Draining sewage systems and the cleaning of the pipes are carried out professionally with special machinery.
However, the space is not always adequate for the passage of large instruments or the transport of bulky vehicles. In these cases is important usage of compact sewer cleaning units.
The built-in sewer cleaning machines
The compact sewer and flushing units, also called built-in units, are designed to be installed on small, medium and large commercial vehicles according to different needs.
They have all features of a classic machine for sewer cleaning truck, but with advantage of easy transport and use in confined spaces.
Therefore, they can be used for the following applications:
- Unblocking of pipes
- Drain cleaning
- Pipe cleaning
- Unblocking drains
- Removal of wells
- Surface cleaning
Where compact sewer cleaning units intervene
In open spaces it is easy to intervene with equipment consisting of large capacity tanks, large motors and large hose reels; all transported by a large truck.
Imagine, however, having to carry out a sewage cleaning reaching a manhole in the narrow alleys of the historic center of a small village. Or having to perform the same service among the crowded shelves of a warehouse or among the complex machinery of an industry. Finally, it is even more complicated to have to reach an underground car park, between spiral ramps and hundreds of parked vehicles, all with just a small vehicle equipped with PTC Built-In unit.
The built-in units, therefore, are designed to act precisely in these particular environmental conditions:
- for use in the historic center, for example, they can be mounted on small vans and used with all their applications even in the narrowest streets;
- for use in warehouses or industries, the same units can be set up for transport using a forklift;
- for underground car parks, on the other hand, they can be mounted on a trailer for towed by a car.
The underground vacuum suction units
For underground environments, such as car parks, special combined suction units have been designed, such as the Vortex Combi line by PTC Italiana.
The combined PTC suction units are equipped with high pressure washing pumps (they can reach up to 250 bar), necessary to remove the residues of the fillings without damaging the structural part of the pipes. The water comes out of a nozzle that cleans the inside of the pipes from encrustations, rust and sediments.
In particular, Vortex Combi is a suction unit equipped with a high pressure washing system. Thanks to a plastic water tank with a capacity of 500 liters and a manual HP reel with 50 meters hose, it is able to perform the double function of priming up liquid residues and washing with a high pressure jet. All in a single machine, movable with forks or lifting hooks.
