Kamaz sludge pump technical specifications. Sludge suckers

Every owner of a private home or personal plot knows that almost all reservoirs on his property require regular cleaning of silt deposits. Some people prefer to carry out hard and dangerous work and clean wells themselves, cesspools or communications from accumulated garbage, while others use the services of a suction machine.

Today there are many models of sludge suckers with different technical characteristics. Each of them is necessary to achieve certain goals. There are cars with small tanks, approximately 4 cubic meters in volume. However, they are not always suitable for cleaning large or neglected bodies of water.

There are times when it is necessary to clean and transport a fairly large volume of sludge deposits. In this case, preference should be given to one of the most capacious sludge sucking machines with a volume of 10 or 14 m3. And today we will tell you about the most modern and spacious cars.

This is a specialized sludge sucking machine designed to clean tanks that have or still contain water. The hole through which receiving and distributing operations are carried out has a maximum diameter of 100 mm. The total volume of the tanks is 10 m3. It is possible to install additional barrels for clean or process water.

A special partition is provided inside the tanks. Thus, the tank is divided into 2 parts: 1 m3 for clean water and 9 cubic meters for waste. You can also install additional equipment that will significantly speed up or simplify the process of cleaning various reservoirs. Such equipment can be purchased from specialized dealers or rented from various companies. The best solution will hire a team of workers.

Such equipment is transported at the MAZ base. The volume of the tank here is also 10 m3. The machine is designed to treat wells, rainwater collection systems, sewers, sedimentation tanks and treatment facilities. Among other things, the technique can be used for pumping and transporting various non-aggressive liquids for industrial purposes.

KO-530-05 with a volume of 10 m3 has several more advantages over its analogues.

  1. It is possible to install additional barrels for transporting water.
  2. Grooves and fastenings are provided for foreign-made pumps.
  3. The system is capable of independently removing water from the tank, leaving only sludge deposits. This significantly saves time, fuel and money for the customer and contractor.
  4. It is possible to pump out solid sludge (up to 1400 kg/m3)
  5. The tank volume of 10 cubic meters allows you to transport a significant amount of waste and waste less resources.
  6. The maneuverability of the installation itself is also improved here. If in previous models the angle of rotation of the boom designed to control the hose was 240 degrees, here it has become 30 degrees more.

AKN -14

This is the name of a tank with a volume of 14 cubic meters. This is one of the largest and most expensive tanks that is installed on the ISUZU chassis. Thanks to the application modern technologies, this machine has significantly expanded functionality:

  • pumping out cesspools;
  • removal of solid waste;
  • well cleaning;
  • sewer cleaning;
  • cleaning dry closets;
  • basement cleaning and much more.

This is one of the most modern foreign-made sludge suckers. The tank with a volume of 14 cubic meters is one of the largest. Experts advise using such an installation only when analogues cannot cope with the task. The fact is that renting such an installation will be quite expensive, and alternative models much more common in Russia.

Every owner of a private country house or a personal plot on the territory of which wells, cesspools or other artificial or natural reservoirs are located knows that they inevitably silt over time. In this case, it is necessary to clean them and put them in order. Some people prefer to do the entire complex of work manually. It must be said that cleaning a reservoir from silt deposits is truly a difficult task. This is really hard and long work. That is why most people prefer to use the services of a suction pump.

A sludge extractor is a specialized technique that is designed to clean communications, wells, sedimentation tanks, cesspools, and so on using special equipment. Such machines are widely used not only for cleaning and pumping, but also for transporting industrial water for the needs of public utilities. In this article we will tell you about the most common sludge suckers that are installed on the Kamaz chassis.

Each device has its own elements, without which work is simply impossible. Ilosos is no exception. It consists of the following components:

  • a chassis designed to transport the system itself, water, and waste;
  • waste storage tank;
  • a hose through which water and waste are pumped out;
  • pump, with the help of which all receiving and distributing work is carried out;
  • boom and winch for hose control;
  • control panel, on which all the necessary indicators and the control system itself are located;
  • various additional equipment designed to speed up and facilitate the work performed.

As a rule, KAMAZ-based sludge pumps are equipped with fairly large tanks with the ability to install additional water tanks and so on. The large carrying capacity of such a vehicle allows you to pump out and transport a significant amount of waste (up to 10 cubic meters).

There are several types of devices that are used for pumping waste and cleaning sewers, wells, sumps, cesspools, and so on. We will talk about the most common of them.


Let's look at each of them in more detail.

KO-507a

The KO-507a sludge sucker is a fairly modern and efficient installation domestic production, which is mounted on the KAMAZ base. Today, the KO-507a device has become even better, as it is now equipped with an improved Italian-made vacuum pump. The KO-507a sludge sucker has a fairly large tank (7 tons), which is quite enough to clean small and medium-sized reservoirs in a short time. It is KO-507a that has the most powerful vacuum pump, the productivity of which reaches 730 cubic meters per hour. Thanks to it, the tank of the KO-507a vehicle is filled in just 7-10 minutes.

The dimensions of the entire KO-507a unit together with KAMAZ are 8300x2500x3100. The maximum depth from which the KO-507a machine is capable of pumping out waste is 6 m. The total weight is 20.5 tons. This is one of the most common and versatile KAMAZ-based machines from a domestic manufacturer today.

KO-510

The KO-510 sludge sucker based on KAMAZ has a number of distinctive features. The tank here has a special design. It has 2 compartments. The first is intended for storing and transporting water for industrial purposes, suitable for use in the needs of utilities. The second is necessary for storing waste. Thanks to a special system inside the tank, the water that was pumped out along with the sludge is gradually filtered and moved to another compartment. After this, it is pumped out, which allows you to significantly save time, fuel and money.

Another distinctive feature is the control panel. Using a special device, you can remotely control sludge pumping. Operation of such a machine is permitted at temperatures from -20 to +40 degrees Celsius. This installation is ideal for cleaning small bodies of water. Also, thanks to the compartment in which the pumped out water is located, it is possible to clean sewers and reservoirs in hard to reach places using a separate hose and pump that will supply process water under pressure.

Specifications:


Such installations are not found too often on the KAMAZ base. The fact is that such a car has enough high lifting capacity And powerful engine, allowing you to transport much larger loads. To save fuel, businessmen prefer to use such suction pumps based on ZIL.

KO-524

A special feature of this sludge pumping unit is the special design of the tank. The fact is that the tank in this case is completely sealed. This allows the installation to be used for pumping and transporting various inert liquids without the risk of loss. Specifications:

  • maximum working depth up to 6 m;
  • tank capacity – 6.2 m3;
  • pump power 720 cubic meters per hour;
  • tank lift angle – 60;
  • dimensions 7400x2500x3500.

KO-530

Most often, such machines are used on the KAMAZ basis. The fact is that this particular suction pump is equipped with one of the largest waste tanks - 10 cubic meters. It is also possible to install additional tanks for clean or process water. This type of installation can most often be seen on a KAMAZ vehicle, since its transportation requires a large load capacity.

On modern stage The hydrodynamic method is recognized as the most productive method for cleaning pipelines from contamination and deposits deposited on the pipe walls. And for cleaning wells and rainwater collectors, the vacuum method is considered the most effective. It involves the absorption of sediment washed away by water, also called pulp.

The vacuum method is the basis for the operation of sludge sucking machines. They are based on various truck chassis. The main elements, in addition to the chassis, of a modern sludge suction machine are a tank, a vacuum-pressure system that provides pulp suction, a hydraulic system with which sludge is unloaded from the tank, and the opening and closing of the rear cover, as well as a water system.

A winch boom attached to the tank is used to lower and move the suction hose. Depending on the situation, the position of the suction hoses can be automatically changed by the operator, controlling their movement remotely. But the scheme using a winch and boom, which was very popular in the past, is today increasingly being replaced by installing a cassette-drum on top of the tank, which contains a wound hose. also in last years A widely used design is in which the suction hose is wound on a drum mounted either vertically or horizontally near the rear cover of the tank. The new schemes are less cumbersome, and most importantly, they make it possible to smoothly connect the suction hose to the tank. This makes it easier to hit hard and large pieces of sludge without getting stuck.

The working parts of the suction pump are controlled, as a rule, using a pneumatic system. Regulation and control of loading are carried out in accordance with the pressure gauge readings using a special 4-way valve. Available electrical system sludge level control. If the specified loading volume is exceeded, further filling of the tank is automatically stopped.

To clean the air used by the vacuum system, there are special air filters, and there is also a moisture separation system. In addition to these basic components, it is possible to install various additional devices, expanding the capabilities of the machine. In particular, they install systems that purify sludge water before it can be used in technical purposes.

The main difference between sludge vacuum machines and machines designed for the collection and removal of liquid waste is that the back cover of the sludge pump can be opened and hermetically closed. The tank is unloaded by tipping it over. For better and faster unloading, some models use vibration devices. This approach is used, in particular, in the machines of the flagship of the domestic municipal engineering industry - the Arzamas plant "Kommash". Specialists from the Mtsensk plant municipal vehicles was chosen as a more rational technology for hydraulic flushing with water jets supplied under high pressure to the tank.

As a rule, sludge suckers transport contaminants with a moisture content of about 20% over short distances. In the tank, the pumped out sludge deposits are dewatered during transportation and accumulate in the rear part, and the exfoliated moisture is collected in the front part of the tank. For unloading, a piston can be mounted inside the tank, which pushes sludge masses through an automatically opening rear cover. This unloading cleans the inside of the tank as much as possible, and the unloading process itself is significantly accelerated.

Inside the tank is divided by a partition into 2 compartments. The part closer to the cabin is intended for storing clean water, and the second compartment is for pumped out sludge and sludge water. Clean water is used to liquefy the sludge in the well, if required, as well as to wash off the slurry from the intake hose and other parts of the machine.

The main trends in increasing the productivity of sludge sucking machines are to increase the volume of sucked sludge deposits through the use of larger tanks. Another direction for increasing the efficiency of sludge pumping equipment is the development of more efficient vacuum pumps, which would increase the depth of sludge collection and also reduce the time of filling the tank. Today, utility companies use sludge sucking machines with tank volumes from 3.25 to 7.0 cubic meters.

Who sets the tone in the industry?

The leading enterprise among domestic specialized manufacturers of suction machines is the Arzamas plant "Kommash". This company controls about 96% of the domestic sludge sucker market. The plant produces 7 models of the KO series with tanks with a capacity of 3.35 to 7 m 3 and a pulp collection depth of up to 8 m. A powerful vacuum pump with a capacity of 730 m 3 /h fills the tank in 3–7 minutes.

The popularity of Arzamas cars is determined not only good quality, but also at a low price, as well as a reliable and simple design. Actually, focusing on the last two indicators is a priority for the management of the enterprise.

The Mtsensk Kommash plant, one of the oldest in the industry, also focuses on reliable but inexpensive design solutions. Based on the experience of 60 years of practice, 5 models of KO series sludge extractors with tanks with a volume of 7 to 10 m 3 are produced here. The company installs sludge suction equipment on KamAZ and MAZ chassis, but in agreement with customers, installation schemes on Isuzu, Volvo, Hyundai, Iveco, Man, Ford, Dongfeng chassis have been developed and are used.

Mtsensk cars are distinguished by high-quality painting of all components and parts, neat and reliable welded joints. Innovative rubber sealing profiles perfectly seal the tank, and the material of the suction hose is designed to long years reliable operation.

One of the most modern Russian enterprises in the municipal sector, the TverKomMash plant, was created in 2009. Today it produces more than 20 models of various municipal equipment, and among them are 6 models of sludge suction machines on various chassis: KamAZ-53605, KamAZ-65115 , KamAZ-43118, MAZ-6312A9, Ford Cargo 1826, Ford Cargo 3535.

The most powerful sludge sucker in the TverKomMash line is the TKM-630. It is assembled on the basis of the three-axle MAZ-6312A9. This chassis has a comfortable cabin with a “sleeping bag”. The volume of the tank is 12 m 3 for sludge and 1 m 3 for the sludge sediment washout system. The suction pump uses a vacuum pump with a capacity of 4100 m 3 /h, which makes this machine the most powerful in its class among domestic manufacturers. This pump is a maintenance-free type pump designed for continuous operation. For the operator’s convenience, a drum with a 15 m long suction hose is located on the rear cover of the tank. This drum has a hydraulic drive (winding and unwinding), which greatly facilitates the operator’s work.

Thus, the TKM-670 sludge extractor uses the Ford Cargo 3535D chassis as its base.
The steel tank is made of a 6 mm thick sheet, with partitions - breakwaters - welded inside it. The internal part is coated as standard with a layer of zinc-containing substance, which reliably protects the surface from corrosion. By agreement with the customer, the interior of the tank can be made of stainless steel. Another option for anti-corrosion protection involves the application of a polymer anti-corrosion wear-resistant coating, which increases the service life of the tank to 15 years.

To load sludge on TverKomMash equipment, they use various options vacuum pumps: Italian Battioni air-cooled, capacity from 650.4 to 840 m 3 /h. At the request of customers, it is possible to equip it with MORO or Jurop vacuum pumps with a capacity of up to 1500 m 3 /h. The machines are optionally available with a sludge washing system.

The customer can choose to unload the tank either using the dump principle - by lifting the tank using a hydraulic cylinder rod, or by creating excess pressure in the tank.

Sludge sucking equipment has reliable system safety, consisting of three safety valves, one of which is installed on the tank, and two in the pump group, as well as mechanical locks of the rear bottom and the tank in the raised position.

The Moscow enterprise Dorkomtekhnika produces 3 models of suction pumps. The productivity and volume of the tanks of these machines are selected in such a way that they will satisfy the requirements of any buyer of this equipment. Sludge extractors of the DKT series are suitable for both utility services of small enterprises and municipal services responsible for cleaning city sewer networks, since Dorkomtekhnika produces machines with tanks with a volume of 3.6–10.4 m 3. The company uses sludge sucking equipment and vacuum pumps from the famous Italian company Jurop to complete its machines.

For more than 55 years, JSC “Zavod Start” from the Kurgan region has been producing tanks for transporting food products. Today, the plant's tank trucks are supplied to Russian army and the armies of countries friendly to us, which already speaks of highest quality products. As part of expanding the range, the plant recently launched the production of two models of modern sludge pumps based on KamAZ trucks, with tanks with a volume of 8 and 15 m3.

The operator controls the filling of the tank and supply of the hose remotely, from a remote control panel. The tank is unloaded by raising the tank at an angle of 60°. The compressor module is equipped with Italian equipment - a Jurop PR-150 hydraulic vacuum compressor and a water pump high pressure Udor GC50/12, as well as a hydraulic tank and oil separator.

"Imported" competitors

Specialized sludge sucking machines are supplied to our market by the well-known German company Kroll Fahrzeugbau-Umwelttechnik GmbH. Kroll sludge suckers are sold by the official representative of the company, the Moscow company Olmax.

To eliminate sludge deposits, clean sedimentation tanks and wells, Kroll offers a model that is based on the Man or Mercedes chassis. The tank capacity is 18 m3, there is also a tank with a volume of about 1 m3 for clean water. However, the manufacturer is ready to fulfill any customer wishes, and the volume of the tank may be different.

The suction pump uses a vacuum pump with a capacity of 3000 m 3 /h. When unloading, the back cover opens upward using a hydraulic cylinder and is locked in the transport state with a pneumatically controlled central lock. Unloading occurs by gravity, due to the tilting of the tank by the hydraulic cylinder rod. At the buyer's request, Kroll can also install a pneumatic piston unloading system.

In addition, Kroll offers a lot of additional equipment and various systems. This includes a system for draining residual water, a tray with tools, a water level alarm, additional hoses, as well as a spray gun for washing away deposits, the machine pump creates a jet pressure of up to 150 MPa, etc.

The Western market offers a wide range of sewer cleaning machines. These are mainly combined machines, since their use is much cheaper than the use of specialized sludge sucking and sewer washing machines for the same work. However for large volumes work, a “division of labor” may be necessary. The Kaiser Aquastar suction machine is an extremely versatile municipal equipment.

The machine from the Austrian company Kaiser is sold in Russia by PSM-Techno LLC from Krasnodar. Kaiser Aquastar is equipped with a Kaiser vacuum pump with a capacity of 3100 m 3 /h. Using the KWP system, the pump performance can be increased by 2 times, up to 6200 m 3 /h.

Kaiser's remote control system operates within a range of 50 to 120 m, depending on the surrounding terrain. When the driver moves out of communication range, all controls are locked. Communication between the transmitter and digital receiver is carried out without interference from random radio signals. The hose winding and unwinding control is pneumatic. The control panel is equipped with a battery, the capacity of which is sufficient for at least 2 work shifts of continuous operation, and charging can be done either from a 220 V network or directly from the on-board network of the machine.

Although Kaiser Aquastar is positioned as a sludge sucker, it has very wide capabilities. Thanks to the selection of different fence booms, the machine can be used equally effectively for many tasks.

The installed high-pressure pump supplies water with a capacity of up to 30 m 3 /h or, optionally, up to 50 m 3 /h and creates a pressure of 20.26 MPa. The Rotomax system allows water to be reused in the cleaning system, which is why Kaiser machines are called the environmental standard for sewer cleaning machines. A dry-type vacuum device allows these machines to be used even when cleaning streets.

But perhaps the most popular among foreign suppliers of sewer cleaning machines in Russia today are machines from the Italian company MORO. The quality and popularity of MORO products is explained by the vast experience of the company, which has been developing vacuum equipment since 1955, and in general the birth of MORO dates back to 1882. The acquisition of Johnston Sweeper technology in 1972 allowed MORO to raise the production of municipal machines to a whole new level.

The representative of MORO in Russia - the Moscow company "Kominvest-AKMT" - has the opportunity to as soon as possible supply not only excellent sludge sucking machines from this manufacturer, but also sewer washing machines, MORO vacuum loaders, as well as combined sewer washing and sludge sucking machines, the use of which is very common in Europe.

Modern design of the new model range of MORO machines designed for the maintenance of sewer and utility networks, attracts the attention of not only specialists, but also ordinary people. The reverent attitude of Italians towards appearance everything that surrounds them is widely known, but in this case, in addition to the aesthetic component, the design of MORO special equipment is determined by the technical and operational requirements for this type of equipment.

Aesthetics and high level manufacturer can be seen in the names of the series of machines: these are Colibri - compact combined sewer washing machines with a total weight of only 3.5 tons; Elegance is the most popular series of sludge sucking and sewer cleaning machines (weighing from 12 to 18 tons). Sewer cleaning machines with increased productivity weighing from 25 to 32 tons can be immediately identified by their formidable name - Tornado. The MORO model range is extensive - there are 34 basic models, but at the request of the client, it is possible to assemble a machine to perform any tasks necessary for him individually technical specifications. According to the tradition of the MORO concern, the material used for the manufacture of tanks is AISI 304 stainless steel. different models holds from 1200 l (Colibri) to 14,000 l (Tornado). The system of compartments for clean water is arranged as follows: the main tank with a capacity of 600 to 7000 liters is located in the front part, and additional polyethylene tanks are located on the sides of the tank.

The characteristics of MORO sewer cleaning machines are such that you can choose a model that will help you in any specific conditions and for any volume of work.

Elegance series machines are equipped, as a rule, with two pumps: a vacuum and a high-pressure pump, creating a pressure in the system of 240 bar, protected by special hatches from the adverse effects of the environment, but not impeding access and maintenance. All MORO machines are equipped with stainless steel drums with automatic closers for 3/4" and 1/2" high pressure hoses. Special pencil cases built into the body are designed for storing sleeves. An upper hydraulic telescopic boom with a rotation angle of 360° is designed for the suction hoses. Taking into account the specifics of the work being carried out, an electric winch was installed on the vehicle to lift road hatches.

Experts will appreciate the availability of a number of systems in MORO machines, such as pneumatic drainage of water from water lines, heating of autonomous water diesel burner WEBASTO, water circulation in the system. In the machine control system, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, ergonomic and functional, which makes the operator’s work efficient and accurate. For the convenience of the operator, the possibility of remote control is provided using a multifunctional radio remote control. Everything is thought out for maximum productivity. In terms of price-quality ratio, combined sewer washing machines produced by MORO are the best offer on the market today.

Our combined

Despite the fact that domestic combined machines appeared at the disposal of municipal services relatively recently (they began to be produced in Russia after 1996), their use immediately made it possible to reduce by 1.5–2 times the operating costs that arise when they are hired for cleaning sewer systems silt sucking and washing and cleaning machines separately. The popularity of the combined approach to cleaning sewer networks is constantly growing. A practical analysis of municipal work has shown that the use of highly specialized sludge sucking and washing machines is justified only if it is necessary to pump out a large volume of sediment, when working on large-scale collectors, as well as when cleaning pipes whose diameter is significantly larger than the average.

A characteristic feature of combined machines is the presence of sealed partitions inside the tank, the position of which can be changed, thereby changing the volume of technological compartments for sludge and water. It is customary to divide combined machines into small ones, with a total volume of compartments up to 8 m3, and large ones, with a volume of more than 8 m3.

Thus, this year the TverKomMash plant launched two combined vehicles TKM-560 based on the Scania chassis and TKM-520 based on the KamAZ-65115 chassis.

The equipment of these machines is equipped with a moving piston system. This technology allows you to make maximum use of the equipment's capabilities. The vacuum pumps on both machines are manufactured by the Italian company Jurop and have a capacity of 1352 m3/h; the HPP high-pressure water pumps are also made in Italy.

Arzamas "Kommash" has developed 3 models of combined machines. The greatest demand is for the high-capacity model KO-560 on a KamAZ chassis with increased payload capacity.

The most important device of combined machines are high-pressure water pumps. KO machines use 3-plunger pumps with a crank drive of the RT type. In terms of their weight and dimensions, reliability and durability, RT pumps correspond to and even exceed those of analogues from leading European manufacturers.

For effective suction, the KO-560 uses a hose ∅100 mm, which is in direct contact with the sludge steel pipe, tightly attached to the end of the sleeve. Special ejector pumps are installed in front of the junction of the intake pipe-mouthpiece and the hose. Their use, as well as the operation of the main vacuum equipment, makes it possible to pump out sludge from a depth of more than 20 m.

If necessary, to loosen caked deposits, there is a special gun with an elongated barrel that shoots a stream of water under a pressure of 5–10 MPa.

Model KO-564 is produced by Mtsensk Kommash. This machine successfully performs the functions of a vacuum and sludge sucker, as well as a sewer washing machine. Based on the KamAZ-65115 chassis, the vehicle can clean up accumulations of silt sediment at a depth of up to 6 m and remove up to 9.3 tons of contaminants at a time. The Mtsensk machine cleans pipes with a diameter of 50–500 mm, while a high-pressure pump ensures the release of a jet of water with a pressure of 10 MPa.

The domestic market for sludge sucking and sewer cleaning machines is of great interest to European, but mostly Korean and Chinese manufacturers. However, for now it remains generally inaccessible to them. It is believed that our manufacturers of equipment in this area will not only preserve modern achievements in the future, but will also be able to claim a share of the European market - Russia’s accession to the WTO makes this possibility real.

Machines for cleaning storm drains from sludge, their technical capabilities and features.

The maintenance of city communications that provide storm drains is associated with the periodic cleaning of sewage wells and collectors from the resulting sludge. Its appearance in storm drain networks is inevitable, since this mixture of road dust and various insoluble particles with rainfall is constantly formed and, due to its gravity, is deposited on the walls of pipelines and in the pockets of wells. This pulp can only be removed with the help of a special sludge sucking machine, which allows you to extract sludge deposits from the most inaccessible places in stormwater networks.

General description of sludge sucking equipment

Any sludge sucking machine consists of a tank and a set of special equipment located on the base truck. The tank is a container for collecting sludge-containing masses that enter it due to the rarefied atmosphere created. Additional equipment mounted on the vehicle is designed to feed the suction hose directly into the channels to be cleaned (through storm wells), which are usually located under road surface at a depth of 2-3 m. In this case, the length of the suction hose should allow it to be inserted into the side branches in such a way as to ensure the suction of sludge at a distance of at least half the way to the next storm well. That is, the sludge sucker must have the necessary reserve to service two adjacent drainage points, taking into account their overlap.

The main device of suction equipment has a general direction and may differ in power characteristics, tank volume, location of the coil with a suction hose, boom reach and some other parameters.

In the classic version, the sludge removal machine contains the following equipment:

  • tank;
  • swivel boom for guiding the suction hose;
  • bay with sleeve;
  • bay drive;
  • Vacuum pump;
  • hydraulic equipment;
  • pneumatic equipment;
  • valve systems, moisture separation and air purification;
  • sludge dilution system (optional).
The described equipment is installed, as a rule, on MAZ, KamAZ, ZIL vehicles or on imported trucks of a similar class.

The installation works in this way: the car drives up to a given object storm sewer where it is necessary to remove accumulated sludge. Using a rotating boom, which has a rotation angle of 360°, the hose for collecting sludge is supplied to the opening of the well or storm funnel, after which it is lowered to the required depth using a drive. The vacuum pump, capable of creating tank vacuum and excess pressure, is controlled by a four-way valve. In this situation, the pump is turned on to a vacuum, and due to the pressure difference, the pulp is sucked into the sludge compartment of the tank. A system of float valves regulates the degree of filling of the tank and, if necessary, shut-off valves close the incoming hose.

Control shut-off devices prevent sludge water from entering the pump.

The tank has two combined compartments, one of them is intended for sludge water, separated when the tank is filled. At the same time, the tank has another compartment in which there is pure water, its capacity does not exceed 1 m3. Using this reserve, sludge is liquefied, the suction hose is washed when clogged, and the main bunker is cleaned after emptying. The water supply is created by forcing air into the tank or a separate high-performance water pump.

Since the sludge masses are freed from water after pumping, the process of cleaning the tank is carried out by tipping it over using hydraulic cylinders. The contents are released through the opening rear of the tank. Unloading occurs by gravity and flushing or by a hydraulically driven ejector piston. Some manufacturers use special vibration devices for high-quality unloading. The rear cover of the tank also opens hydraulically and has sealing seals.

The tank body has a cylindrical shape, is made of a steel sheet with a thickness of at least 5 mm, the inside of the steel sheet is coated with a zinc coating, which prevents metal corrosion from moisture and aggressive environment. Sometimes they produce machines with stainless steel tanks, in which case the service life of the tank is almost unlimited, but the cost of such equipment is higher.

The vacuum pump is controlled by pneumatic devices powered by energy accumulators; air is pumped through a compressor. An oil pump that powers all hydraulic equipment, and air compressor are driven by a power take-off box, which is mounted on the vehicle frame.

The system of filters and valves is responsible for cleaning the used air, preventing moisture, water or pulp from entering the vacuum pump. The machine may contain equipment for purifying sludge water, which is then used for technical purposes, for example, for washing the tank after unloading.

The equipment is controlled remotely by the operator by acting on the levers of pneumatic valves. Most suction machines are equipped with a boom above the tank to feed the hose. The equipment of the latest models may contain a drum with a coiled hose attached to the rear of the tank, this allows reducing the dimensions of the equipment and improving the passage of solids through the cross-section of the pipeline.

Depending on the power of the pump and the volume of the tank, the time to fully load can take from 3 to 10 minutes.

After loading, the vehicle is unloaded at designated landfills using the described method.

The scope of application of sludge sucking equipment is very different. The following tasks are mainly performed:

  • clearing storm drains;
  • groundwater pumping;
  • cleaning ponds, swimming pools, drainage systems fountains;
  • cleaning car wash bins;
  • cleaning of wells and wells;
  • sewerage works (in case of combined execution).

Review of models on some types of chassis

Leading manufacturers of municipal equipment, in particular sludge suckers, There are such manufacturing plants as the Kommash plant in Arzamas, the Kommash plant in Mtsensk, and TverKommash in Tver. These enterprises have been specializing in this technology for many years, which has led to the improvement of the models produced. In parallel, the network of official dealers of these enterprises offers not only big choice models of suction pumps on various chassis, but also further service maintenance and support with necessary spare parts.
