Air Techniques VacStar 20 VS20 Dental Vacuum w/ AirStar AS21M Compressor

Air Techniques Dental Utility Suite | VacStar 20 & AirStar AS21M

This integrated mechanical system combines two of the most reliable names in dental utility: the VacStar® 20 wet-ring vacuum and the AirStar® 21M oil-free compressor. Engineered for the 2026 standards of modern dentistry, this "dental mechanical room on a cart" provides high-velocity evacuation and ultra-dry, medical-grade compressed air for up to two simultaneous users.

By mounting the 2021 VacStar unit and the AirStar compressor on a mobile rolling platform, this setup offers unparalleled accessibility for maintenance and flexibility for practices with limited permanent utility space.

Key Performance Features

• VacStar 20 Wet-Ring Vacuum (2021 Model):

  • High-Efficiency Evacuation: Designed to provide consistent, high-volume suction even during heavy procedures.

  • Compact Durability: Features a robust pump designed for long duty cycles with minimal water consumption compared to older-generation wet-ring systems.

  • User Capacity: Specifically rated for up to 2 simultaneous users, ideal for a standard two-operatory practice or a high-volume hygiene wing.

• AirStar 21M Oil-Free Compressor:

  • Ultra-Dry Air: Equipped with a dedicated air dryer and filtration system to eliminate moisture and contaminants, protecting your expensive handpieces and ensuring optimal bonding for restorative materials.

  • 100% Oil-Free: Eliminates the risk of oil aerosols entering the patient's mouth or the air lines, meeting stringent modern healthcare standards.

  • Sound Management: Included AS21 Cover provides acoustic dampening, significantly reducing noise levels in the mechanical room or operatory area.

Technical Specifications

VacStar 20 Vacuum (August 2021)

• REF: VS20 | SN: VS200-21080015

• Electrical: 120VAC (16.0A) or 220VAC (8.0A)

• Configuration: High-volume wet-ring pump with trap canister.

AirStar 21M Compressor (April 2013)

• REF: AS21M | SN: 250568

• Electrical: 115 VAC (15.0A)

• Components: Tank, pressure gauge, regulator, and integrated air dryer/filter.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Reliable Redundancy: Having a combined unit on a mobile platform makes this an ideal emergency backup system. If a primary central vacuum or compressor fails, this unit can be rolled into place and connected to keep the practice running.

• Ease of Maintenance: The open-frame mobile cart allows for 360° access to the dryer, filters, and valves, reducing the time required for routine service and filter changes.

• Advanced Air Chemistry: The AirStar’s membrane dryer technology ensures a pressure dew point that prevents the growth of bacteria in the tank and lines.

• Strategic Procurement: This "Excellent Condition" suite, featuring a late-model (2021) vacuum, provides a turnkey mechanical solution at a significant reduction in capital expenditure compared to buying individual new units.

Ideal Applications

• New Practice Startups: A cost-effective way to equip a 1–2 chair boutique office.

• Satellite Offices/Dental Labs: Providing dedicated suction and air for standalone lab benches or specialty rooms.

• Mobile Dental Clinics: The rolling platform and compact footprint are perfectly suited for van-based or modular dental units.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Excellent Condition.

• Functional Note: The system is physically robust with all gauges, valves, and components intact. The VacStar 20 is a relatively new 2021 unit, showing minimal hours of clinical wear.

• Logistics: Mounted on a heavy-duty mobile rolling platform for immediate deployment.

• Technician Note: As with all dental mechanical equipment, it is recommended that a certified dental service technician verify the vacuum levels and compressor cut-in/cut-out pressures upon installation at your facility.
