Mechanical Room

The mechanical room is where the vacuum and compressor are located. These vital pieces of equipment are often referred to as the "heart and lungs" of the dental office.

Investing in high quality equipment for the mechanical room is extremely important when you consider the hassle and expense of a potential equipment failure during a busy day full of patient appointments. It's important to choose a vacuum and compressor that fit your practice today, and can accomodate future practice and staff growth.

Vacuums

Evacuation pumps are an essential piece of equipment for removing material from the operatory. The two configurations include wet and dry; the wet-ring pump being the traditional method, and the dry configuration requiring less maintenance and water savings in the long run.

Compressors

The air compressor is a vital component of the dental practice and is used to evacuate materials, sterilize equipment and to operate hand tools and air syringes. Oil-less and lubricated compressors offer different benefits: lubricated compressors cost less, and oil-less compressors require less frequent maintenance.
