Patz V800 IntelliChain Vacuum
The Patz V800 IntelliChain Vacuum leads the list on automation and smart controls, using sensors and a chain-driven design to minimize clogging and tune suction dynamically compared with more mechanically focused units such as the Hydra-Ram and Houle. While it carries a premium over basic models, the precise control reduces wasted energy and material handling losses, delivering measurable operating-cost savings in monitored facilities.
Smart automation — brainy hose
Chain-driven reliability — steady-as-rock
