ISUZU 12000L sludge vacuum truck
Vacuum Sewage Suction Truck
This vacuum sewage suction truck is designed for efficient pumping, transport, and discharge of liquid waste, sludge, and semi-solid materials. It is widely used in municipal sanitation, sewage treatment, industrial waste management, and environmental cleaning operations.
High-Efficiency Vacuum Pumping System
Equipped with a rotary vane vacuum pump (model XD-420), the system delivers a stable working vacuum of 10–18 inHg with an airflow capacity of up to 950 m³/h. This ensures strong suction performance for high-density sludge, sediment, and slurry without clogging.
Large-Capacity Tank with Reinforced Structure
The tank has a capacity of 12,000 L and is built from Q235B carbon steel with 6 mm wall thickness. Optional stainless-steel tank material (304) is available for corrosion-resistant and long-term wastewater service. Internal baffles improve vehicle stability during transport.
Reliable Suction and Discharge Operations
The suction hose (φ60 mm, 8–10 m) is reinforced with steel wire for durability. The rear hydraulic door combined with tank tilting (≥30°) allows complete unloading, preventing residue buildup and reducing cleaning time.
Simple and Durable Suction Arm Structure
The fixed suction arm structure offers easy positioning and low maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability in daily sanitation operations and sludge pumping environments.
Powerful Chassis for Stable Performance
Built on the Isuzu QL1180 4×2 chassis, the truck is powered by the 4HK1-TCG60 engine producing 151 kW (205 hp), paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The extended cab configuration provides comfortable operation with air conditioning and power windows.
Applications
Suitable for urban sewage pipelines, septic tank maintenance, industrial wastewater treatment, drainage ditch cleaning, and sludge removal in municipal sanitation departments and environmental companies.
