.

Lifetime Service & Support

Pulse-Bac vacuums are famous for their longevity and reliability. However even the best built machine needs maintenance from time to time, especially in the tough conditions where Pulse-Bac vacuums are used.

That's why all Pulse-Bac vacuums include FREE Lifetime Service & Support. This covers the cost of in-house labor and provides free phone or internet support for life. Coverage starts the moment the vacuum leaves the factory and continues for the lifetime of the machine, no matter how many owners it may have.

What is covered: the cost of labor for service provided by a Pulse-Bac factory service technician, and over-the-phone or other remote support (email, FaceTime or chat).

What is not covered: the cost of shipping, or the cost of parts when the unit is out of warranty. Coverage does not include phone carrier charges or reimbursement of other expenses unless outlined in this agreement.

HEPA Filtration You Can Depend On

Each of our patented 5 Point filters is individually serialized & tested to ensure they meet the US Government 99.97% @ .3 micron HEPA Standard required by OSHA, EPA & NIOSH regulations.

Models with Dual Stage Filtration have an additional filter on the motor exhaust to add an extra layer of protection. These models are an excellent choice when working with more hazardous materials like lead paint or asbestos.

All filters are individually tested to IEST RP CC007.3.
