COMBINATION SEWER CLEANER

Our combination sewer cleaners — also called combo trucks or jet vac trucks — combine high-pressure sewer jetting with vacuum suction (with blow-back) in a single unit. Two separate tanks are provided: a fresh water tank and a sludge tank. The machine can jet underground drain lines and vacuum sludge from chambers in the same pass. Blocked drain and sewer lines from 50mm up to 900mm in diameter or more can be cleared effectively and efficiently by high-pressure jetting, while sludge and high-solids settled material in manholes or septic tanks can be vacuumed from a depth of roughly 8 meters (26 feet). Beyond simple suction, the blow-back system can mix settled silt with water into a slurry before vacuuming it into the tank. Units are built on truck or trailer chassis depending on tank capacity.

Key Features

  • Three capacities from 4,000 to 8,000 liters, split evenly between a fresh water (jetting) tank and a sludge (suction) tank
  • Triplex plunger jetting pumps from 137 up to 260 LPM, at 140-150 bar, matched to line size
  • Sliding-vane vacuum pumps from 390 up to 540 cum/hr, with suction hose diameter sized to match pump flow
  • Sludge stirring and blow-back system to convert silt to slurry and discharge only the water content
  • Conical Head and Round Head nozzles (front and rear holes) standard; specialty nozzles supplied on request
  • Configurable suction system discharge: hydraulic tilting, hydraulic door opening, hydraulic door locking, a derrick arm, or a hydraulically operated hose reel

Jetting Side: Flow, Pressure & Line Diameter

As with our standalone sewer jetters, the right jetting pump for a job comes down to flow and pressure relative to the diameter of the line being cleared:

Model Jetting Pump Suitable Drain Line Diameter
CM-4000 137 LPM @ 140 bar 450-500 mm (~18-20 in)
CM-6000 137 LPM @ 140 bar 450-500 mm (~18-20 in)
CM-8000 260 LPM @ 150 bar 750/1000-1500 mm (~30-60 in)

Every model ships standard with Conical Head and Round Head nozzles (front and rear holes). Specialty nozzles — penetrators, root cutters, descaling nozzles, and rotating nozzles — can be supplied to match specific jobs, the same as on our standalone sewer jetters.

Suction Side: Pump Flow & Hose Diameter

On the vacuum side, the suction hose is sized to match the pump's flow, so the hose itself doesn't choke the pump:

Model Vacuum Pump Flow Suction Hose Diameter
CM-4000 390 cum/hr 3 in (75 mm)
CM-6000 390 cum/hr 3 in (75 mm)
CM-8000 540 cum/hr 4 in (100 mm)

Suction System Configuration

The collection body's discharge system can be configured to match how you unload at the disposal site:

  • Hydraulic Door Opening — the rear door opens hydraulically; the body itself does not tilt
  • Hydraulic Tilting + Hydraulic Door Opening (standard across the CM-series) — the body tilts hydraulically for gravity-assisted discharge, combined with a hydraulically opening rear door
  • Hydraulic Door Opening, Hydraulic Tilting & Hydraulic Door Locking — adds hydraulic door locking on top of the standard configuration, in place of manual screw-type locking
  • Derrick Arm — a boom-mounted discharge arm for positioning the load precisely at the disposal point
  • Hydraulically Operated Suction Hose Reel — powers the winding and unwinding of the suction hose instead of handling it manually

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which combination sewer cleaner size I need?

Match the diameter of the line you need to jet against the flow/pressure table above, and the volume of sludge you expect to vacuum against the tank capacity and vacuum pump flow. Capacity increases from the CM-4000 up to the high-flow CM-8000.

What nozzles are available?

Conical Head and Round Head nozzles, both with front and rear holes, are standard on every model. Specialty nozzles such as penetrators, root cutters, descaling nozzles, and rotating nozzles can be supplied to match specific jobs.

Why does suction hose diameter change between models?

A wider hose is needed to carry a higher-flow vacuum pump's output without excessive restriction. The CM-8000's 540 cum/hr pump uses a 4" hose, while the smaller CM-4000 and CM-6000, at 390 cum/hr, use a 3" hose.

What suction system configurations are available?

The standard configuration is hydraulic tilting combined with hydraulic door opening. Hydraulic door locking, a derrick arm, or a hydraulically operated suction hose reel can also be specified.
