Suction module

Back to diagram

How it works

The Suction module is used to pump the sludge on to the Recirculation module and to establish suction from the tank to be cleaned.

This module contains pre-filters, a vacuum pump and a centrifugal pump.

To optimise the process flow, the unit is situated as close to the tank sump as possible.

Pre-filters

Two parallel pre-filters protect the BLABO® system from becoming contaminated with coarse particles such as welding sticks, gloves and rags.
