Vacuum Pumps and Blowers
12 companies listed
Vacuum pumps and blowers generate the suction that pulls excavated material into the debris tank. They are the heart of every hydrovac system and the single biggest factor in digging speed and depth capability.
What to Look For
- CFM (airflow) and inches of mercury (vacuum) ratings matched to your digging needs
- Positive displacement versus centrifugal design and the trade-offs of each
- Oil consumption rate and ease of routine maintenance access
- Noise output levels and compliance with local noise ordinances

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a positive displacement blower and a fan?
PD blowers maintain consistent vacuum at varying airflow rates and handle wet, heavy material well. Fans move higher volume but lose vacuum under load. PD blowers are standard for hydrovac.
How often should a vacuum blower be rebuilt?
Most PD blowers need rebuilding every 5,000-8,000 operating hours. Monitoring oil consumption and bearing temperature helps predict rebuild timing.
