Christianson - Model VacBoss 2056, 4066, and 6068 -Pneumatic Conveyor
The VacBoss is the best choice for commercial or high volume operators. The state-of-the-art technology will raise the standards when comparing quality, construction and performance to the traditional vac. The VacBoss is the only vac to offer an abrasion-free blower warranty. The heavy-duty design will protect your investment over time providing a machine that will last longer and move more grain. Whether you run a large farm, bulk terminal, or provide transfer service, VacBoss delivers the flexibility and performance you need.
Note: Capacity is stated in bushels per hour, is approximate and depends on many variables – please refer to capacity charts for more detailed information.
The VacBoss is the result of our customer’s demands for a truly industrial vac – one that would require less maintenance even when conveying large volumes of dusty, sticky products. VacBoss is the first vac able to withstand the rigorous conveying conditions of commercial bulk handling environments.
With nearly 100% filtering efficiency, the BlowerGard Filtration system increases blower life and protects your VacBoss investment over time. High volume operators no longer have to budget for annual or bi-annual blower rebuilds typically necessary with conventional vacs.
VacBoss is available in self-powered diesel, electric, or tractor-powered PTO versions, there’s a VacBoss model right for you.
Applications/Materials
VacBoss systems handle diverse materials across multiple industries with proven reliability.
VacBoss excels in challenging industrial environments, from sugar processing facilities to cement operations. The system effectively handles materials with difficult properties – sugar that’s abrasive when cold and sticky when warm, fine flyash powder, and dry bulk cement. Our equipment has even been deployed for specialized tasks like train derailment cleanup involving dry bulk materials.
Agricultural OperationsWhether you’re running a family farm or commercial grain operation, VacBoss efficiently moves corn and other grains between storage and transport. From loading trucks directly from steel bins to handling large grain piles in commercial facilities, our systems deliver consistent performance.

Features & Options
Every VacBoss model comes equipped with advanced features designed for maximum performance and reliability.
Standard FeaturesBlowerGard™ Filtration SystemOur exclusive BlowerGard™ Filtration with MicroTube™ filters blocks approximately 99.97% of abrasive dust particles. The integrated VibraShaker™ cleaning system efficiently shakes dust off the filters and back into the bulk material, maintaining consistent performance while extending blower life by up to 35% compared to conventional systems.
Reduces incoming air velocity by up to 60%, decelerating bulk material as it enters the receiving cone. Positioned low on the VacBoss for increased performance, lower power requirements, reduced pipe wear, and easier pipe connections.
- Blow-thru design with extra-large throat for maximum throughput
- Adjustable and replaceable tips for extended equipment life
- Direct-coupled reversible hydraulic drive with overload protection
- Heavy-duty cast iron housing for maximum strength and rigidity
Only VacBoss features the Airlock Truck – a rolling chassis that allows the airlock to roll out on a track for quick inspection and tip adjustment in minutes, without cranes or heavy lifting.
