BACOENG Products

The BACOENG 1.5 Gallon Vacuum Chamber Kit is engineered for DIY enthusiasts, wood turners, and craftspeople who require dependable bubble-free castings. Whether you work with epoxy resin art, silicone mold making, or plastisol for soft fishing lures, air pockets can easily ruin a project. This kit bundles a dedicated 3.6 CFM single-stage vacuum pump with a heavy-duty stainless steel pot, providing an out-of-the-box solution for home workshops and small studios.

A standout feature of this degassing kit is its tempered glass lid. Unlike cheaper acrylic alternatives that degrade, craze, or crack when exposed to heat or harsh chemical compounds like Cactus Juice and acetone, tempered glass remains perfectly clear and structurally sound. With 92 percent optical clarity, it allows users to closely monitor the bubble expansion and adjust the valve accordingly to prevent overflow during rapid degassing cycles.

In terms of performance, the integrated copper motor inside the 3.6 CFM pump achieves deep vacuum levels down to -29.92 inHg in short order. The heavy silicone gasket seats firmly in the pot groove, creating an immediate seal as soon as vacuum pressure is applied. The included 5-foot reinforced hose connects securely via standard 1/4 inch SAE fittings, while the glycerin-damped gauge provides clear and stable pressure readings throughout the process.

Like most rotary vane vacuum pumps, regular maintenance is necessary to ensure long-term durability. Users should expect to change the pump oil frequently, especially after degassing moisture-heavy materials or alcohol-based solutions. Operating the pump for extended periods may also generate light oil vapor, making good room ventilation advisable during heavy use.

Overall, the BACOENG 1.5 Gallon Vacuum Chamber Kit provides exceptional utility and build quality for its class. The inclusion of a chemical-resistant glass lid makes it one of the safest and most reliable entry points for stabilizing wood blanks, pouring silicone molds, and casting crystal-clear epoxies.

The BACOENG 5.3-Gallon Ash Vacuum is engineered specifically for homeowners, pellet stove operators, and outdoor cooking enthusiasts who need a reliable, dust-free method to clean out wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, and BBQ grills. Standard household vacuums are ill-equipped to handle fine ash and can easily blow dust back into the air or ruin internal motors. This unit solves that problem with specialized heat-resistant components and industrial-grade filtration.

Powered by a 1200-watt, 10-Amp motor with built-in thermal protection, this vacuum produces substantial suction power to lift dense ash deposits quickly. Its dual-stage filtration system pairs a washable, fire-retardant cloth pre-filter with a high-efficiency HEPA filter. This design ensures that microscopic ash particles are trapped inside the 5.3-gallon metal canister rather than recirculating into your living room air. It is rated to safely vacuum warm ash up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, offering practical flexibility during seasonal cleanouts.

In terms of usability and build quality, BACOENG equipped the vacuum with a metal-lined flexible hose, an aluminum suction wand, and a durable steel canister. Movement is seamless thanks to three smooth-swiveling caster wheels paired with a 15-foot power cord and a 5-foot hose. A mechanical visual indicator on top of the canister turns red when the collection chamber reaches capacity, alerting you to empty it before suction drops noticeably.

While the vacuum excels at routine ash removal, it does have a few limitations. It cannot be used with glowing embers or hot ash above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning fires must be completely extinguished and cooled down before cleaning. Additionally, with an operating noise level around 75 dB, it is quite loud during use. However, for safe, mess-free maintenance of pellet stoves, hearths, and fire pits, it provides outstanding performance and reliability.

To ensure optimal suction and extend motor longevity, always verify that your fire pit, stove, or grill ash has cooled below 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) before beginning. Never vacuum live embers or red-hot coals, as this can damage internal seals and the filtration elements.

Regular maintenance of the dual-stage filtration system is critical for peak airflow. After each heavy cleanout, tap out excess dust from the fire-retardant cloth filter and rinse it under cold water when necessary. Allow both the cloth filter and HEPA filter to air-dry completely before reinstalling them into the canister.

Store the vacuum indoors in a dry area. Keep the metal suction hose and aluminum nozzles clear of compacted ash buildup by occasionally flushing the disconnected attachments with water and letting them dry thoroughly.
