KeeVac manufactured the FD Series of slide-in vacuum tanks with flanged and dished heads for operators who require rugged equipment to trek off the beaten path.
“We had customers experiencing cracking in the interior water tanks, rendering the tank useless and out of commission,” says Jessica Villareal, marketing director for KeeVac. “The FD tanks are built for rough duty service on off-road service routes.”
Each FD series tank is constructed of 5454-H32 marine-grade mill-finish aluminum. Two configurations are available: one with the pump located on the rear of the tank and the other with it positioned on the side and set up for a conventional mount. The tanks feature a side-by-side construction that can be manufactured to the customer’s capacity needs.
“The tanks offer a full 20-inch manway for ease of cleaning and servicing, as well as the capability to customize the waste and water compartment splits for customers who need more or less water for servicing their routes,” Villareal says.
FD tanks come ready to work with a Condé Super 6 vacuum pump and Tiger Tail suction hose. Two 5-inch sight eyes are mounted on the tanks for easy visual inspection and customers can add an optional power-twin washdown pump with hose and spray nozzle.
All units come with a kit containing a 2-inch, 90-degree male camlock for an option to replace the factory installed straight camlock on the bucket fill, 20 feet of red 6-gauge battery cable to wire the unit’s battery to a vehicle battery, and a 2-inch female camlock to garden hose adapter for freshwater fill through the bucket fill.
Users appreciate the versatility of the tanks, Villareal says. The design makes the tanks a good fit for portable sanitation, septic or grease trap service, she says.
“These tanks take after the large vacuum tanks that everyone uses, but they are lightweight which makes them ideal for smaller trucks,” Villareal says. “Adapting the technology available in the larger tanks to a smaller-scale tank creates a variety of opportunities for customers. They offer a small footprint that can be mounted to a truck or trailer for access to more locations.” 866-789-9440; www.keevac.com
