Innovative tanker introduced at Truckfest10 May 2011

Whale Tankers' exhibited the largest and most sophisticated KAISERWhale ever produced by Whale when it exhibited the KAISERWhale dirty water recycler sewer cleaning vehicle at Truckfest.

Developed by the Midlands-based specialist manufacturer to the waste and cleaning industries in technical partnership with Kaiser AG, the KAISERWhale will stay onsite continuously recycling the dirty water removing the need to stop work to fill up with clean water. Whale says that this ability greatly improves operating efficiency, proving it really is the King of its species.

Hydro-Cleansing, the vehicle's customer, has specified a vehicle that is multi-functional, versatile and sophisticated, in part thanks to the Whale-integrated CAN-BUS/PLC logic operating system.

"Visitors to Truckfest were able to feast their eyes on a vehicle that was a true showstopper," says Mark Warmington, managing director at Whale Tankers. "Not only does the Hydro-Cleansing KAISERWhale look the part, the technology that is behind it is truly leading edge. I would argue that no vehicle of its type in this country comes close in terms of visual impact and operational capability."

The key features on the vehicle – branded Megatron by Hydro-Cleansing – include: ultra-high pressure jetting at 25,000 psi, capable of cutting concrete. The Kaiser KDU High Pressure Water pump assembly delivers the recycled water at a flow rate of up to 400LPM (maximum) and up to 200 bar, via a single-stage filtration system which is constantly cleaned by a spraybar, in addition the system has a selectable high pressure cleaning spray bar for when the going gets tough.

The vacuum system includes three-pumps for cost effective operating performance, two selectable Kaiser KWP3100i liquid ring pumps each delivering 3000m3/hr (1800cfm) at 85% maximum vacuum, and an additional Mistral 402 series exhauster compressor, piped for vacuum and pressure.
