Vacuum machines for sewer and drainage work
In sewer and drainage work, sludge, sediment, wastewater and other contamination have to be removed efficiently. Naaktgeboren develops vacuum machines for vacuuming out and cleaning sewers, pipes, gullies, manholes, pumping stations and drainage systems. From routine maintenance to work during flooding and emergencies.
Applications in sewer & drainage services
Vacuum technology is used for a wide range of cleaning and maintenance work in sewer and drainage systems. For vacuuming up and removing sludge, sediment, wastewater and contaminated liquids, among other things.
Sewer & pipe maintenance
For vacuuming out sewers, pipes and grease traps and removing sludge, sediment and other dirt. Vacuum technology supports the cleaning and maintenance of sewer and pipe systems.
Gullies & manholes
For vacuuming out and cleaning road gullies and manholes. Settled deposits, sludge and other accumulated material can be vacuumed up and removed to clean gullies and manholes.
Pumping stations & drainage systems
For vacuuming out and cleaning wet wells, pumping stations and drainage systems. Sludge, sediment, sand and other accumulated material can be removed as part of routine maintenance or prior to inspection and other work.
Sludge & liquids
For vacuuming up and removing wastewater, sludge and contaminated liquids. Vacuum technology can also be used to empty grease and sludge separators.
Flooding & emergencies
In the event of flooding and other emergencies, it may be necessary to remove large quantities of water or contaminated liquids quickly. Vacuum technology can be used to vacuum out locations and remove water in a controlled manner.
The right machine starts with the application
No two applications are the same. The material, the work and the conditions on site determine which machine and configuration are most suitable. That is why we look at the application first, and then at the technology it requires.
What needs to be vacuumed up?
The type of material and its properties are decisive in the choice of machine and configuration. Think, for example, of liquids, sludge, sediment or other dirt.
What does the job require?
The quantity of material, the required capacity, the suction distance and the working method also help determine what is technically needed.
What needs to happen to the material?
Material does not always just need to be disposed of. Depending on the application, it can be discharged, moved or processed at another location.
Where will the machine be used?
The working environment places demands on aspects such as accessibility, safety and the build of the machine.
Based on these factors, we determine which machine and configuration best suit the application.
Machines for sewer & drainage services
Depending on the material, the application and the working environment, a different machine or configuration may be required.
Frequently asked questions about vacuum technology for sewer & drainage services
What is vacuum technology used for in sewer and pipe maintenance?
