The Vactor 2100i Combination Sewer Cleaner has long been a popular option for sewer maintenance crews. Now it offers even more versatility with the option of a 27-inch vacuum designed 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.”
To accommodate the longer vacuum, modifications to the 2100i include reinforcement on the debris body and more structural brackets for the debris body recess. According to Skolek, 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.
“The ability to move material in the dense phase is directly related to the vacuum’s power level,” Skolek says. “This truck offers a great solution for heavy, dense material being conveyed over long, deep distances.”
Beyond the longer vacuum, the Vactor 2100i still offers the same precision, power and performance. The IntuiTouch cab controls and IntuiTouch control panel make operation as simple as the touch of a button while also combining all cleaning system functions into one control panel.
“The WesTech 840xl blower is highly productive,” Skolek says. “When choosing the blower, we decided to go with the 840 because of its proven track record. Our customers wanted a 27-inch blower so we provided that as an option on one of our most popular sewer cleaners.”
According to Skolek, it’s a matter of air movement. To drive the 27-inch blower, additional horsepower is needed. That means selecting a 27-inch blower will reduce water capacity and payload to accommodate the larger engine for that horsepower.
“It’s really up to customers to determine which one best fits their needs,” he says. “We love giving our customers those options to customize and get what they need for their applications. The customers who wanted a 27-inch blower now have that option, and they’re pleased with the results.” 815-672-3171; www.vactor.com
