Rema Dri-Vac Air Vacuums
Rema Dri-Vac air vacuums are used in dry cleaning plants, laundries, and garment finishing operations where dependable vacuum, moisture separation, and long-term service life are required.
This page provides general product information, system types, model reference information, and technical guidance for selecting and supporting Dri-Vac vacuum equipment.
Dri-Vac System Overview
What is a Dri-Vac Vacuum System?
A Dri-Vac vacuum system creates vacuum for presses, finishing tables, and related garment care equipment. These systems are designed to maintain steady suction while helping remove moisture from the air stream during operation.
Complete systems combine a turbine assembly with a condenser tank. The turbine generates airflow, while the tank helps separate and collect moisture before discharge. Different system arrangements are available depending on plant layout, number of presses served, and installation conditions.
Rema Dri-Vac systems are used in dry cleaning plants, commercial laundries, and garment finishing operations where dependable day-to-day vacuum performance is required.
