Vac-Con combination machines are available in configurations from 3.5 to 16 cubic yard capacities, with hydrostatically driven two- and three-stage centrifugal compressors or several optional positive displacement blowers with up to 27 inches Hg. High-pressure, smooth-flow water systems are offered up to 120 gpm and 3,000 psi, with cross-linked polyethylene water storage tanks with total capacities up to 1,500 gallons to handle the cleaning of small- or large-diameter pipe. They can be equipped with a 180-degree articulating front-mounted hose reel in capacities up to 1,000 feet, and high-pressure hose diameters from 5/8 to 1 1/4 inches. There are front-mounted telescopic booms available with up to a 10-foot extension, and 8- and 10-inch tube diameter. They can double as vacuum excavators with the optional hydroexcavation package. This allows the operator to reduce the volume of water, maintain the pressure for digging, and direct the flow through a conventional excavation hand wand. 904/284-4200; www.vac-con.com.
