If you manage a wastewater treatment plant or work in municipal services, you know that dealing with sludge, blockages, and overflow is no small task. This is where vacuum trucks come in—and Camjet is here to help!

What Do Vacuum Trucks Do in Sewage Treatment?
Simply put: vacuum trucks are the workhorses of the wastewater industry. They use high-powered suction to remove liquids, sludges, and solids from tanks, pipelines, and sewers.
Key Roles of Vacuum Trucks
Sludge Removal: Regular removal prevents overflows and ensures plant efficiency.
Emergency Spill Response: Quick clean-up during unexpected overflows or pipe bursts.
Pipeline & Sewer Cleaning: High-pressure water jetting combined with suction clears out blockages.
Transport of Hazardous Waste: Safely transporting waste to designated disposal sites.
With years of experience serving South African municipalities and industries, Camjet’s fleet of vacuum trucks is ready for projects both big and small.
