Machine Description
The BDC-SLURRY PRO is an electrically powered slurry vacuum. This 120V single phase slurry vacuum comes with two
powerful 1200W motors and .5HP return pump enabling vacuuming and pumping simultaneously. The BDC-SLURRY PRO uses a
32” floor sweeper to vacuum slurry into its 32-gallon storage container. Designed to meet OSHA silica dust compliance standards,
while providing 44ft2 of hydrophobic filtration – 99% at 0.5 microns. The BDC-SLURRY PRO is designed to be the best solution
for all slurry control needs, with removal and disposal all in one unit. The BDC-SLURRY PRO produces up to 200 CFM, strong
enough to leave the floor clean of slurry in one pass. The BDC-SLURRY PRO will speed up production by having an easier and
more reliable way to remove slurry off of a concrete surface. It can be used for wet applications only.

Warning!
Make sure that the surface to be treated does not contain dangerous materials such as:
-
combustible or explosive dusts or substances.
-
carcinogenic or pathogenic substances.
p)
Secure the work area around the machine in public areas providing an adequate safety distance from the machine. Use a red and
white safety chain and danger sign to enclose the work area.
3.2 Electrical Safety

problems when switching the motor on.
g)
Keep the machine original; The machine is always equipped with an earthed connection, do not change this and always use
earthed cables with an earthed plug.
h)
