The suction hose reel is mounted on top of the storage tank. It is hydraulically operated and designed to lower and retrieve the suction hose from the manhole. The system is capable of providing sufficient vacuum for the suction of debris up to 25m in depth. (Image: Suction hose reel of the "Super 2000" manufactured by Wiedemann & Reichhardt)

Both reels are mounted on the storage tank and are hydraulically operated. The smaller high-pressure hose is used for flushing small channels (laterals, etc.) and for the manual cleaning of surfaces using the hand operated high-pressure spray gun.

Aluminium suction tubes can include additional air vents used to maintain the air volume during deep applications. The damming flaps are used in combination with water reclamation technology to increase the water volume at the suction tube intake, particularly in low flow sewers. The hose guide is used to protect and guide the hose around corners and sharp edges. (Image: Suction tube, radial nozzle, hose guide)

The sludge tank is used for the temporary storage of the collected debris. (Image: Sludge tank of the "Super 2000" made by Wiedemann und Reichhardt)

(Image: HP flushing vehicle - suction hose boom) The 1.2 m long telescopic suction hose boom is centrally mounted on the vehicle, and is capable of rotating 90 degrees to the left and to the right of the back of the vehicle. This allows for the insertion of the suction and high-pressure hose directly into the manhole opening.

(Image: High dump discharge system) Warning: not suitable for the transportation of materials listed under the dangerous goods ordinance! -
Fast discharge
-
Cost effective design
-
Lower overall weight compared to other systems
-
No storage volume loss due to additional discharge equipment e.g. pistons, plungers.
-
The tilted tank allows for easy access during installation, maintenance and repairs
|
|
(Image: Sewer cleaning vehicle discharge system - Hydraulic piston) -
No danger of the piston bursting.
-
Optimum emptying of the sludge material without risk of accident
-
Increase safety due to a uniform piston movement
-
Varying tank displacement
-
The piston stroke reaches the entire length of the tank hence enabling for a full discharge

(Image: Sewer cleaning vehicle discharge system - Auger) (Image: Discharging by auger ) -
On-site discharge
-
No danger to the operating personnel
-
Discharge time is only about 10 minutes longer than other systems
-
No need for trips to the landfill
-
Container disposal can be contracted out.

As there are many types of chassis and powertrains available, their selection is based on the final application of the cleaning vehicle. The cleaning equipment is powered by the vehicle's main engine through an independent gearbox, or by an auxiliary power drive. Criteria for the selection of the chassis according to [KA 4/97]1: -
Cost
-
Weight and power requirements (number of axles, engine power)
-
Application (external dimensions, turning radius)
…
|
|
-
Noise reduction (sound pressure level SPL <80 dB (A)) through the selection of engines with high torque outputs at low engine speeds.
-
Maneuverability can be improved through the use of a steerable leading or trailing axles.
