BASED ON the Continental design of combined jetting/vacuum tankers, "Whale Tanker Ltd's new Super Jetvac is built for higher throughput and for use in a wider range of sewer sizes and lengths than is possible with previous models.
The vacuum pump, powerful enough to remove both detritus and water through a 150mm (6in) bore intake system during jetting, means that there is no need for a separate sludge tanker.
The first of the contractor's vehicles was built for sewer maintenance specialists Insight Cleansing Ltd of Droitwich and was equipped with an articulated hydraulic gully-arm developed especially to meet contractor application. The arm simplifies the use of both long and short extension pipes.
Full remote controls for the intake sytem, exhauster, highpressure pump and hose reel can be located to suit particular work undertaken.
