Vacuum Loading

Vacuum loading is simply transferring materials whether solid or liquid from one location to another using vacuum. cyclonic_dumper

We can transfer most materials, from virtually anywhere to anywhere else. See the list below. The material is carried by the air stream caused by a large vacuum pump, then separated from the air stream by a cyclone and deposited out of a collection hopper to its new location.

Examples of Vacuum Loading

Below is a list of a few ways this can be used although the list could be endless:

move gravel or sand on a building site to another part of the site or even onto a truck for removal offsite
move gardening materials like loam or bark chips from front of residence or anywhere else, to where needed in the garden
clean-up of toxic or environmently damaging spilled materials
transferring rain water from one tank to another when replacing
clean up under shearing shed floors to stockpile or truck away
