A Vacuum Service Unit Designed for Severe Duty

Transway Systems offers the ultimate severe-duty all-weather vacuum service unit for residential, commercial and grease trap work. The idea got its start when a customer required a versatile combination vacuum and jetter truck for all types of weather. Transway along with the customer got together to design a better truck. 

Starting with the vacuum portion of the unit, the vacuum debris tank is 3,000 gallons with a telescopic hoist and a hydraulic full-open door with hydraulic door locks. Vacuum performance was critical because some of the customer’s jobs require 200 to 300 feet of hose with a deep lift. A hydraulic-driven, high-vacuum blower rated for 1,600 cfm and 27 inches Hg supplies the vacuum. 

Transway also needed to think of the driver, so it installed a hydraulic, rear-mounted hose reel for the vacuum hose. The high-pressure jetter is required in all types of weather, even at 20 degrees below zero for residential and commercial work. The jetter includes a hydraulic-driven triplex pump rated for 18 gpm at 4,000 psi for thawing pipes and cleaning grease and also includes a 420,000 Btu diesel-fired burner. The hose reel is hydraulic driven with 500 feet of 1/2-inch sewer hose. All jetter functions are accessible with a wireless remote control for one-man operation. 

The most important function is the jetter operation in severe cold temperatures. All water components are installed in an insulated heated enclosure, with a coolant heater fed from the truck chassis engine and a secondary heat source from a temperature-controlled Webasto heater.
