Vactor makes sewer cleaners that increase productivity and handle tough jobs. Built around the idea of fast, simple and precise operation, Vactor-built machines utilize the latest innovative technology. The Vactor Jet Rodder Water pump is one such example of its proven technology.
“The Vactor team develops technology that makes jobs easier and more productive,” says Kip Ketner, Vactor associate product manager. “The Jet Rodder Water pump stands out due to its simplicity, power and reliability. It truly makes operation easy while producing high pressure and high flow.”
The Jet Rodder Water pump is available on the Vactor 2100i combination sewer cleaner, 2100i catch basin cleaner, iMPACT combination sewer cleaner and Ramjet Truck Series jetters. With the pump, daily routine maintenance and operation are simple because there is only one internal moving part and fewer seals compared to triplex pumps.
The technology is also powerful. As a single-piston, double-acting pump, the Jet Rodder Water pump produces 50 to 120 gpm and 2,000 to 3,000 psi. Because of the large displacement of the pump, to achieve high flow, the pump cycles 25 times per minute as compared to triplex pumps 600-800 rpm. The more water you get to the nozzle, the more material you can carry back to the truck. Its jackhammer action at the nozzle pounds through line blockages and lifts the nozzle head up and over the blockage. This action gets the nozzle to the place where it will do the most work – on the other side of the blockage. This anchor also aids in the ability to climb grades.
The pump’s single shaft features specially constructed piston heads that are driven back and forth making it hydraulically driven, with the hydraulic oil-to-water-ratio of about 1:1. For every gallon of hydraulic oil pumped into the pump, one gallon of water is being pumped out.
A reliable pump
Beyond the simplicity and power, the Jet Rodder Water pump is also reliable. Designed and manufactured in house at Vactor, the pump features pump cylinders made of bearing material, which is ground, polished and chrome plated. The shaft is stainless steel as well as chromed and polished, and the check valves are stainless steel too.
The Jet Rodder Water pump provides smooth continuous flows through its entire operating range and breaks up the toughest blockages. For more information on the pump, visit vactor.com/technology.
