Jan. 23, 2026

Chip Vac Exair designed this pneumatic vacuum to clean up debris such as metal, wood or plastic chips. 

What’s new? An upgraded filter bag, announced in December, that better withstands the rigors of industrial environments. Made from a new, singed polyester fabric, the bag is ideal for processes that use equipment like CNCs, mills, lathes and routers. 

Benefits Enhanced filtration, reduced dust release and greater durability. The bag prevents recontamination from dirt and debris.
