What’s Included in the DentalEZ Bison Preventative Maintenance Kit?
In the modern dental practice, the vacuum system is an often overlooked aspect of the dental practice. It is an essential tool utilized in many procedures, responsible for maintaining a clean, clear, and safe operative environment for both the patient and the clinician. Dental offices used to rely on water-intensive “wet-ring” pumps that, while powerful, were potentially costly. However, the industry has shifted toward a more sustainable solution: dry vacuum technology. By eliminating the need for constant water flow, these systems offer a more eco-friendly profile and significant utility savings without sacrificing performance. But even the best machines require proper maintenance to keep them running smoothly
In this article, we’d like to look at one of these vacuum units, the DentalEZ Bison Dry Vacuum. Specifically, we’ll also focus on the Preventative Maintenance Kit, going over the essential components included for maintenance. These parts are required to keep your machine operating at its best for years to come.
What is a Dry Vacuum?
A dry vacuum is a positive displacement machine that creates a vacuum that’s utilized in a variety of procedures. Many kind of vacuum pumps like these exist. But dry vacuums for medical use make a very important distinction. Because these machines are “dry,” they can’t have liquids flowing directly into the motor. To solve this, the system pulls everything through a separation tank first. This tank acts like a filter, spinning out liquids and debris so that only clean, dry air reaches the pump. This setup provides strong, steady suction that doesn’t weaken, even when multiple dentists in the same building are working at once.
The “heart” of this machine is the pump, which typically uses a high-speed mechanical design like a rotary vane or a blower. These pumps are built to be extremely durable and are often air-cooled to prevent overheating during a long day of back-to-back appointments. Because they move air so efficiently, they provide the consistent power needed for modern dental tools like the high-volume evacuators used in daily procedures.
A Brief Look at the Bison
The DentalEZ Bison Dry Vacuum is a compact power-unit for your practice’s vacuum needs. It comes in 4 models available to select from with each one being made for a variety of users. These models range from 4-10 users to connect multiple high-volume evacuators (HVEs) to.
The Bison Dry Vacuum utilizes Rotary Vane pump technology in its daily operation. These lubricated pumps are engineered to outlast non-lubricated systems and ensure that vacuum performance remains consistent even as more high-volume evacuators (HVEs) are opened. The system is entirely water-free and only requires maintenance once a year. And the Bulldog is backed by an exclusive 10-year, no-wear-out pump warranty.
However, while minimal, maintenance is still crucial to maintaining the longevity of your unit. So let’s look at what’s included in your preventative maintenance kit.
