Good to know
- Freight reality: this extractor ships LTL, not parcel. A liftgate or forklift is needed at delivery, residential delivery costs more, and the carrier schedules an appointment. Call 817-676-6793 for a freight quote and lead time before you order.
- Pulse cleaning holds airflow through the shift. That is the feature you are actually buying, because a vacuum that fades stops capturing without telling anyone.
- Size the vacuum to the grinder. An extractor matched to hand grinder work will not keep up with a large walk-behind machine.
- Hose size and length matter as much as the machine. Long, undersized or coiled hose throws away the airflow you paid for.
- Stock the consumables. Filters and base plate gaskets are the parts that fail on a job morning, and both are available separately.
About the Pulse-Bac Pro Series 311
The Pulse-Bac Pro Series 311 is a dust extractor for concrete work, and the reason contractors buy Pulse-Bac is the pulse cleaning. Conventional vacuums lose airflow steadily through the day as the filter loads, and the operator either accepts the loss or stops to shut down and clean. Pulse-Bac's system cleans the filter during operation, so the machine holds airflow across a shift instead of fading after the first hour.
That matters because airflow at the shroud is the only thing standing between a concrete grinder and a room full of respirable silica. Capture does not happen at the vacuum, it happens at the tool, and it only happens if the machine behind the hose is still moving air. A vacuum that has quietly dropped half its airflow is worse than useless because everyone assumes it is working.
Match the extractor to the grinder and the hose. A vacuum sized for hand grinder work will not keep up with a large walk-behind machine, and a hose that is too small or too long throws away the airflow you paid for. Tell us what grinder you are running and the shroud and hose sizes you use, and we will confirm the pairing. Filters, gaskets and hose accessories for Pulse-Bac equipment are stocked separately.
On OSHA silica, be clear-eyed. A dust extractor is the equipment component of a control plan, and the outcome depends on the whole system: shroud seal at the tool, hose size and condition, filter condition, how collected dust is emptied, and the work practices your crew actually follows. Twin Coating Supplies does not claim a specific OSHA Table 1 listing for this machine.
Freight: a dust extractor in this class ships LTL, not parcel. A liftgate or a forklift is needed at delivery, residential and limited-access deliveries cost more, and the carrier schedules an appointment. Call 817-676-6793 for a freight quote, lead time and configuration before ordering.
What it is used for
- Dust extraction paired with walk-behind and hand concrete grinders
- Occupied building and interior renovation work
- Coating removal jobs producing heavy fine dust
- Crews standardizing dust control across a fleet of grinders
Questions about this product
What makes the Pulse-Bac Pro Series 311 different from a shop vacuum?
The Pulse-Bac Pro Series 311 is a concrete dust extractor with automatic pulse filter cleaning, meaning it cleans its own filter during operation and holds airflow across a full shift. A shop vacuum loads its filter within minutes on concrete dust and quietly loses most of its capture.
Does the Pro Series 311 make my grinding OSHA silica compliant?
A dust extractor is the equipment part of silica control rather than compliance by itself, because real capture depends on the shroud sealing at the tool, hose size and condition, filter condition, dust handling at disposal and your crew's work practices. Twin Coating Supplies does not claim an OSHA Table 1 listing for this machine.
Will the 311 keep up with my floor grinder?
Matching a dust extractor to a grinder depends on the size of the machine, the shroud and the hose you are running, so a vacuum sized for hand grinder work will not keep pace with a large walk-behind. Call 817-676-6793 with your grinder model and hose sizes and we will confirm the pairing.
How does the Pulse-Bac 311 ship?
The Pulse-Bac Pro Series 311 ships LTL freight rather than by parcel carrier because of its size and weight, so a liftgate or a forklift is required at delivery, the carrier schedules a delivery appointment, and residential or limited-access addresses cost more. Call 817-676-6793 for a freight quote and lead time.
What consumables does this dust extractor need?
The consumables that keep a Pulse-Bac dust extractor performing on concrete work are filters, base plate gaskets and hose, all three of which control the airflow that actually reaches the tool. Twin Coating Supplies stocks Pulse-Bac replacement filters, an 18 inch base plate gasket kit, and 2 inch hose and cuff reducers separately.
How does pulse filter cleaning actually work in the field?
Pulse-Bac's filter cleaning knocks accumulated concrete dust off the filter media while the vacuum is running, so the operator does not have to shut down and shake or tap a filter to recover suction. It extends filter life substantially but does not eliminate filter replacement over time.
