Hydro Excavator HXX Prodigy
Based on the experience of its predecessor, the Vactor Hydro-excavator® - and several years of vacuum excavation research and testing - the new Vactor HXX Prodigy® vacuum excavator is the perfect non-destructive machine for utility and municipal applications. Versatile enough to excavate using either air or water as a digging medium, the Prodigy features a 16-inch Hg, 3200 CFM PD blower with a custom-designed and optimized filtration system that can handle both digging mediums, air (185 cfm/150 psi) and water (10 gpm/ 2500 psi), without a bag house. Featuring a compact, lightweight design, the Prodigy can carry up to 600 gallons of water and 6 cubic yards of debris and can perform in the toughest climatic and soil conditions, for more uptime and lower operating costs. And with the HXX Prodigy available with 6 inch hose and optional telescopic or extendable boom there is no more struggling with the less productive, harder to handle small 3-4 inch vacuum lines found on most trailer units. |
Hydro Excavator Fan
The fan air conveyance is preferred for many vacuum excavation applications because it moves an incredible amount of air, excavating more rapidly than other systems. It is easy to operate, and maintain, has a lower noise levels and adds less overall weight to the unit. It can also be more forgiving for less experienced operators. The centrifugal fan is ideal for most Hydroexcavation applications. |
Hydro Excavator PD
A positive displacement blower is used to move air in certain vacuum excavation applications because it can excavate over long distances and at incredible depths, but at a slower speed than fan units. The Hydro excavator PD® design features the Hibon 8702 Tri-Lobe blower with 28" Hg (mercury) and produces 5150 CFM. The modular, stand-alone cyclone provides easy access for maintenance. The HXX PD is ideal for oilfield work or large excavations. In both configurations, the simplified airflow path was designed to maximize pickup and filtration effectiveness while minimizing material pass through of the fan or blower causing premature wear and expensive repairs. |
