Vac-Ex Ltd: Mod-Ex System

THE MOD-EX SYSTEM

The Mod-Ex System is designed to meet the high demands of the excavation industry, by providing a solution that is efficient, economical, reliable and easy to maintain.
The chassis mounted unit is ideally suited to any small-medium sized application for the removal of both wet and dry materials and is particularly effective around underground services where there is risk of damaging buried cables.

The Mod-Ex systems can be fitted to a range of support applications:

Mod-Ex C (Wagon chassis) - 2,500 CFM plus
Mod-Ex T (Trailers) - 2,500 CFM plus
Mod-Ex S (Skid) - 2,500 CFM plus
