The VAC is a three wheeled crawler with rubber wheels to help with traction in concrete, steel, lined, glass fused to steel and other tank types. The vacuum head is mounted in front of the vehicle on a dual actuating arm, one actuator tilts the head 20 degrees and the other raises and lowers the head 20 degrees. The head concentrates the suction at the floor of the tank to focus the pumping of water on sediment filled water. The head has two intakes, 2" in diameter (50mm), where you connect a flexible hose. The hose connects to a submersible pump outside of the tank. There is a camera on the main body of the crawler that monitors the vacuum head as it removes debris. The package also includes an elevated camera that pans and tilts above the crawler. Toggle to a view from this camera so you can monitor the areas that you have cleaned and where you are navigating to. The package does not include the hose or pump.
- Clean tanks remotely and safely
Use the VAC as an easier, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to divers operating hoses and pumps to clean a tank.
The VAC is built with anodized aluminum and utilizes our innovative magnetically coupled drive assemblies at the wheels, this eliminates the need for ongoing maintenance and is proven to be reliable long term.
The utility crawler is battery powered with the ability to trickle charge during operation, allowing you to operate in the most remote locations and switch to a topside power option when needed.
Avoid the risk of contaminants that are introduced when using divers or other foreign materials. Customers easily apply or dunk the VAC crawler into a 200ppm solution before deploying.
