This
introduction
is
presented
to
provide
a
basic
description
of
the
function
and
purpose
of the VAC-MATIC™
insulation
vacuum
machine.
The
VAC-MATIC
""is
principally
designed
to
vacuum
damaged
or
contaminated
insulating
materials
generally
used
for
attic
insulation.
The
VAC-MATIC™can
also
be
configured
for
wall
spray
applications
to
return
scrubbed
or
recycled
material
to
a
blowing
machine
for
remix
into
new
material.
Whenever
you
do
a
wall
spray
application
with
the
VAC-MATIC™
machine,
the
insulation
manufacturer’s
instructions
prevail
since
they
guarantee
the
final
results.
When
vacuuming
damaged
material,
the
VAC-MATIC™is
normally
placed
so
that
hose
connected
to
the
inlet
port
can
reach
the
end
of
the
job.
The
damaged
material
can
be
vacuumed
into
a
bag
connected
directly
to
the
outlet
port
or
hose
is
connected
to
the
outlet
port
leading
to
a
dumpster
or
other
form
of
containment.
When
vacuuming
insulation
for
wall
spraying,
the
VAC-MATIC™is
normally
located
half
way
between
the
point
of
application
and
the
blowing
machine.
The
hose
leading
to
the
blowing
machine
is
generally
connected
to
a
filtering
housing
or
material
deflector
that
directs
material
back
into
the
hopper.
The
VAC-MATIC
"machine
is
eguipped
with
an
electric
start
engine
which
can
also
be
pull
started
if
the
battery
is
weak
or
dead.
Its
ergonomic
design
and
pneumatic
tires
make
it
easy
to
maneuver
around
job
sites.
The
compact
design
also
saves
valuable
floor
space
in
the
transportation
vehicle.
The
VAC-MATIC"*is
built
with
a
heavy
duty
housing
and
impeller,
removable
front
cover,
and
replaceable
outlet
port.
