Primary Application Scenarios 

The adaptability of the Cleaning Suction Truck makes it indispensable across various sectors. Here are the primary environments where it excels:

Municipal Drainage and Sewer Maintenance 

Cities generate vast amounts of wastewater and solid waste that can lead to pipe blockages. This truck is the first line of defense for sanitation departments. It efficiently removes sediment, sludge, and wastewater from drainage systems, preventing urban flooding and maintaining public health. Its ability to reach depths of 20 meters makes it ideal for accessing deep main lines.

Industrial and Agricultural Waste Management 

Factories and farms often deal with liquid and semi-solid waste that requires specialized handling.

Industrial Use: Cleaning out settling tanks, holding ponds, and industrial spills.

Agricultural Use: Removing manure from lagoons or managing liquid fertilizer, thanks to the pump's ability to handle viscous materials.

Emergency Response and Disaster Relief 

In the event of a flood or hazardous spill, rapid response is critical. The high-velocity suction capability allows emergency crews to quickly remove standing water or contain chemical spills, mitigating damage and safety risks. The truck’s maneuverability allows it to navigate into tight corners and congested urban areas where larger equipment cannot go.

Construction and Site Rehabilitation 

Construction sites often accumulate muddy water and debris. This vehicle can be used for dewatering excavations, cleaning up slurry from concrete cutting, and general site rehabilitation, ensuring projects stay on schedule and comply with environmental regulations.

Troubleshooting Common Issues with the Sewage Suction Pump 

To ensure longevity and peak performance, operators should be aware of common problems and their solutions related to the suction pump.

Issue 1: Pump Does Not Suck or Suction Force is Weak 

This is often the most frequent operational complaint.

Possible Cause A: Blocked Anti-Overflow Valve. Dirt and debris can lodge in the valve, preventing it from sealing or opening correctly.

Solution: Regularly inspect and clean the anti-overflow valve to remove any obstructions.

Possible Cause B: System Leakage. Air leaks in the piping or tank connections destroy the vacuum.

Solution: Perform a pressure test on the system. Check all seals, gaskets, and pipe fittings, and repair any leaks immediately.

Possible Cause C: High Water Temperature. In water ring pumps, the sealing water temperature can become too high, reducing pump efficiency.

Solution: Ensure the water tank switch is open and replace the water with cooler fluid if necessary.

Possible Cause D: Blocked Inlet Pipe. Foreign objects may partially or fully block the inlet pipe of the sewage pump.

Solution: Disconnect and inspect the inlet hose and piping, clearing any debris to ensure an unobstructed flow.

Issue 2: Insufficient Suction Power of the Sewage Pump 

Even if the pump runs, it may not generate enough vacuum.

Possible Cause A: Low Oil Level in the Vacuum Pump. The vacuum pump requires lubrication to create a proper seal.

Solution: Check the oil level and add 1-2 liters of the recommended engine oil as needed.

Possible Cause B: System Blockage. Sludge or debris may have accumulated inside the pipeline system.

Solution: Completely disassemble and thoroughly clean the suction pipeline system to remove all dirt.

Possible Cause C: Softening of Hoses. Over time, rubber suction and return pipes can soften under vacuum and collapse internally, restricting flow.

Solution: Replace soft hoses with rigid pipes or reinforced hoses that can withstand negative pressure.

Issue 3: Suction Pump Malfunction or Noise 

Unusual noises or failure to rotate indicate internal problems.

Possible Cause A: Worn Internal Components. The pump's impeller or casing may be worn due to abrasive materials.

Solution: Inspect the pump internals and replace worn parts or sealing rings to restore performance.

Possible Cause B: Import Pipeline Blockage. A blockage at the pump's inlet can cause cavitation or strain the pump.

Solution: Clean the import pipeline to ensure a smooth, unobstructed flow of media into the pump.

Maintenance Best Practices 

To avoid these issues, we recommend a strict maintenance schedule. Regularly check the wear of all moving parts, maintain proper oil levels, and keep all sealing points in good condition. A proactive approach ensures the sewage suction pump operates reliably for years.
