Combination Tankers
What is a Combination Tanker?
A combination tanker serves a dual purpose and is a specialist piece of machinery that combines both powerful jetting and vacuum suction to clear and clean any drainage system.
Like a traditional vacuum tanker, combination tankers have a vacuum system to suck up liquids and sludges, however, it is also equipped with a high-pressure water jetting system.
The water jetting system provides a powerful stream of pressurized water, which is used for removing debris, grease, and other blockages from pipes, sewer lines, and drainage systems.
Combination tankers are versatile and efficient, as they can perform both suction and jetting operations, making them suitable for a wider range of tasks, including cleaning and maintenance of sewer systems and industrial equipment.

How Combination Tankers Work
The combination tanker is a specialised vehicle that integrates two essential functions: vacuum suction and high-pressure jetting.
This combination allows it to perform a wide range of cleaning and waste removal tasks efficiently.
Here's how a combination tanker works:
- The combination tanker is equipped with a powerful vacuum system similar to that of a standard vacuum tanker, consisting of a vacuum pump that creates a pressurised environment inside the tank.
- The vacuum system is connected to a nozzle, which once turned on, pushes the liquid, sludge, or waste material into the tanker through the suction hose.
- The pump operates pneumatically (by the use of air pressure and vacuums) and sucks up the waste material from where it is being stored into the tank of the truck using hoses and valves.
- Unlike in a standard vacuum tanker, a combination tanker is equipped with a high-pressure water jetting system comprising of a water tank, a high-pressure pump, and hoses with nozzles.
- The high-pressure pump pressurizes the water, which is used to clean surfaces, remove blockages, and dislodge debris in pipes, sewer lines, and other areas.
By combining vacuum suction and high-pressure jetting, the combination tanker offers versatility and efficiency in cleaning and waste removal.

Why KD Drainage?
Our tankers have the ability to remove and transport all liquid waste produce (including hazardous material) from drains, pits and ditches to name a few.
They are fitted with high-capacity hose reels and powerful vacuum suction.
They are also fitted with the latest and best technology to gather any data on the vehicle’s performance and act as a pre-warning for preventative action.
A versatile combination jetting and suction unit, Cappellotto’s CapCombi 2600 CL meets the high demands of industrial and domestic applications.
Its compact design on a 4.15 meters wheelbase disguises an impressive overall capacity of 15,100 litres (10,000 debris and 5,100 clean water split) that allows for maximum manoeuvrability whether in an urban or industrial setting.
Standard across all units is an impressive blower with 1,661 CFM output to enable the suction of product from significant depths or distance, and a high-pressure jetting pump delivering 73 gpm at 2,465 psi.
The CapCombi 2600 CL is designed to do the heavy lifting.
Designed with the operator’s safety and convenience in mind, the unit sports a 270° rotating boom extendable to 4.5 meters that holds 20 metres of 5” vacuum hose.
Integrated into the boom design is 160 meters of jetting hose that rotates along with the boom throughout its working area.
Its radio remote control system allows full command and control of the vehicle from a distance, so operators are not forced to split their attention between the control panel, located at the back of the vehicle, and their job.
Thus, our engineers are able to control the unit while monitoring the progress of the job at hand.
Recognising the importance of trying where possible to minimise any impact on the environment and delivering fuel savings, the vehicle is fitted with a remote stop/start function, both on the control panel and the radio remote control handset.
This enables the operator to engage and disengage the engine without disengaging the PTO, thus removing the need to leave the vehicle running for short periods when not in use.
Furthermore, unlike traditional vane pumps that require the continual replenishment of oil due to it being discharged into the atmosphere, the blower is not a total loss system.
This significantly reduces the amount of oil used as the oil in the blower is replaced infrequently and is dependent on usage.
Our combination tankers allow us to perform various tasks, including the cleaning and maintenance of sewer and drainage systems.
It can allow us handle waste removal and disposal in the most efficient and reliable way, such as collecting sewage, industrial waste, and cleaning out grease traps.
We work hard to meet all of your drainage requirements in the most cost-efficient way feasible, whilst measuring and tracking in real-time the suction and deep lifting process.
With over 25 years of experience and a proven track record, our combination tankers provide reliable solutions for the safe disposal of materials, so you know you are in safe hands.
