Kademe vacuum trucks are manufactured with tank capacities ranging from 3,000 lt to 15,000 lt. Based on operational needs and field applications, the vehicles are offered in six models:

• KDM V3000: 3,000 lt tank, minimum 7.5 tons chassis
• KDM V4000: 4,000 lt tank, minimum 10 tons chassis
• KDM V6000: 6,000 lt tank, minimum 15 tons chassis
• KDM V8000: 8,000 lt tank, minimum 18 tons chassis
• KDM V12000: 12,000 lt tank, minimum 25 tons chassis
• KDM V15000: 15,000 lt tank, minimum 27 tons chassis

The tanks are constructed from high-strength ST 52 steel and internally coated with epoxy paint for long-term corrosion resistance. For specific customer requirements, AISI 304 stainless steel tanks are also available. Designed in a cylindrical shape, these tanks ensure the safe containment and transport of both sludge and liquid waste.

Each tank has a mechanically or hydraulically opened rear cover, and a hydraulic tank lift is available as an option, enabling fast, hygienic and efficient discharge in the field.

Kademe vacuum trucks are designed to efficiently extract waste accumulated in sewer systems using a high-performance vacuum system. This system handles both septic waste and thick sludge with ease. The vacuum is created by evacuating air from the tank, and the resulting negative pressure allows liquid waste to be suctioned directly from the source.

The air-cooled vacuum pumps (pallet or blower type) are powered by the vehicle’s power take-off (PTO) system, ensuring high operational efficiency. In certain models, an auxiliary engine can also be used as an alternative power source. Depending on the model, the vacuum pump delivers a capacity ranging from 300 m³/h to 6,500 m³/h. This wide capacity range offers flexibility for different waste densities and operational needs.

The discharge process is achieved by injecting pressurized air into the tank. During this operation, the rear cover is opened, enabling fast and efficient release of liquid and sludge waste. Special filters integrated into the system protect the vacuum pump from solid particles, extending its service life and improving overall reliability.

This dual-function vacuum and discharge system not only shortens operating time but also maximizes hygiene and safety in the field.

Kademe vacuum trucks are offered with flexible chassis configurations to meet varying field and operational requirements. They can be mounted on trucks with 4×2, 6×2 or 6×4 drive systems. This versatility ensures optimal performance both in narrow urban streets and in challenging off-road environments.

The integrated PTO system, with a shaft and belt pulley or an intermediate gearbox, is engineered to operate both the vacuum pump and the tank discharge system. Alternatively, certain models are available with auxiliary engine-driven systems in addition to PTO. This setup allows the vacuum system to function even when the vehicle engine is off, ensuring uninterrupted operation when needed.

Load handling and weight distribution are optimized according to the selected chassis. The body and tank structures are designed to work in full harmony with the technical specifications of the host vehicle. Equipment placement and installation are carried out in compliance with national regulations and vehicle modification standards.

This chassis integration provides long-term durability, reduced maintenance costs and a safe, well-balanced driving experience for operators.

Kademe vacuum trucks are equipped with an advanced discharge system designed to safely and efficiently empty collected waste. The wastewater and sludge are discharged either by injecting pressurized air into the tank or by opening the rear cover. The system operates with high-sealing gaskets, mechanical tailgate locks and six pneumatic discharge valves to prevent leakage, ensuring full environmental safety.

The rear tank cover can be opened mechanically or hydraulically and, optionally, operated in combination with a hydraulic tank lift. This is especially effective when unloading solid or sediment-heavy waste, as it prevents residues from remaining inside the tank. The interior surface of the tank is designed with an inclined structure to enable complete and smooth discharge of both liquids and settled debris.

An optional high-pressure washer supports the hygienic maintenance of the tank, hoses and vacuum lines. A high-pressure water line and strategically placed spray nozzles efficiently clean the inner surfaces of the tank. This supports compliance with hygiene and health regulations and extends the maintenance intervals of the equipment.

An optional suction hose reel is available for operations that involve long vacuum hoses. This reel system ensures smooth operation without tangling and can be controlled either manually or hydraulically.

Kademe vacuum trucks are widely used in municipal services, industrial facilities, organized industrial zones, resort towns, airports and large open spaces. These vehicles play a vital role in maintaining environmental hygiene by regularly cleaning septic pits, stormwater channels and sewer systems, ensuring the efficient operation of infrastructure networks.

Thanks to their high-performance vacuum system, these trucks quickly extract sludge, wastewater and solid-liquid waste mixtures into the tank. The combination of a high-capacity pump and negative pressure significantly enhances suction efficiency and reduces overall discharge time.

Kademe vacuum trucks are designed with operator comfort and ease of use in mind. They feature mechanical and pneumatic controls, hose cabinets on both sides and comprehensive safety equipment, including a beacon light, a projector and bicycle barriers, for secure operation even at night or in low-visibility conditions.

One of the key advantages of Kademe vacuum trucks is their mobility and rapid response capability. In emergency situations such as floods, sewer overflows or blockages, they can be quickly deployed to perform immediate drainage and cleaning. This makes them essential for routine maintenance and indispensable support vehicles during infrastructure-related crises.

Kademe vacuum trucks offer safe and efficient removal of septic waste, sludge and other liquid materials with tank capacities from 3,000 lt to 15,000 lt and vacuum capacities from 300 m³/h to 6,500 m³/h. The tanks are built from durable ST 52 steel with epoxy coating or from AISI 304 stainless steel for long-lasting, hygienic operation.

Powered by PTO or auxiliary engines, Kademe vacuum trucks can be equipped with a suction arm, a high-pressure washer and a suction hose reel, making them suitable for sewer, manhole and drain cleaning operations. With their robust design and operational flexibility, they are a strong choice for municipalities and sanitation service providers seeking durability, efficiency and performance in one vehicle.
