Super Products Durasucker Vacuum  Truck

The new Durasucker vacuum truck, manufactured by Super Products LLC, marks the company’s first entry into the liquid-vacuum truck market.

“We’ve always had our eye on this market, and felt it was something that would complement our product line, given our 40 years of manufacturing experience and a loyal customer base,” says Dan Koziczkowski, product manager. “It’s aimed mainly at contractors that vacuum up liquids and slurries, and for hazardous-waste applications.”

The Durasucker is DOT 412-approved for hauling hazardous waste on highways. That gives conventional industrial-waste contractors and portable-waste pumpers and haulers the flexibility to enter a lucrative market and generate a new revenue stream.

“The ability to vacuum and transport hazardous waste moves the Durasucker one step up from a conventional, non-DOT vacuum truck,” Koziczkowski says.

The Durasucker features a full-opening rear hatch; a hydraulic hoist tilts the tank up to 50 degrees for easier and faster unloading, which improves productivity, Koziczkowski notes.

“The truck also has the capability of producing both vacuum and pressure discharge,” he adds. “That offers contractors more flexibility than a truck that features only gravity discharge.”

For pressure discharge, contractors use a 6-inch-diameter, air-operated, self-closing discharge valve. Vacuum is achieved through a 4-inch port. Both use conventional couplings.

The unit features a 3,200-gallon, carbon-steel tank with an outside diameter of 72 inches; an external rotary float gauge with a 9-inch stainless steel float ball; an air-engaged, heavy-duty PTO pump drive with a hydraulic pump; primary and secondary shutoff valves; hose hooks, trays and fenders; LED DOT lighting; one rear-mounted LED floodlight; and a bumper with heavy-duty under-ride protection and a split for hose pass-through.

An RCF500 rotary vane pump, made by Fruitland Tool & Mfg., generates maximum vacuum power of 27 inches Hg, pressure of 35 psi and 350 cfm. It also offers automatic lubrication; a four-way valve for vacuum and pressure; and an oil-catch muffler with drain valve. 800/837-971; www.superproductscorp.com.
