Camel Water & Vacuum Systems
Camel Water System
The water tanks on our Camel units are constructed of 3/8" non-cross linked, rotationally-molded polyethylene with ultraviolet stabilizer. The water tank modules uniformly surround the collector body and are comprised of 250 gallon sections with 4" interconnects for quick filling. The water tank fill system includes a 4" air gap, anti-siphon system; sight tubes on both sides, inspection ports on top of each tank and 2-1/2" x 25' fill hose.
The Camel’s water system also features an exclusive positive displacement triplex design. The triplex water pump provides smooth-acting, surge-free operation, and delivers constant pressure and flow at any speed. The hydraulically-controlled sewer hose reel feeds the hose into the sewer, back flushes the material, and then vacuums it up.
Camel Vacuum System
As back-flushed debris is vacuumed from the manhole, water and solids are retained by the collector body. Liquid is separated from debris by the ejector plate and removed via the front body drain. The air passes through a stainless
steel micro-strainer and plenum separator.
The Camel Vacuum System utilizes a rotary lobe positive displacement "roots" type vacuum pump. The pump positively displaces a certain amount of air per revolution making it possible to vacuum above or below the surface. Two figure 8-shaped lobes, rotating in opposite directions, move entrapped air around the case to the outlet port where clean air is exhausted into the atmosphere. Consuming fuel only when it’s working hard, the positive displacement vacuum pump combines high vacuum levels and CFM to give you the most effective system available.
With its revolutionary positive displacement vacuum system, the Camel offers maximum performance when conveying materials, regardless of how. And, no material is ever too deep or too far away from the unit.
The Versatility of Three Systems in One!
The flexible Camel 200 Series offers three different modes of conveying material:
- Air Conveyance - Like a centrifugal fan, the air conveyance mode moves material with air. With this method, air must be present to convey material.
- Pure Vacuum - The pure vacuum mode moves material with vacuum similar to a vane type pump used in septic tank units. This method moves material without air conveyance.
- Fluidizing Tube - A combination of both methods, the Fluidizing Tube removes material from beneath the liquid surface by pure vacuum, and then injects air into the system to carry material into the collector body via air conveyance.
