Vactor recently released the 2100i Combination Sewer Cleaner with the new option of a 27-inch vacuum for longer pulls and deeper suction for solid waste.
“This robust vacuum enables our customers to reach waste from a farther distance,” says Tyler Skolek, Vactor product manager. “The new option gives those customers as much vacuum as they need. As with the current 2100i, this feature offers our customers the same reliability and efficiency that Vactor is known for.”
The 27-inch blower offers more vacuum than other iterations of blowers on the Vactor 2100i Combination Sewer Cleaner. To accommodate the longer vacuum, modifications to the 2100i include reinforcement on the debris body and more structural brackets for the debris body recess. Two silencers help reduce noise for a quieter operation. An additional benefit is it runs cooler with an additional inlet to keep the blower cool.
Material can be moved in two different ways: dilute phase, where air is mixed with material to increase the conveyance distance, and dense phase, where it is a solid column of material. The ability to move material in the dense phase is directly related to the vacuum’s power level. The 2100i Combination Sewer Cleaner with the 27-inch vacuum offers an efficient solution for heavy, dense material being conveyed over long deep distances.
“Customers also may see an increase in durability of their 2100i because the inlet silencer allows cool atmospheric air to enter the blower at high vacuum levels, which helps cool the blower and reduces the chance of premature wear,” Skolek says.
Power and performance
Beyond the longer vacuum, the Vactor 2100i still offers the same precision, power and performance. The IntuiTouch cab controls and IntuiTouch control panel make functions as simple as the touch of a button while also combining all cleaning system functions into one control panel.
A combination sewer cleaner like the Vactor 2100i is commonly referred to as a vacuum truck, but it is actually an air conveyance machine. That means it can work in a variety of applications including reducing clogs in sanitary lines, storm sewer lines and catch basins; routing cleaning and preventive maintenance of sewer lines, lift stations and catch basins; and working through sludge buildup at water treatment plants and vacuum excavation work.
“While Vactor’s other blower configurators are also excellent for these tasks, the 27-inch 2100i is particularly well suited for handling tougher and longer distance jobs with greater efficiency,” Skolek says. “Vactor’s priority is always the customer. Our customers wanted a 27-inch blower so we provided that as an option on one of our most popular sewer cleaners.”
Skolek adds that it’s really a matter of air movement, so customers with the 18-inch vacuum also can work efficiently and productively. “To drive the 27-inch blower, you need additional horsepower. That means selecting a 27-inch blower will reduce water capacity and payload to accommodate the larger engine for that horsepower. So, it’s really up to customers to determine which one best fits their needs. We love giving our customers those options to customize and get what they need for their applications.”
Vactor has been in business for more than a century as an American manufacturer. The company’s expertise and leadership in sewer cleaning dates back more than 50 years. As an innovator, Vactor created the first combination sewer cleaner, saving time and money while improving productivity and safety for operators.
