Sometimes sewage systems are subject to blockages, which create a kind of plug that prevents the passage of water, which even leads to flooding. Therefore, each house has special means to eliminate such problems. However, for highways or long sections of the network, a cleaning machine is used to clean the sewers, which can greatly facilitate this task and increase efficiency.

Species

To begin with, it must be said that the hand tools in this article will not be considered, although they are also sometimes called machines, and among them there are quite worthy varieties.

In this case, special attention will be paid to portable units, which are most often used by professional craftsmen. It is such a machine for cleaning sewer pipes that specialists most often acquire, since they perfectly combine such parameters as quality and cost.

Mechanical-type portable device

Mechanical units

Such devices as the working part use metal cables to clean the sewers, which are immersed in a pipe.

They can be single or consist of several parts.

  • Such sewer cleaning machines usually operate using an electric motor that transmits rotational torque to the cable.. Due to this movement inside the system is carried out, which not only contributes to the removal of the plug, but also helps to clean the walls from plaque.
For home use, small installations of the mechanical type are quite suitable, which are actuated by hand, since they have a low price and take up little space.
  • Quite often, the sewage cleaning machine is equipped with an additional special landing.. It can have a different look and shape that promotes traction and significantly improves performance.

Tip! When choosing such units, special attention should be paid to the length of the cable. The duration of the section that the device will be able to maintain depends on it.

Hydraulic impact systems

Such a machine for cleaning sewer pipes basically has a fairly powerful water pump for sewage.

At the same time, the length of the section that the device is capable of servicing will depend on it.

Additional nozzles for hydraulic systems that are used with different degrees of pollution
  • A long hose with a special nozzle is connected to it. It can change the configuration of the jets of water, and even its direction.
  • This device is easiest to use with your own hands, even to one person. It is enough to immerse the hose with the nozzle into the pipe before the mash and turn on the water supply. Water hammer will clear even the most difficult areas, especially if a heated unit is used.
Some units of this type have rather large dimensions and it is necessary to use motor transport to move them.
  • It should be noted that the type d 150 22 cars are good because they can be used for other purposes as well. Such devices are used for washing machines and industrial premises, as well as for cleaning swimming pools or other surfaces with a touch.

Tip! There are a lot of models of such units and they all have different parameters. Therefore, you must choose the device very carefully, focusing on your needs and system specifications.

Chassis Assembly

First you need to say that the price of such devices is very high. This is especially noticeable when choosing a design that is installed on a car platform. However, to save money, some companies make such equipment with a multifunctional profile, allowing it to be used as a watering machine, etc.

Some pipe cleaning machines are just huge, but they are most often used on trunk sections of the network or when working in large industries.

It should be noted that the instructions for use imply the use of such vehicles for servicing systems with large diameters. Usually these are factory highways subject to frequent pollution.

Tip! If it is not possible to purchase a full-fledged car of such a plan, then you can buy a unit mounted on a trailer. Its cost is much lower, although the parameters are practically not inferior to automotive devices.
