Equipment for unclogging sewer pipes has undergone numerous improvements, including hand-cranked drain cleaners, one-shot drain cleaners (which work the same way as a leather pump used at home), electric high-pressure drain cleaners, and high-pressure drain cleaning vehicles.
High-pressure drain cleaning vehicles and drain cleaning vehicles have gradually replaced traditional tools like one-shot drain cleaners. The former is used for daily household drain cleaning, while the latter is typically used in large factories and municipal pipelines. These drain cleaning vehicles typically have pipe diameters between 1000 and 300 mm and are expensive, primarily purchased by municipalities.
How Sewer Cleaning Works？
Powered by a gasoline or diesel engine, the engine's drive shaft drives the drain cleaner through a coupling. Tap water is used as the medium. Water enters the drain cleaner through the inlet pipe, creating a high-pressure water jet at the nozzle and showerhead. The high-speed water jet scours, removes, and breaks up blockages, sludge, and dirt buildup within the pipe, effectively cleaning the sewer's internal walls. Operators adjust the pressure of the high-pressure water jet according to the severity and severity of the blockage, applying different pressures to clean the sewer pipes thoroughly and effectively.
So, what are the features that make modern high-pressure sewer cleaning machines and trucks so widely used and recognized as unclogging tools?
High-pressure sewer cleaning machines have three main applications:
1. Environmental protection.
The government currently promotes environmentally friendly living, and high-pressure sewer cleaning machines perfectly meet this need. High-pressure sewer cleaning machines use no chemicals and rely solely on water to clean and unclog pipes, producing no pollutants or harmful gases.
2. Quality.
When workers use sewer cleaning machines to clear a blockage, the high-speed, high-pressure water flow removes dirt from the pipe walls, making it more efficient and faster than ordinary unclogging machines.
3. Efficiency.
High-pressure drain cleaners clean very quickly, primarily because the high-pressure water jet instantly shatters dirt and other debris wherever it passes. (Note: High pressure can penetrate metal, so be sure not to use this type of equipment directly on people, objects, or livestock.)
4. Protects pipes.
High-pressure drain cleaners effectively protect pipes from corrosion and damage. This is an effect unattainable with chemical drain cleaning.
5. Wide Range of Applications.
High-pressure drain cleaners are not only used for unclogging pipes. They can also be used to remove scale, flush floors, and rinse stains with nozzle replacement.
6. Long Lifespan.
Unlike conventional drain cleaners, which have a very short lifespan, high-pressure drain cleaners typically use imported high-pressure plunger pumps. These pumps offer a unique feature: they can operate continuously 24 hours a day and have a long lifespan, typically around eight years.
7. Low Maintenance Costs.
The high-pressure pump in a sewer cleaning and unclogging machine is a crucial component. For pumps over four years old, only some wearing parts, such as the pressure regulating valve and water seal, are typically replaced. The nozzle is also typically replaced every two to three years. And that's only if you use it daily.
