The EDCO Vortex 200 (ED33125HCONK) is a 200 CFM HEPA 2.0 dust extraction vacuum engineered to attach to EDCO concrete grinders, scarifiers, scabblers, and hardscape and masonry saws for OSHA-compliant silica dust capture at the point of generation. The HEPA filtration captures 99.97 percent of particulates at 0.3 microns, and the included MicroClean pre-filter extends the HEPA media life. For concrete contractors, restoration crews, and rental fleets, this is the dust-control side of the OSHA Table 1 compliance package.
Built for

- Restoration and remediation crews capturing fine particulate at the source
- Rental fleet operators offering dust-controlled grinder packages to subcontractors
- Hardscape, masonry, and tile saw operations that need HEPA extraction at the cut

Frequently asked questions
How does the Vortex 200 help meet OSHA silica rules?
29 CFR 1926.1153 (the silica standard) requires either Table 1 dust-control methods or full exposure assessment with respiratory protection. A HEPA 2.0 vacuum at 200 CFM connected to a compliant grinder shroud is part of the Table 1 exposure-control compliance package - capture the dust at the tool and the contractor is meeting the engineering-control requirement without ongoing air monitoring.
What does HEPA 2.0 mean compared to a regular HEPA shop vac?
EDCO HEPA 2.0 is a higher-grade filter set rated to 99.97 percent capture at 0.3 microns and validated for the silica use case. A budget shop-vac with 'HEPA-style' filtration does not test to the same standard and will not satisfy a competent-person silica audit on a concrete site.
Will the Vortex 200 keep up with a 7-inch handheld grinder?
Yes. 200 CFM is sized for handheld and walk-behind concrete grinder shrouds in the 5 to 9-inch range. For larger ride-on grinders, EDCO sells higher-CFM extractors in the same Vortex line.
How often do the HEPA filters need replacement?
Replacement interval depends on dust load, MicroClean pre-filter maintenance, and operator hours. The MicroClean is the consumable that extends HEPA life - swap it on the manufacturer's schedule and the HEPA media stays effective for far longer than running the unit unprotected.
Does the Vortex 200 work with non-EDCO grinders and saws?
It is engineered around EDCO attachment fittings, but with the right shroud adapter it pairs with most major brands of handheld grinder. Confirm hose-end and shroud compatibility before ordering for a non-EDCO tool.
