Vacuum and jetting vehicles for municipal, industrial, and environmental applications

Efficient suction, transport, and disposal of liquids and sludge

Vacuum vehicles play a vital role in the safe removal, transportation, and disposal of liquids, sludge, and contaminated substances. These vehicles are essential for a wide range of sectors including municipal services, industry, construction, environmental protection, and agriculture.

Suction of sludge, oil, and contaminated liquids

Equipped with powerful vacuum pumps, suction vehicles are used for:

  • Emptying septic tanks and wastewater pits

  • Cleaning grease traps in restaurants and industrial facilities

  • Removing sludge from settling basins or production systems 

  • Extracting liquids such as oils, chemicals, or polluted water

Safe transport in airtight tanks

The extracted materials are safely transported in sealed tanks made of stainless steel or aluminum. Depending on the application, these tanks can be operated under vacuum or pressure to ensure secure handling of hazardous or sensitive substances.

Vacuum disposal by pressure, gravity, or tipping mechanism

Disposal of the collected material can be done via:

  • Pressurized discharge systems

  • Gravity-based emptying

  • Hydraulic tipping mechanisms 

Typical disposal locations include wastewater treatment plants, waste collection centers, or temporary storage facilities.

Combined vacuum and jetting units with high-pressure cleaning

Combined suction and jetting vehicles offer a multifunctional solution by integrating vacuum technology with high-pressure water jetting. This combination allows for thorough cleaning and effective removal of obstructions in pipes, tanks, and sewage systems.

Powerful suction of liquids and solids

These units are capable of removing:

  • Sludge, sand, grease, roots, and other debris from pipes, manholes, or tanks

  • Liquids, slurries, and solid materials from treatment plants or industrial facilities

High-pressure water jetting for deep cleaning

With operating pressures typically ranging from 100 to 200 bar, high-pressure jetting is used for:
  • Cleaning pipelines and sewage systems

  • Removing stubborn deposits, blockages, or root intrusions

  • Flushing house connections or industrial piping networks 

Rotary Vane Technology

Water recycling for increased efficiency

Many modern jetting units are equipped with integrated water recycling systems. After filtration, the extracted water is reused for jetting operations. This not only conserves freshwater but also extends the operating time on site, especially beneficial for remote or resource-limited environments.

Typical use cases of vacuum and jetting vehicles

Vacuum and jetting vehicles are designed to handle a wide variety of demanding tasks, including:

  • Cleaning storm drains, sewer lines, and manholes in urban areas

  • Removing industrial residues, oils, or chemical waste in manufacturing environments

  • Flushing pipelines and removing drilling fluids on construction sites 

  • Containing and removing hazardous materials during environmental incidents

  • Emptying slurry pits and digesters in agricultural operations

The benefits of a combined vacuum and jetting system

  • Dual functionality in one vehicle: Suction and jetting combined for greater versatility

  • Efficient workflows: Simultaneous or alternating use of vacuum and high-pressure cleaning

  • Lower operational costs: Reduced need for multiple vehicles and fewer personnel

  • Extended on-site performance: Water recycling reduces refill stops 

  • Flexible deployment: Suitable for municipal, industrial, and construction environments
