Satellite Industries liked what they saw in a lineup of modular vacuum sanitation units out of the Netherlands, so they decided to acquire the company, forming Satellite Sanitrax. With the acquisition, Satellite now offers a line of Sanitrax portable units including a vacuum flush toilet, washbasin, urinal and shower.
“The modular technology fits seamlessly in Satellite’s product line,” says John Babcock, president of Satellite Industries. “It fills the gap between restroom trailers and portables as a middle ground on-land vacuum technology solution that provides freshwater with every flush.”
All products within the Sanitrax lineup are based on a retractable concept for compact transportation. “PROs can transport 78 toilets on one standard flatbed,” Babcock says. “We hear that operators in the field love the efficient and quick deployment. Setting up takes just a few hours.”
All Sanitrax modules feature collapsible galvanized steel frames and fiberglass interiors. The restroom houses three toilets and the washbasin consists of one sink, two full width stainless steel mirrors, eight taps, four soap dispensers, two hand towel dispensers and four waste bins.
The restroom module, washbasin, urinal and shower unit each weigh between 1,650 to 1,750 pounds and to assure easy stacking and transportation, they share the same dimensions. Collapsed, they measure roughly 100 inches long by 47 inches wide and 57 inches tall. When in use, the units measure roughly 100 inches long by 47 inches wide and 92.5 inches tall.
According to the company, Satellite Sanitrax restrooms use 90% less water to remove solid waste and can carry it up to 600 feet from the unit. “The efficient modular system makes Sanitrax ideal for festivals, fairs, humanitarian aid, and military operations,” Babcock says. “Anywhere portable restrooms and sanitation equipment are most needed.”
Babcock says Sanitrax modules are out and being used. “You can find them up and running at golf outings, outdoor concerts, humanitarian disaster relief efforts and more,” he says. “PROs have told us they appreciate how easy they are to keep clean and looking sleek.”
Monitoring capabilities are also built-in using an app to track of units. Once Sanitrax is set, you can monitor the systems remotely and if any issues arise, operators will be notified immediately. 800-833-1123; www.satelliteindustries.com
