Sinotruck HOWO 16000 Liter Fecal Suction Truck 400HP Vacuum Sewage Suction Tanker Truck Details
- Vacuum Pump: Equipped with a powerful vacuum pump (often a vane-type pump from a reputable Chinese brand like Weilong, or imported brands like Jurop/Moro/BP as an option).
- Suction Performance:
- Suction Depth: Typically ≥8 meters below ground level.
- Full Suction Time: Designed for a fast fill time, often around 10-15 minutes for the entire 16,000L tank.
- Vacuum Pressure: Capable of generating a high absolute working pressure, often ≤−0.092 MPa.
- Tank Opening: The rear end of the tank is usually equipped with a hydraulic system to open for quick and complete self-discharge of the waste.
- Dump Feature: The tank body can often be hydraulically lifted (tilted) for easier, gravity-assisted discharge and cleaning.
- Safety Features: Includes an anti-overflow valve to prevent liquids from entering and damaging the vacuum pump.
