How Vacuum Trucks Keep the World Clean and Safe

Vacuum trucks play a big role in a number of different industries and Dynamic Filtration plays an even bigger role in making these trucks work properly. Much like your household vacuum, these trucks pick up dust, dirt and liquids, only on a much larger scale.  Both use the same basic filtration systems to get the job done. So why would you need a vacuum truck in the first place?

Safety and Protection

While construction crews rely on backhoes and other heavy-duty equipment to handle most of their digging, there are times when a much lighter touch is needed. When digging around electrical and gas connections, they will use a vacuum excavator truck to carefully remove and loosen dirt and soil. This not only protects the pipes and cables, but also the workers themselves. 

Unclogging the Drain

Working with sewers is always tricky. Before you actually get to the job of cleaning out the sewer itself, you need to get to it. Vacuum trucks are helpful in removing all the debris that clogs the above-ground drains. Once this is accomplished, the vacuum truck will have access to the sewer so it can remove what it needs to remove. Pretty sure there is no need to say more than that!

Emergencies

While vacuum trucks play a role in everyday life, they also play a pivotal role in emergencies like sudden oil spills and unexpected flooding. If there is an accident in a large oil field, you need to be able to quickly access the area to limit both financial and environmental losses. A powerful but mobile vacuum truck is a great way to contain damage and loss, while all necessary repairs are being made.  This is also the case with flooding from rain or snowmelt. These trucks can be used to keep major highways and streets passable for traffic and emergency vehicles.

Overall, vacuum trucks are clearly an invaluable tool. Of course, these trucks wouldn’t be able to do their jobs without the proper filtration systems. You wouldn’t run your household vacuum without a bag or a filter, and the same goes for these trucks. At Dynamic Filtration we supply a wide variety of these trucks with the filters necessary to function perfectly every time they are called upon.
