Clutch-driven vacuum pumps are high-volume, high-efficiency vacuum pumps that move air in or out of something.

There are a large number of clutch-driven vacuum pumps to cater to the different needs of households, factories, and industries. The surface-spinner model uses force generated by the pressure washer. This would spin two or three spray nozzles at high speed to ensure maximum cleaning on flat surfaces. The detachable pistol-and-lance allows switching from the spinner operation to conventional operation for cleaning corners, including vertical or other difficult spots to reach.

The Fury model is a one-step, clean-and-capture system that pressure-washes, rinses, and recovers the waste stream for effective treatment. This is good for environmentally sensitive and premium jobs. The standard features are high-efficiency vacuum pump and gauge, high-vacuum electric motor shutdown, clutch-driven high-pressure pump, trigger gun control, automatic waste-water pump-out, low-water shutdown, pressure relief valve, waste collection bag filter, high-pressure soap system, emergency stop button, hour meter, and one-year warranty.

The history of vacuum-pump engineering began in 1644, in Magdeburg, Germany, with Otto von Guericks famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment. The rise of vacuum-pump technology has been phenomenal in that vacuum pumps are now used in the production of incandescent light bulbs, freeze-drying of life-saving drugs, distillation of crude oil for gasoline, production of special high-strength metal alloys like titanium used in military aircraft, food packaging of meat products to prolong shelf life, semiconductor manufacturing that led to the computer revolution, etc.

Among other clutch-driven pumps are vacuum truck pumps. These air- and liquid-cooled pressure/vacuum pumps are a boon to operators and owners of vacuum truck and traveler equipment. These are designed for mobile and stationary applications such as septic tank pumping, hazardous liquid-waste removal, oil field service, water hauling, carwash pit, and grease-trap cleaning. There are separate air-cooled models and liquid-cooled ones.

There are clutch-driven pumps for use in industries such as construction, earthmoving, technology, and materials to battery manufacturers, environmental suppliers, road building equipment, welding, aluminum and pipe line supplies to timber harvesting and materials handling.
