New JKE Off Road Re-cycler combi unit Vallely Tanker Engineering have just completed what they
believe is Europe’s first Off Road Water Recycling Combination
Unit. Towed and powered by the latest JCB FASTRAC 7230 with the 220bhp
engine. The unit was delivered to one of our offices servicing Severn
Trent Water.
Visitors to the DT Exhibition would have seen the extent to which
JKE have gone with the specification to meet the demands of their
multi £M contract with Severn Trent Water and 20 years after
building the UK’s first recycler, Vallely have shown just how
far recycling has been developed...
The unit was designed to gain access to the network sewer and drainage
system that is located “off road” sometimes in middle
of farmland and in all kinds of weather and conditions. The water
recycling system incorporates a primary separation and twin filtration
“patented” system which cleans the dirty water to less
than 200microns, incorporating the Pratissoli specially adapted MK
range producing 270litres per minute @ 2100psi. The system is continuous,
with the dirty water collected from the drain but not required for
jetting can be returned clean to the drain. The liquid ring vacuum
pump produces around 1,000cfm and powered from the Fastrac PTO via
a drawbar mounted transfer box. Both pumps can be switched separately
or used simultaneously. To make cleaning down the filtration system
easy for the operator, a fully automatic internal washdown facility
is standard with residue silt being returned to the main debris tank
via the vacuum system.
The Vallely pusher plate system, perfected for the Gully Emptiers,
has been incorporated to primarily separate and eject the debris.
An on-board CCTV system allows the operators to be self sufficient
in terms of being able to clean, camera and compile data in one visit.
This is vitally important as access to most locations where the unit
will be deployed would be inaccessible to most CCTV units.
Finally to facilitate night time working a 2000watt lighting system
complete with elevating tower and on board 6kva generator will provide
enough illumination to cover the whole extended work area. Vallely
are currently producing truck mounted recyclers incorporating the
new system and with an increasing order book the future looks good
for the next generation of recyclers.
DISAB demonstration
JK Environmental were asked by Balfour Beatty to demonstrate one of
our DISAB suction units moving Lytag aggregate. During the demonstration
we showed the DISAB sucking the Lytag using the DISAB boom and snorkel
systems. We then showed two methods of discharge, the 'high tip' and
the blowing using the distribution box.
