Powr-Flite 20-Gallon Dual-Motor Commercial Wet/Dry Vacuum – 192 CFM, 100″ Water Lift

PF57 / PF58 Dual-Motor Wet/Dry Vacuum — 192 CFM for Industrial Recovery in 20-Gallon Tank

The Powr-Flite PF57 (stainless steel) and PF58 (polyethylene) are dual-motor 20-gallon wet/dry vacuums delivering 192 CFM and 80″ water lift from two 1,200W / 1.6 HP motors. Compared to the single-motor PF55/PF56 at 114 CFM, the dual-motor configuration handles heavier debris loads, longer hose runs, and demanding industrial recovery jobs without suction drop. Both include 1.5″ x 10″ swivel hose, 2-piece wand, full tool kit, and 2-stage filtration.

PF57 / PF58 Dual-Motor Performance and Tank Configuration

The dual-motor configuration is the deciding factor: two 1.6 HP motors in tandem push 192 CFM versus 114 CFM on the single-motor units, and the increased airflow maintains performance through longer hose runs and heavier material.

• Two 1,200W / 1.6 HP motors, 192 CFM total airflow — 68% more airflow than single-motor models; pulls material through longer hose runs without the suction drop that limits single-motor units on extended reach jobs
• 80″ water lift — lower than the single-motor models’ 100″ due to dual-motor configuration; optimized for high-volume airflow over maximum static suction
• 20-gallon tank in stainless (PF57, 78 lbs) or poly (PF58, 62 lbs) — stainless for corrosive fluid recovery; poly for general industrial use where lower weight matters on multi-operator jobs
• Drain systems: tip-and-pour (PF57) vs. drain hose (PF58) — poly model drains without lifting a 60+ lb tank; stainless tips to drain into a floor drain or collection container
• 1.5″ hose with swivel connector — wide bore resists clogging on heavy material; 360-degree swivel at tank connection eliminates kinking on directional work
• Front-mount squeegee available (FM200 / FM200H) — optional add-on for wide-area floor water pickup that outpaces wand recovery on flat surfaces

PF57 / PF58 Applications and Environments

Manufacturing and industrial facilities with heavy material handling use the dual-motor models for machine coolant, cutting fluid, and metal chip recovery where single-motor units lose performance mid-job. Commercial laundry and food processing operations with large-volume wash-down recovery programs run these as the primary wet recovery unit for their 20-gallon capacity and high airflow. Restoration contractors handling large commercial water damage events use the PF57 stainless for sanitizable recovery in situations requiring documented cleaning protocols. Construction contractors on concrete grinding, surface preparation, and renovation projects use the 192 CFM airflow for maintaining recovery rates through 10-ft-plus hose extensions.
