from Youngman richardson NEW VAC-EX VACUUM TRACKED EXCAVATORS

thE Vac-EX nEW ZEaLanD models, the Vac-Ex T-VAC track and the AIR-VAC track provide a safe and specialist alternative to traditional digging methods where buried utilities need to be quickly located and safely exposed, particularly on construction sites. And just for something entirely different, we will also make available the AIR-EX lance, which is a lightweight, hand-held air excavating tool that can be used in conjunction with the two compact vacuum excavation machines. Vac-Ex uses compressed air to break up the ground before vacuuming the loosened soils. By using this specialist technique, the excavated material remains dry, giving you the option to reuse the material on site to refill holes or trenches saving on disposal costs. As well as general use in the Construction and Hire Industries, specific industrial applications could include pipelaying, cable laying, gas, road works, tunnelling, arboriculture, military, airports, municipal, building, environmental, hydro-demolition, petrochemical and rail works. As well as being non-destructive, the Vac-Ex process has a unique property that can excavate very narrow and deep holes or trenches up to 2 metres deep and 90mm wide in under 5 minutes depending on the ground. The soil removal process is fast and can effectively save between 4 – 5 times the time taken to hand dig. Vac-Ex units can come in different sizes, shapes, and weights to suit the job at hand. The Vac-Ex tracked units have an operating weight from 1650kg – 2880kg, each offering a different solution to the customers’ requirements. ■

Selwood d75SS draiNer pUmp

thE SELWooD SUpEr SILEnt, diesel powered D75SS pump is a compact, high-performance machine with a noise level as low as 75db(A) at 7M. Low operating costs are achieved through overall design efficiency which produces a maximum flow rate of up to 59m³/hr, a total head of 23.5m and the handling of solids of up to 29mm. The Selwood D75SS is perfect for use with clean water, fine or larger solids and screened sewerage. The overall size of the Selwood D75SS Drainer pump is 122cm L x 93cm W x 120cm H which can be stacked 3 units high. Other features that set this model apart is an auto start and stop function, convenient intake and outtake valves and handy control panel. ■

Track to the future.

Vac-Ex tracked vacuum excavators have a narrow footprint and are an innovative way to excavate buried utilities quickly and safely using compressed air to break up and vacuum up soil. Excavated material stays dry and can be reused on site.

Ideal for utility, construction and hire industries: pipelaying, rail works, cable laying, gas, road works, tunnelling, arboriculture, military, airports, municipal, building, environmental, hydro-demolition and petro-chemical.
