New high vacuum tank trailer from Greens Environmental

Company says iVac is the only UK-manufactured vacuum and pressure discharge unit on the market

GREENS Environmental, the liquid waste and industrial service tanker specialists, have launched a new high vacuum air conveyancing plant. The iVac is said to be the only British-manufactured deep vacuum and pressure discharge unit on the market. It has been designed specifically to uplift heavy wet and dry industrial materials, including aggregate and powder products, and is particularly suitable for product recovery.

The iVac unit has a 16.5 cubic metre capacity tank, to maximize payload, and an airflow rate of up to 8,000 cubic feet per minute with a vacuum level down in excess of 90%. It also features an automatic filter media-cleansing unit to optimize operating time.

Responding to customer demand, Greens Environmental have a range of vehicles and equipment available to hire for short-, medium- and long-term projects. Paul Cutter, director of the iVac project, said: ‘The iVac is the result of an ambitious year’s investment of around £200,000 in design and development culminating in the release of the iVac Series.’

The high vacuum tank trailer was conceived as a solution to meet the needs of clients requesting the hire of a vacuum unit capable of loading both dry and wet bulk products that cannot be recovered with standard vacuum units. The tanker was designed in house and will be manufactured in house, so that the iVac team can retain full technical control.

Phil Green, director of Greens Environmental, commented: ‘We wanted to make a product that not only met our customers’ technical requirement, but also made commercial sense to all parties. We have simplified the technical characteristics of the units without compromising on quality and performance, which has resulted in much lower manufacturing costs. This cost saving is passed down the line to the client, whether that cost is per hour, per day, per week or per month.’

Greens Environmental say the iVac 8000 is the first in a series of products that will be launched over the coming months.
