Fast-Vac - Model H-Series -Hydro Excavator Industrial Vacuum Loader

Each unit can come completely equipped with many options such as the Fast–Vac™ Hydro package including a 270 degree articulating boom. A high-pressure washer system ran by a 3500 P.S.I. Hydraulic Cat Pump. Twin Cylinder body lift, and a Roots style positive displacement 16 Hg or 27 Hg pump. Every Fast-Vac can be mounted on your chassis of choice including Remanufactured units. When the remanufactured units are completed they are zero hour machines.

Vacuum Pump

• Bi or tri lobe Roots style positive displacement vacuum pumps.
• Air  Flow Ratings – 3000,4000,5000, or 6000 CFM
• Vacuum Ratings – 16-27 Hg at standard temperature and pressure.

Drive
Transfer case / split shaft PTO separates engine from hydraulics.

Filtration System
Dual bag houses on each Fast-Vac™ unit contain 80 bags, 40 per side  dry, 8 wet.

Bags are installed with a “Snap Ring” retaining system. Filter cages are manufactured with crush resistant reinforcing wires to insure long life and easy bag removal. Bag cleaning system have an adequate size air compressor to maintain 100 psi with surge tank.  Filter bags are cleaned by reverse pulse jets with appropriate valves and sequencing timer.

No tools filter change

Payload Capacity

• 16 – 18 cubic yard total (dry material)
• 2800 gallons (liquids)

Hydraulic Top Load

• Articulated boom raises, lowers, and rotates.
• Boom rotates 270 degrees
• Comes with brake and operated by wireless remote or manually

Pressure Washer Option

• Allows pressure cleaning and utility locating excavation
• High pressure CAT Water Pump, 5.5 gpm at 3500 psi
• Unloaded, inlet filter, Safety valve & pressure switch
• Straight spray gun
• 250 gal fresh water tank with drain valve, solenoids, low level sensor
• 4” aluminum combination pressure washer / vacuum nozzle for hydro excavation
• Cold Weather anti freeze package available

Bag House and Collector Body Construction

• Bag house dumps with the collector body. Easy open/close (no tools required) bag house clean out. Doors are provided on each side of bag house.
• Filtration system is of parallel design (versus series design) for more efficient use of available horsepower, thus
• eliminating any dusting by utilizing separate flow paths for wet and dry modes. Ladders are provided for access
• to all maintenance areas from ground level. Payload capacity is 20 cubic yards (gross) – (16-18 useable) for round bodies and 22
• cubic yards (gross) for square bodies.

The safety of the people working with or on Fast-Vac™ equipment is our primary concern. Because of competitive
pressures not to include various safety ideas as standard equipment, Fast-Vac offers all our safety items on all Fast-Vac™ Series models.

Controls
Controls in the cab are provided for shifting the transfer case, setting the engine throttle and reverse pulse jet system. Hydraulic controls are located above the truck frame for ease of operation and adequate ground clearance.

Instrumentation
Above truck frame mounted instrumentation to be mounted in a NEMA 4 enclosure with safety glass door and will include the following: Differential Pressure Gauge, Vacuum Gauge, Hydraulic Pressure Gauge, Tachometer, Elapsed Time Meter, and Air Pressure Gauge are basic instrumentation.

Hydraulic Dump Hopper
The hopper is constructed of heavy gauge all welded steel construction and is reinforced to handle a negative pressure of 16 Hg with an option of up to 27 Hg.  Hydraulic lift with dual  three-stage cylinders capable of achieving a minimum 50º dump angle. Dual hoist cylinders provide maximum stability while dumping.

Tailgate
Hydraulic over mechanical for open, close, lock, and unlock mechanisms. Heavy Duty D-ring style gasket assures maximum sealing for liquids.

Hydraulics
Transmission mounted PTO with hydraulic pump of adequate capacity and pressure rating. Necessary spool  valves and circulation system of adequate pressure and capacity rating.

Safety

• The safety of the people working with and on this equipment is of primary concern. The following items are included.
• A tailgate support and body chock are provided for both tailgate and body when either is in the “UP” position for service work.
• All access doors are capable of being locked in the open position.
• Changeover from wet to dry mode of operation (and visa versa) is accomplished without entering the machine’s interior.
• An audible warning alarm is included in the hydraulic circuit for tailgate open and closed.
• Safe (non-skid tape) walking surfaces are provided on all areas of the machine requiring operator or maintenance attention.
• All elevated surfaces are enclosed by fold-up hand rails.

Maintenance
Unit is designed for ease of maintenance. The unit has a lubrication chart attached. The unit also incorporates commonly manufactured components for ease of replacement of parts and service.

Cleaning
The unit has cleaning access from the top so the unit can be washed down through the bag house, through all inner walls, between the box and the bag house, and all ductwork. There is easy access to wash lower portion of bag house from side to side and front to rear.

Quality
The vacuum module is manufactured with heavy duty industry standard components. The unit is welded by state certified welders to assure the highest quality.
