The KO-507AM sludge suction machine is a special device, similar to the KO-505A vacuum machine, designed for vacuum cleaning of cesspools, wells, septic tanks, sewer networks, settling tanks from oil sludge or sludge, as well as transporting them to the unloading site. This equipment is a metal tank mounted on a wheelbase, having a hose, a vacuum pump, a pneumatic and hydraulic system, and additional electrical equipment.
Operating principle of the sludge sucker
Pumping out sediments and contaminants, carried out using a suction pump, occurs in several stages. First of all, the equipment drives as close as possible to the place where this work is required. After that, a flexible hose is unwound, with the help of which dirt and deposits are sucked in, lowered, for example, into a well or cesspool, and the vacuum pump is turned on.
When the suction pump is operating, one of the compartments in the tank is filled with waste waste. As the sludge compartment fills, the water contained in the contaminants flows into the adjacent compartment, which is intended for sludge liquid. The operator can control its level. Excess water is removed through the drain pipe. The pumping process does not take long. Then, the sludge filled with sewage is sent to the unloading site.
Types of sludge suckers
Depending on the brand of automobile chassis, design and purpose, there are four main types of sludge disposal systems:
- KO 507 - a Kamaz-based sludge pump is used for pumping out contaminants from drainage systems, as well as for subsequent transportation to the place of disposal and unloading.
- -
based sludge pump designed for vacuum cleaning of sewer systems. The specific design of the tank allows for the separation of water from sludge, for subsequent drainage of the water back into the sewer. - KO 524 based on MAZ is a sludge pump for vacuum pumping of septic tanks and cesspools, as well as for cleaning sewer systems from contaminants. It has a sealed tank that prevents the leakage of sewage.
- The sludge cleaner KO 530, based on Kamaz and Maz
vehicle chassis , is a vacuum machine for mechanical cleaning of sewer systems.

Device
Sludge cleaner ko 507 uses a unique vacuum method for cleaning sewers, cesspools and treatment facilities. The main element of the equipment is the chassis, which is responsible for moving the entire sludge suction system. The collected waste is stored in a tank. Sludge collection and unloading is carried out by sequentially launching a vacuum and pressure system. The tank itself is internally divided into two blocks. The front unit is filled with clean water, while the rear unit collects sludge and silt liquid. During transportation, solid sludge deposits move to the rear of the tank, and liquid settles in the front of the block. That is why waste is discharged through the back cover. For better cleaning of the container, you can install a mechanical piston, which forcibly pushes contaminants out.
The suction hose of the suction cleaner is equipped with a boom with a winch. These devices provide control of the hose and its fixation on the tank during transportation. The hose is controlled and its position is changed from the cabin using special devices located on the panel.
The sludge pump KO 507 allows you to install additional equipment for filtering and cleaning the collected sludge. This system processes sludge so that the output is process water. It can be used for public utility needs.

If you have a plot of land or a private house on the territory of which there are artificial or natural reservoirs, this is probably not the first time you have encountered the problem of cleaning them. It often happens that after spring floods the bottom of reservoirs silts up and needs to be cleaned. This can lead not only to an increase in the danger of operating such facilities, but also to a deterioration in the quality of water in reservoirs, which can negatively affect your health if you consume water from them, as well as flora and fauna. In this case, the owner has several options.
- manually clean the pond using special equipment. In most cases, this is a very labor-intensive process that may be associated with certain dangers;
- use the services of companies that have suction pumps.
Most often, people are inclined to the second option, since real professionals are able to quickly and efficiently complete the entire volume of work, unlike people who are doing this for the first time. Today we will talk about what types of suction pumps there are, list the most common models, and also name their technical characteristics.
Installation cannot be done independently. You definitely need a car that will transport the tank, the installation itself and other equipment. Most often, silt suckers are installed on KAMAZ, ZIL and MAZ chassis. Main types:
- KO 507;
- KO 510;
- KO 524;
- Ko 530.
Let's talk about each of them in more detail.

The operator also has the ability to constantly monitor the sludge level in the tank according to the device readings. As soon as the permissible level is exceeded, pumping automatically stops.
The sludge pump KO 507 allows you to install additional equipment for filtering and cleaning the collected sludge. This system processes sludge so that the output is process water. It can be used for public utility needs.\
Sludge pumps (IVR) are used on secondary radial settling tanks of the biological wastewater treatment system and are designed to remove settling activated sludge. Operating conditions – moderate climate U1 (-45…+450 C) according to GOST 15150-69. The main model range is IVR-16, IVR-18, IVR-20, IVR-24, IVR-28, IVR-30, IVR-40.
A distinctive feature of the equipment are the following technical solutions that serve to improve performance characteristics, reduce operating costs and increase service life:
The design must be tied to the dimensions of the existing building part of the sump. This allows installation work to be carried out in a short time without adjusting parts and assemblies “in place”;
The design is more stable and rigid compared to the standard one. This is achieved by using a high-strength bridge truss and a motion drive trolley on 2 wheels (the mass of the moving part is distributed over 3 points - the wheels and the central support). The stability of the structure ensures ease of maintenance of the sump, increases the service life of bearings and wheels;
The design of the bridge truss eliminates the possibility of deformation during operation, which does not require additional reinforcement (unlike a standard bridge);
The standard delivery set includes a control cabinet and a current collector with top power supply.
High-quality imported components are used - geared motors complete with frequency converters "NORD", Germany (N in the designation). A frequency converter is used to adjust the required speed and ensure a smooth start (M in the designation);
The motion drive trolley is equipped with 2 wheels from a forklift with solid “superelastic” tires that can withstand loads of up to 3000 kg and have high wear resistance (2 in the designation);
A device is installed to clear snow from the treadmill (C in the designation), which prevents freezing of the treadmill;
The equipment has a Declaration of Conformity with the requirements of the technical regulations of the Customs Union TR CU 010/2011 “On the safety of machinery and equipment.”

Sludge cleaner KO-510
The technical characteristics of the KO-510 are best suited for installing it on a ZIL chassis, since this vehicle has the necessary carrying capacity, and in this case fuel will not be wasted. Unlike KO-560, which can only be installed on KAMAZ (kommash) due to its significant weight.
Main technical characteristics of the suction pump and vacuum cleaner:
| Options: | Vacuum truck | Sludge cleaner KO 507A2 on KamAZ 65115 chassis |
| Capacity, m3 | 5 and 10 (two types) | 7 |
| Cleaning depth, m | 4 | 6 |
| Vacuum pump capacity, m3/h | 310 | 720 |
| Hose length, m | From 4 to 12 | From 4 to 18 |
When choosing between a suction pump and a vacuum cleaner, take into account the totality of all parameters and circumstances. When pumping out liquid waste, order a vacuum cleaner. If, in addition to pumping, flushing is needed, a suction pump will be required.
An important parameter is not only the maximum depth from which special equipment can pump out waste and wastewater, but also the length of the hose. Also take into account the availability of the closest possible access and the distance to the tank. Choose equipment with a longer hose if waste needs to be pumped out from a deep basement that is difficult to access.
The length of the hoses of the vacuum cleaners is quite sufficient to pump out wastewater from septic tanks, cesspools, wells in private areas, as well as from tanks of car washes and industrial facilities. If there is thick sediment in the wastewater, then choose a suction pump.
