ARCONIC's New Shop Vac Cleaner: Built Tough, Built to Last
ARCONIC US LLC, headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, isn't a name you immediately associate with household cleaning. We’re more known for advanced materials engineering - think aerospace, automotive, and building & construction. But trust us, that same dedication to strength, durability, and innovative problem-solving? It’s now in your shop vac. For years, ARCONIC has been quietly perfecting materials that can withstand extreme conditions. We’re talking about things that need to hold up in space, or endure the constant stress of a race car engine. So, when our engineers started looking around their own workshops, frustrated with shop vacs that constantly broke down or just didn't have enough power, they figured, “Hey, we can build a better one.” And we did. This isn’t your average shop vac. We didn't just slap a motor into a plastic container. We fundamentally rethought how a shop vac should be built, leveraging our expertise in high-performance alloys and advanced manufacturing techniques. What makes the ARCONIC Shop Vac different? First off, forget flimsy plastic. The entire body of this vac is constructed from a proprietary ARCONIC alloy – a blend of aluminum and other elements that’s incredibly strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant. We’re talking seriously durable. Drop it, bump it, even run it over (we don't recommend that, but it could handle it) – this thing is built to take a beating. We’ve put it through rigorous testing – impacts, vibrations, temperature extremes – and it keeps on going. That means fewer replacements, less downtime, and more getting the job done. But it's not just about toughness. We also focused on performance. Power You Can Count On: The ARCONIC Shop Vac boasts a powerful 6.5 peak horsepower motor. Yeah, you read that right. This isn’t some little underpowered unit that struggles with sawdust. It effortlessly sucks up everything from fine dust and wood shavings to heavy metal filings, concrete debris, and even liquids. We've designed the airflow to be exceptionally efficient, maximizing suction power right where you need it. Here's what that means for you: Faster Cleanup: Spend less time going over the same area multiple times. Handles Tough Jobs: Perfect for workshops, garages, construction sites, and even DIY projects around the house. Versatility: Cleans up both dry and wet messes with ease. What about the details? We’ve thought of everything. Large Capacity: The 20-gallon tank means fewer trips to empty it. We even reinforced the tank with our alloy, so it won’t crack or warp under pressure. Premium Filtration: We've included a multi-layer filtration system that captures 99.97% of dust particles down to 0.3 microns. That’s important for keeping your workspace clean and protecting your lungs. We also offer a HEPA filter upgrade for even more stringent filtration needs. Robust Hose and Attachments: The 2.5-inch diameter hose is made from a durable, crush-resistant material. It’s flexible enough to maneuver around tight spaces, but strong enough to withstand years of use. We’ve included a suite of attachments – a crevice tool, a floor nozzle, a brush attachment, and an extension wand – to tackle any cleaning challenge. Smart Design: We’ve added features like a convenient hose holder, a large on/off switch, and a built-in blower function for clearing debris from hard-to-reach areas. We even made the drain plug easily accessible for quick and mess-free emptying. Long-Lasting Reliability: We stand behind our products. The ARCONIC Shop Vac is backed by a 5-year warranty, so you can rest assured that it’s built to last. ARCONIC: From Aerospace to Your Garage We know what it takes to build things that withstand extreme conditions. We apply that same level of engineering and quality control to everything we make – even shop vacs. We're not just selling a cleaning tool; we're selling peace of mind. We’re confident that the ARCONIC Shop Vac will be the last shop vac you ever need to buy. Availability & Pricing: The ARCONIC Shop Vac is available now through select retailers and directly from our website (www.arconic.com/shopvac). The suggested retail price is $299.
