Super Vac’s Battery Fan Now in Full Production

FORT COLLINS, CO.—Super Vac‘s much-anticipated Milwaukee 18″ battery fan is now in full production; the first batch of customer V18-BL orders hit the street in November. Super Vac will release a 16″ version of the Milwaukee fan in January 2020.

The 18″ Milwaukee fan (Model V18-BL), powered by dual M18 REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ batteries, features the same unique 46 lb. design of its DeWalt counterpart—a 180-degree tilt for various attack angles, Super Vac’s StreamShaper guard for flexible setup and an ergonomic handle, plus flat-proof rubber tires, for unrivaled maneuverability. (Super Vac introduced its DeWalt version earlier in the year, Models V16-BD (a 16″ PPV) and V18-BD (an 18″ fan).

Offering a 60-minute runtime (depending on battery selection), the V18-BL produces a 10,230-cfm airflow. The fan can be equipped with optional 120-240V AC shorepower, and a variety of accessories are also available, including a spiral duct, mountain mister, foam adapter, apparatus mount and door bar/hanger.

“We really wanted to build a fan with a trusted battery name that pairs with Super Vac’s dependable history,” Super Vac Owner Roger Weinmeister said. “This is an exciting time for Super Vac and the industry as a whole, and we’re glad to be partnering with some of the best to make these fans a reality. Expect more to come from Super Vac in 2020.”
