Introducing the skyVac® Mighty Atom with cyclonic side entry port. 

As a customer favourite, we wanted to thoroughly challenge and test our NEW skyVac® 1,600Watt Mighty Atom with cyclonic side entry port, with gutter cleaning professionals, before adding it to our gutter vacuum line up.  Well, after months of field trials, miles of clogged gutters, sludge, leaves and challenging clumps, we’re proud to announce that the skyVac® Mighty Atom gutter vacuum system, with cyclonic side entry port, rose to the challenge.  So, what did the professionals have to say about it?

“I’ve been working with the skyVac® Atom for a number of years.  A powerful little gutter clearing vacuum that fits neatly in the van and has been a great little earner for my business.  It just gets the job done.

I’ve tested two different set ups with the cyclonic side entrance.  

Firstly, I simply switched drums over, from the front to side entry port, but keeping my existing Atom 38mm flexi hose and carbon fibre 44mm push fit poles.  I noticed a difference in suction right away, and I was getting through projects about 20% faster than I would with the previous set up and with no blockages.  

Secondly, I used the side entry drum with the new 50mm Wire reinforced suction hose, and the Elite 50mm poles.  What a game changer!   It powers through gutter jobs.  I’d say it was about 40% faster than the original set up and with no blockages, not even with pine needles. 

The Elite lightweight poles with the Vac release cuff are just so much easier to work with and give you more control. The telescopic poles has an increased diameter, which means you aren’t having to chop debris up as much, so less strain on the arms!

The cyclonic side entry just gets jobs done faster! I was able to provide professional gutter cleaning services and great customer service. Josh Courtney:  Courtney’s Exterior Cleaning & Property Maintenance Ltd. 

So, there you have it!  All the same great features that you love about the skyVac® Atom, but with improved performance, and upgrades, for an even better user experience. 

Quite simply put, the skyVac® Mighty Atom is better, faster, and easier, so, let us explain why. 

What’s the benefit of having a cyclonic inlet / side entry port on a gutter vacuum as opposed to a front entry port?

With a side entry port, gutter debris entering the system, is propelled around the drum walls in a circular motion, spiralling around and down into the base of the drum.  So, debris is evenly dispersed throughout the drum, rather than concentrated in one area.  It’s a bit like a high velocity helter-skelter for gutter clutter!

There are two main benefits of a cyclonic inlet on a gutter Vacuum.

• 1) Eliminates blockages.
• 2) Maximise drum space. 

What’s the performance difference between the front entry and cyclonic side entry skyVac® Atom. 

Our bestselling front entry model delivers, 3,800 LPM air flow along with 110 Inch Water lift.  Making the inlet port larger, from 38mm to 50mm, allows more air to pulled into the vacuum by the motor, resulting in more power.  Debris in guttering and downpipes is sucked faster into the system, making gutter cleaning projects even quicker to complete.   

And, it just keeps getting better...  

As a customer favourite we wanted to offer a range of pole, neck and tool options, to appeal to the infrequent and the hardcore Atom users.  We are also now offering NEW 50mm Clamped Carbon Fibre Suction poles.  These light-weight, high reach poles, can be used with the skyscraper (sold seperately), for the option to offer roof scraping as an additional service.

• NEW cyclonic Side Entry Vac port: – to reduce blockages and maximise drum capacity. 
• NEW longer 5 metre 50mm Wire Reinforced Vacuum hose: - an upgrade in length and width from the current 4.5 metre and 38 mm width flexi hose.  The smoother, broader profile allows more air and debris to speed through the hose.  With an integral wired framework, the hose So, it’s easier to move about without the risk of kinks and gets the job done faster.
