Vac-Con offers operators the ability to custom-configure their machine for job site-specific requirements with the X-Cavator hydrovac machine.
Although synonymous with hydrovac and combination machines, big and heavy is not always what the operator is looking for when it comes to job site equipment. With this in mind, Vac-Con offers customers the ability to custom-configure their machines to meet size, height and weight requirements without sacrificing power and functionality.
The X-Cavator is a hydrovac unit that offers operators a precise and efficient method for daylighting, locating underground utilities and excavating. The X-Cavator boasts simple, operator-friendly features along with a range of content options to meet the requirements of any customer. The X-Cavator is designed to operate on both wet and dry excavation work sites.
X-CAVATOR SPECS
The standard X-Cavator is offered with a three-stage centrifugal compressor, dual cyclonic separators and hydrostatic drive. Popular options include an articulating, rear-mounted PowerFlex boom, air compressors up to 185 cfm equipped with air knife, a Quiet package silencer for the centrifugal compressor, and a full range of positive displacement blowers.
Although the larger units have dominated the market, the X-Cavator is available from a 3-cubic-yard debris tank capacity up to 16 cubic yards.
Other options include a 60-degree opening debris tank door with an optional hi-dump function, 500 to 1,500 gallon water tank capacity, 270-degree boom articulation and an 18-inch vacuum Hg at 3,600 cfm.
The X-Cavator is versatile and right at home handling tough jobs such as trenching, potholing, water and sewer repairs, highway and street repairs, propane and gas tank remediation, long distance and congested area excavation, and oil and gas distribution lines.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PRODUCT
The X-Cavator has become a go-to for many contractors and municipalities that rely on it to complete tasks that they otherwise would not be able to accomplish without this unit. “Our flagship hydroexcavator showcased the benefits of hydrovac excavation at a complicated job site,” says a company spokesperson for ADP Group Ltd. in North Yorkshire, U.K. The contractor chose the X-Cavator to complete an intricate project that involved distance, rough terrain and variably aged infrastructure.
The workload included drilling and installation of monitoring boreholes, full-site utility survey and clearance of services including a high-voltage service along the front of the site. The X-Cavator completed the job in record time.
“The Vac-Con X-Cavator safely excavated pre-drill pits working 65-plus meters from the work site, reducing manual handling and costs, all while ensuring that any underground services encountered were not damaged,” says the spokesperson.
Vac-Con, Inc. has manufactured more than 8,500 custom-built, truck-mounted machines to serve public and private environmental markets globally since 1986. Located in Green Cove Springs, Florida, it is one of the largest producers of sewer cleaning equipment in North America.
