the best technology in drain cleaning

Based on our combine 50 years experience, we scoured the globe to find the best technology available in Drain Cleaning Trucks and Tools.

Cappellotto is a world leader with over 50 years experience in truck-chassis-mounted sewer and stormwater cleaning equipment. The same units we chose are currently deployed in over 40 countries due to their quality, high capacity, reliability and safety.

As non-stop, recycled-water hydrodynamic jetting and vacuum-cleaning units, they are three times more efficient than traditional non recycling jet-vacs. Not only is recycling the water better for the environment, but it makes the whole process much faster: the tanker usually only fills and empties once a day, where others spend considerably more downtime having to empty and refill water tanks. The vacuum hose is also remote-controlled, whereas competitors vacuum tubes need to be clamped together, which is slow and labour-intensive.

CAPPELLOTTO CAPRECY 2600 SERIES

The 2600 series excels in gaining tight access to stormwater/sewerage pipes and gross pollutant traps, with the mobility of a single steer-axle truck.

Here are the specs:

Debris: 5,000 litres
Water: 5,000 litres
Vacuum: 2,400 m3
Water pump: 330 litres per minute @ 170 bar
Vacuum hose: 12 m of 150-mm diameter
Sewer hose: 180 m of 1″ hose

CAPPELLOTTO CAPRECY 3200 SERIES

This is the most powerful jet-vac in Australia. Its longer vacuum tube and higher vacuum capacity make this larger truck ideal for wet-well sewer and submersible pump stations. Its massive debris and water tanks give it a loading capacity far greater than any other truck in Australia, while its ample water power handles large diameter stormwater and sewerage pipes with ease.

The hydro-excavator attachment also allows us to make potholes very quickly and easily for such things as stobie poles and footings, especially in tight access areas such as for a historical building.

Here are the specs:

Debris: 8,000 litres
Water: 6,000 litres
Vacuum: 4,500 m3
Water pump: 350 litres per minute @ 210 bar
Vacuum hose: 20 m @ 150-mm diameter
Sewer hose: 330 m of 1″ hose

drain cleaning nozzles

We have invested over $50,000 on a complete selection of jet cleaning nozzles for each truck, which are 25% more powerful than those used by our competitors.

Primus – This controlled-rotation nozzle bores through roots, grease and mineral deposits.

Flying nozzle -Its narrow-angled jets give it tremendous cleaning efficiency and unsurpassed traction for the toughest applications, such as cleaning sewer or stormwater lines in mountainous or difficult terrain.

Chisel nozzle– Variable jet options and sharp edges tackle the most difficult situations such as total blockages including solid root masses.

Dredger nozzle – This appliance specialises in the removal of heavy solids, silt, sand and sludge sitting at the bottom of a pipe.

Pipe wolf – Driven by a turbine at 6,000 rpm, this highly efficient tool handles extreme applications such as total blockages of root, silt and grease where standard hydro-dynamic tools fail.

Turbo chain-cutters – These very expensive cutters, but effective, remove obstructions such as calcium, grease, scale and crust as well as extensive root growth and total blockages over long distances.

Milling cutter – This tool actually bores through hard grease, concrete and scale of all kinds and is particularly good in cast-iron pipework.
