Cape DBI vacuumation is suitable for the effective removal of the full spectrum of Powders, Liquids, Slurries, Sludges, Catalysts and Solids. The Company’s Disabs, Vacuum Tankers, SludgeVacs and Liquid Ring Units are fitted with large capacity airflow suction pumps and liquid ring vacuum pumps delivering high powered suction, allowing faster job completion,reducing downtime and maximising productivity.

Vacumation

Cape DBI Industrial Services’ powerful vacuumation units generate flow rates up to 8000 cubic metres per hour (4,700 cfm) and offer excellent suction performance characteristics capable of deep-vacuumation of dense materials, high lift for greater depths and impressive results over extended distances from the power plant.

Typical uses for Cape DBI vacuumation units include Separators; Dry wells and wet wells; Soakaways; Digestors; Lagoons; Boilers; Fuel and oil tanks; Septic tanks; and Catch pits across the full range of industrial, chemical and utility applications.

Once collected, materials can be transported off-site in bulk or batched in bags or skips on-site using the latest pre-separation hoppers and continuous discharge systems. The units are suitable for all industrial or municipal applications where a range of wet or dry hazardous and non- hazardous materials have to be sucked and/or blown in volumes ranging from a small septic tank up to 2000 tonne silos.

Cape DBI’s range of portable vacuum units:

Super SludgeVac :

The UK’s LARGEST portable airflow suction unit, Super SludgeVac is driven by 3000 cfm of air. The massive power allows specialist bulk waste removal over a horizontal distance of 800m, or up to 140m in vertical applications, shifting as much as 23 tonnes of material per hour*. This impressive unit is ideal for difficult access situations, wet wells, grit tanks and balancing pond applications.

SludgeVac:

A more compact unit, SludgeVac offers the same wide-ranging advantages as Super SludgeVac, but is utilised in less demanding situations over ranges of up to 400m at a handling capacity of up to 14 tonnes per hour*.

MiniVac:

These compact, portable units mounted on either a trolley or skip may be used by a single operator. Powered by compressed air, MiniVacs offer a large suction capacity without any moving parts, making them ideal for cleaning tanks, reactors, floors, distillation towers and machine, pump and boiler rooms. They are suitable for the efficient removal of a wide range of oils, powders, granulates and liquids.
