SYSTEM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Selecting the Proper Configuration for Your Application
The Ultilivac® was intended to be a portable system. By keeping the material handling hoses as short as possible you will achieve the greatest efficiencies. The type of hopper used will be dictated by a number of factors specific to each project, and you may find that you need several hopper configurations to cover all possible situations. The following guide is suggested to help in selecting the proper hopper for the job.
Hopper Type: Utilivac VE-75 Hopper
Advantages:
- Light weight and very portable
- Designed specifically for excavation
- Simple to empty
- Material is kept off of the ground
- Dewatering attachment available
- Fast set up and break down
Typical Applications:
The hopper is ideal for most small to medium size excavations projects, including utility pot holing/ locating applications, smaller cleanerage utility pot hole will not fill a hopper, and the site is kept clean. The hopper is emptied by opening the door at the bottom. The empty hopper can be easily moved from location to location by tipping the hopper onto its wheels and rolling it. Applications involving large amounts of water, such as pot holes in areas of high water tables may require a dewatering attachment. This device allows water to be ejected from the hopper while solids remain.
Hopper Type: VE-55 High efficienacy drum packer.
Advantages:
- Light weight and very portable
- Direct drumming of material for disposal
Typical Applications: Drums are used when material needs to be hauled off site, or when material will be packed into
drums for disposal. Although the top of the VE-75 hopper fits the top of 55 gallon open top shipping
drums the VE-55 system provides better separation and allows drums to be filled to the top.
