TRU-VAC TV-22 Dual Dry vacuum
the TV-22 brings dependable, high-capacity suction to a busy dental practice without the noise, moisture headaches, or maintenance drag of older vacuum designs. Built for 6-12 simultaneous operators, it delivers consistent suction at the chair from the first patient of the day to the last.
Key Features
- 3.5 HP motor rated for long duty cycles
- 150 CFM airflow at 64 dB operating noise
- Gravity-drain tank empties automatically when the unit powers off
- Replaceable filter (RMC-10, 10-micron)
- Supports 6-12 users with no noticeable suction loss
Key Selling Points
- 10-year warranty backs the whole system
- Quiet enough to run near patient areas without disturbing the waiting room
- Straightforward quarterly filter service keeps downtime minimal
- Redundant design keeps the practice running if one side needs service
What Makes This Unique
the TV-22 is engineered around a single moving part per motor, which is the main reason these systems run for years with only routine filter changes — there is far less to wear out than in multi-stage pump designs.
