Roofing applications

Industrial Vacuum Equipment Corporation’s first vacuum ever manufactured was for a customer that was looking for a better way to get gravel off flat commercial roofs. With help from several roofing contractors, we developed our first roof vacuum, the Hurricane 655. Since that time, the Hurricane™ has become the roofing contractor’s choice for a high quality, high production, low maintenance, affordable roof vacuum. |

Industrial Vacuum’s Hurricane™ trailer mounted models 600E, 655, and 755 are the three models that work best for this application. All three units provide 6.200 m3/h vacuum airflow, the 600E and 655 are 126 kW (170 HP) diesels, the 755 has more powerful 166 kW (225 HP) turbo charged diesel. All three units can vacuum pea gravel or 50-80 mm river rock (ballast) up to 300 meters. The 755 pulls harder at those longer distances. |
