ROOTS® RAM-DVJ™ WHISPAIR™ Dry Vacuum Exhauster

Deep Vacuum Performance for Mobile Vacuum Truck Applications

The ROOTS® RAM-DVJ™ WHISPAIR™ Dry Vacuum Exhauster is engineered for vacuum truck applications requiring higher vacuum levels than conventional rotary blowers can achieve.

Featuring an exclusive discharge jet plenum design, the RAM-DVJ introduces cool atmospheric air into the cylinder to control discharge temperatures, allowing continuous operation at vacuum levels up to 27" Hg with a single-stage unit.

  • Continuous operation at high vacuum levels
  • No valves, vanes, or Teflon rings to wear
  • Exclusive cooling design reduces thermal stress
  • Reduced noise and pulsation with WHISPAIR™ technology
  • Heavy-duty construction for demanding mobile applications

 

Delivering up to 2,367 CFM and 27" Hg vacuum, the RAM-DVJ provides the vacuum capability needed for demanding recovery applications where longer hose runs, difficult material pickup, and deeper excavation depths require greater pulling force.

Deep Vacuum Capability

Up to 27" Hg vacuum provides strong pulling power for demanding vacuum truck applications

Exclusive Discharge Jet Plenum Design

Patented cooling technology enables continuous operation at higher vacuum levels while improving reliability

Continuous Operation at High Vacuum Levels

Designed for sustained deep-vacuum performance, the RAM-DVJ maintains reliability where conventional exhausters reach their limits

Reduced Noise and Pulsation

WHISPAIR™ technology delivers quieter, smoother operation while enhancing vacuum system performance

Low-Maintenance Design

A simple, low-wear design helps provide dependable performance and reduced maintenance

Heavy-Duty Construction

Heavy-duty components and splash lubrication help ensure reliable performance and extended service life

  • Vacuums to 27" Hg (914 mbar): The RAM-DVJ provides significantly greater vacuum capability than conventional rotary blowers, helping operators pull material over longer distances, overcome system restrictions, and maintain material flow in challenging recovery applications.
  • Flows to 2,367 CFM (4,022 m³/hr): High airflow supports effective conveying performance by generating the air velocity needed to transport liquids, sludge, debris, and waste through the vacuum system and into the tank.
  • Continuous High Vacuum Operation: Unlike conventional dry vacuum exhausters that are typically limited to approximately 16" Hg, the RAM-DVJ's integral cooling design permits continuous operation at vacuum levels approaching blank-off with a single-stage machine.
  • Simplified Vacuum Technology: With no valves, vanes, or Teflon rings to wear, the RAM-DVJ provides reliable vacuum performance while reducing maintenance concerns associated with other vacuum technologies.

Designed for mobile vacuum truck applications requiring deep vacuum performance, including:

  • Hydro Excavation Trucks
  • Sewer and Septic Cleaning Vehicles
  • Industrial Vacuum Trucks
  • Environmental Services and Cleanup Operations

These applications often require higher vacuum levels to recover material over longer distances, through difficult conveyance paths, or in challenging operating conditions. The RAM-DVJ is engineered specifically to meet these deep vacuum demands.
