 Vacuum

Thoughtful
design and superior build quality put the Hi-Spec
range of Vacuum Tankers in a class of their own. All
our tankers from 750 gallons (3409 ltrs) to 3,000
gallons (13640 ltrs) use an unique low profile spreading
system, this works by using a specially shaped deflection
plate to create a fan of slurry less than a metre
above the ground, yet it is capable of achieving a
spreading pattern up to 12 metres wide. The downward
directed plate not only increases controllability,
but also decreases air pollution and unpleasant smells.
 Design
All tankers are manufactured using 6mm high quality British steel. Internal implosion rings are fitted to all tanks, which are then mounted on a strong chassis frame for maximum support. To ensure effective corrosion protection two coats of paint are applied to all tankers, an anti-corrosive primer and an enamel finish, thus giving a high quality long lasting finish. Alternatively Vacuum Tankers can be galvanised up to and including 2,000 gallons (9092 ltrs) models.
Features
The Hi-Spec range of Vacuum Tankers come standard
with hydraulic brakes, lights, 6" filler and
discharge points, 3" (76mm) sight glasses, a
blanked off side fill point, 15ft (4.57metres) of
6" suction hose and a 2½" (63mm) washdown
adaptor. All tankers including and above 1,350 gallons
(6138 ltrs) also have as standard a 6" quick
attach suction hose fitting.
On all tankers above 2,300 gallons (10455 ltrs) a
sprung drawbar is fitted as standard. This is designed
reduce wear to both the tanker and tractor, it does
this by eliminating any shock loads being transferred
from the tanker drawbar to the tractor pickup hitch.

Hi-Spec/Bomech
Trailing Shoe NEW
The Hi-Spec/Bomech trailing shoe has 34 outlets and a working width of 7.5m with a
22cm row width. It has an overall transport width of 2.55m which meets road legal
requirements. Spreading time when compared to a splash plate is very similar but the
spread is more accurate and consistent across the complete working width.
Slurry odour is minimized with no drift and grazing
of grass can resume quicker than when slurry is spread
with a splash plate system, hence grazing periods are
extended. With the trailing shoe system, slurry can be
applied at later stages of grass growth, compared to a
splash plate system which has to be applied at an early
stage. There is no increase in power required when
compared to an equal size splash plate tanker and
maintenance required is minimal.
The Hi-Spec/Bomech trailing shoe uses a generation III
type macerator with incorporated spring loaded self
sharpening hardened knives with automatic reversal.
Any foreign materials such as stones etc. are collected
within the stone trap which is fitted as standard.
Hoses turn up to 180º to prevent remaining slurry leaking out during transport.
Fitted with hardened stainless steel trailing shoes and special
rubber boots to prevent and minimise blockages. Minimum
surface damage occurs with the Hi-Spec/Bomech trailing shoes.
One doubling acting service is all that is needed to operate
the Hi-Spec / Bomech trailing shoe through an electro-hydraulic
control unit.
A lifting system is self contained within the Hi-Spec/Bomech
trailing shoe. The 7.5m Hi-Spec/Bomech trailing shoe is of
a light weight at just 660kgs with a very simple but strong
construction.
Centrifugal System
We have available a centrifugal system on our
full range of Vacuum Tankers, this combines both
a 9,000 ltrs/min vacuum pump and centrifugal pump.
Fitted as standard with the centrifugal system
is a rain gun, this means that if land conditions
prove to be difficult, slurry can be spread using
the rain gun from a road alongside. The rain gun
can spread slurry over a distance of 295ft (90m)
and is able to be rotated hydraulically through
360º from the tractor. A stone trap is also fitted
as standard with the centrifugal system, this
eliminates the risk of any stones or foreign objects
entering and damaging the centrifugal pump. As
the system uses a 9,000 ltrs/min vacuum pump the
Vacuum Tanker can also be used as standard.
Overhead Unloading Boom
The ideal option for use in cases where regulations
permit that road conditions must be kept clean
at all times. The overhead loading boom is for
use in the unloading of a Vacuum Tanker into the
overhead filling point of a separate tanker. For

Sprung Drawbar
Available as an option on our 2,000 (9092
ltrs) gallon tankers, the sprung drawbar is designed
to reduce wear on both the tanker and tractor.
It does this by eliminating any shock loads being
transferred from the tanker drawbar to the tractor
pickup hitch.
Autofill System
Our complete range of Vacuum Tankers can also
be fitted with an automatic filling system.

Tyres
When buying a Vacuum Tanker one of the most important
decisions you will be faced with is the choice of
