55-Gallon Turbine Twin Industrial Dry Vacuum & Blower
The Electric Cleaner Company Turbine Twin 55-Gallon Industrial Vacuum combines a large steel collection barrel, dual turbine motors and both vacuum and blower functionality for suitable dry cleanup in workshops, agricultural operations, barns, manufacturing facilities and other commercial settings. Its 55-gallon capacity helps reduce the frequency of emptying during larger dry-cleanup jobs.
This is a dry vacuum only—not a wet/dry vacuum. Do not use it to collect liquids, hot materials, combustible or explosive dust, hazardous substances or other materials unless the exact equipment and filtration are specifically approved for that application. Always follow the manufacturer's operating instructions.

Vacuum and Blower Functions
For vacuum operation, connect the hose to the designated intake and use the included tools for compatible dry materials. To use the unit as a blower or dryer, the manufacturer directs users to connect a hose to the exhaust port, tighten its clamp and fit the appropriate blower tip or cobweb tube. Switching connections changes the airflow application; it does not convert the machine into a liquid-handling vacuum.
Electric Cleaner Company describes the Turbine Twin as suitable for a range of dry industrial and agricultural applications, including ordinary dirt, workshop debris, wood and metal shavings, and suitable dry material remaining in farming equipment. Confirm the particular material and work environment are safe for this vacuum before use.
What Comes With the 55-Gallon Vacuum?
The manufacturer lists two 15-foot hoses, two large-capacity filters and a standard industrial attachment package. The listed tools include a metal S-wand, 14-inch dust brush, 14-inch rough-floor tool, serrated nozzle, round dusting brush, crevice tool, round blower tip with connector, hose connector and owner's manual. Verify the current included package at the time of ordering.
For additional tools, see the industrial vacuum attachment kit and 15-foot replacement hose. Check fit and included accessories before purchasing duplicates.
Filter Maintenance and Service
The two-stage filtration system uses a felt filter for larger particles and a nylon filter for finer material. Electric Cleaner Company states that both can be hand-washed and must dry completely before being reinstalled. The manufacturer also recommends regular intake and filter inspection, with filter replacement timing depending on use; its general guidance is approximately every 6–12 months.
Motor-brush service requirements depend on usage. The manufacturer's general recommendation is to inspect or replace brushes approximately every 2–3 years under normal conditions. Have the model and serial number available when requesting replacement parts or service; older and newer Turbine Twin models may use different filter sizes.
Manufacturer Warranty and Support
Electric Cleaner Company lists a two-year warranty for qualifying motor defects and a 90-day warranty for other covered parts, subject to its terms and exclusions. Coverage, labor, freight and service requirements depend on the manufacturer's current warranty policy. Confirm the terms supplied with your unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this 55-gallon Turbine Twin pick up water or other liquids?
No. The manufacturer explicitly classifies the Turbine Twin as a dry vacuum only. Its 180-inch water-lift rating describes suction performance, not permission to vacuum liquids.
Does it require a special electrical circuit?
Yes. Electric Cleaner Company specifies a dedicated 20-amp circuit for the U.S. unit. Verify the installation with a qualified electrician when necessary.
Does the vacuum also work as a blower?
Yes. Attach the hose to the exhaust port as directed and fit the proper blower accessory.
Are the supplied filters HEPA-certified?
The manufacturer reports over 99% efficiency at 0.3 microns and describes felt and nylon filters, but does not identify the included filters as HEPA-certified on its product page. Do not assume the unit is approved for hazardous dust collection.
Are the hoses and tools included?
Yes. The manufacturer lists two 15-foot hoses and a standard industrial tool package. Confirm the contents of the model being quoted.
