JohnDow Industries, known for its extensive line of Portable Fluid Evacuation products, has launched its patented Centralized Fluid Evacuation System.
“Simplicity was at the heart of our design,” said Jack Blackburn Jr., vice president of manufacturing and engineering. “We engineered every detail to make the evacuation process intuitive and effortless for technicians. On top of that, customers experience a well-planned and efficient service letting technicians focus on the customer rather than equipment.”
Built directly into the service facility, the JohnDow Centralized Fluid Evacuation System redefines how shops perform topside oil changes. With dedicated evacuation access at every bay, this Centralized Evacuation System provides what JohnDow called a cleaner and safer work environment, faster service turnaround, and higher customer satisfaction.
Key advantages, according to JohnDow, include:
Simple, effortless operation for technicians
Permanently installed with direct lines to the waste-oil tank
Streamlined workflow and faster bay turnover
Reduced warranty claims related to skid plates and drain plugs
Cleaner, quieter, and more organized environment
No compressor required means reduced noise, wear, and maintenance
Minimizes equipment movement and bay clutter
Engineered for high-volume, multi-bay operations, JohnDow said this centralized design delivers lasting performance in speed, consistency, and organization.
“Traditional oil change methods drive up costs in ways many shops may not even see: from wasted labor and damaged components to safety risks impacting both technicians and customers,” said Robert Christy, president of JohnDow Industries. “At JohnDow, we’ve built our reputation on advancing the way shops handle fluids. From our industry-leading used oil drains to our next-generation centralized evacuation systems, we’re continually raising the standard for what clean, fast, professional-grade service equipment should deliver.”
