Guys

The machine is here already- from Cornwall.
I have a couple of these vacs to fit in an old Eclipse. I tried on clamped in the vice in the workshop and it blew most of the things off the shelf above the bench.

Hi Ian

I for one missed you , hope you are well,

Trevor when you have fitted them to various machines can you let us know if it is feasible on older models

Now back to reality  

There is currently no single vac that will replace two performance wise ...

If hes talking about the Ametek 6.6      ... look at the figures


A single  6.6 has 132" water lift and 138 CFM


Two standard 5.7 lamb 3 stages in parallel has 140 " water lift and at least 200 CFM .

Im so glad we have some one who actutallllly knows what people are talking about.

This could be a new monster, mutant vac motor.

Almost like a mini TM blower.

Could have a motor the size of a top line rotary of about 3hp.

Then again, maybe not......

Would be great to see pics of your Eclipse 6.6 whens its finished
How will you attach the stack hose to the motor ?, tube or manifold ?

If you had space you could incorporate the jag silencer also ...
its available here ...

or you could build one ...

I have only laid the motors in the tray to see if they will fit. Pre Christmas rush has  stopped work on it so far. I will probably use a silencer/manifold.
I note they us 1/2" flex to connect up, I will probably use two hoses to the tank.
The pump has been moved so all the pipework and regulator will be resited. This will stop the regulator catching on steps when it stuck out the back.
The 3 motors pulled around 10" same as the 6.6s so I hope the tank does not collapse!

You mean 10 HG ?  so the eclipse was a parallel triple vac ?  with three stage motors ?...
  why do you think the tank could collapse
