Hi-Spec Engineering manufacture the strongest Vacuum Tankers on the market. We currently manufacture vacuum tankers from 800 gallons (3,600 litres) to 4500 gallons (20,250 litres). All of our tanks use a unique low profile spreading system which will achieve a spreading pattern up to 12 metres wide. The downward splashplate not only increases controllability, but also decreases air pollution and unpleasant smells and helps to ensure all slurry nutrients are directed onto the soil. .

Design
All vacuum tankers are manufactured using 6mm high quality British steel. Internal implosion rings and a collared dished end are provided as standard to ensure the strongest possible construction. All tanks are mounted onto a complete chassis frame to ensure that the tank is completely supported without any weak points. Without this complete chassis, the barrel of the tank can be under increased stress and this will lead to a premature failure or corrosion of the barrel. Hi-Spec Engineering shot-blast all tanks as standard to provide an excellent key for the enamel paint finish, thus giving a high quality long lasting paint finish. Alternatively vacuum tankers can be galvanised to ensure a longer life..

Options


Hi Spec / Bomech Trailing Shoe
The Hi-Spec/Bomech trailing shoe has 34 outlets and a working width of 7.5m with a 22cm row width. It has an overall transport width of 2.55m which meets road legal requirements. Spreading time when compared to a splash plate is very similar but the spread is more accurate and consistent across the complete working width.
Slurry odour is minimized with no drift and grazing of grass can resume quicker than when slurry is spread with a splash plate system, hence grazing periods are extended. With the trailing shoe system, slurry can be applied at later stages of grass growth, compared to a splash plate system which has to be applied at an early stage. There is no increase in power required when compared to an equal size splash plate tanker and maintenance required is minimal.
The Hi Spec/Bomech trailing shoe uses a generation III type macerator with incorporated spring loaded self sharpening hardened knives with automatic reversal. Any foreign materials such as stones etc. are collected within the stone trap which is fitted as standard.
Hoses turn up to 180º to prevent remaining slurry leaking out during transport.
Fitted with hardened stainless steel trailing shoes and special rubber boots to prevent and minimise blockages. Minimum surface damage occurs with the Hi Spec/Bomech trailing shoes.
One doubling acting service is all that is needed to operate the Hi Spec / Bomech trailing shoe through an electro-hydraulic control unit.
A lifting system is self contained within the Hi Spec/Bomech trailing shoe. The 7.5m Hi Spec/Bomech trailing shoe is of a light weight at just 660kgs with a very simple but strong construction.

Centrifugal System


We have available a centrifugal system on our full range of Vacuum Tankers, this combines both a 9,000 ltrs/min vacuum pump and centrifugal pump. Fitted as standard with the centrifugal system is a rain gun, this means that if land conditions prove to be difficult, slurry can be spread using the rain gun from a road alongside. The rain gun can spread slurry over a distance of 230ft (70m) and is able to be rotated hydraulically through 360º from the tractor. A stone trap is also fitted as standard with the centrifugal system, this eliminates the risk of any stones or foreign objects entering and damaging the centrifugal pump. As the system uses a 9,000 ltrs/min vacuum pump the Vacuum Tanker can also be used as standard.

Overhead Unloading Boom
The ideal option for use in cases where regulations permit that road conditions must be kept clean at all times. The overhead loading boom is for use in the unloading of a Vacuum Tanker into the overhead filling point of a separate tanker.


Autofill System
Our complete range of Vacuum Tankers can also be fitted with an automatic filling system.


Other Options Available:

 

  • Additional filling points.

  • Fully opening back door.

  • Exhaust for quieter running of the vacuum pump.

  • High speed running gear.

  • Hydraulic topfill complete with access ladder.

  • Hydraulic changeover on vacuum pump.

  • Hydraulic spinner units for control and management of water applications.

  • Stone trap.

  • Vacuum Tankers can be galvanised up to and including 3500 gallon.

  • Tandem sprung steering axle. (only available on models above 2,000 gallons (9092 ltrs).                                                                                               

Tyres
When buying a Vacuum Tanker one of the most important decisions you will be faced with is the choice of tyre to suit your needs. We here at Hi Spec will advise you on what choices to make taking into consideration your particular situation.
