Werner Pumps recently handed over two high-pressure jetting truck units to Swakopmund Municipality where they have been put to work for sewer drain cleaning and sewer pump station maintenance in the coastal city.
The Werner Impi 10 000l Combination Vacuum and jetting truck and Werner Hippo 8000l jetting truck were both manufactured by Werner Pumps in South Africa at the company’s headquarters in Springs.
The Impi unit offers hydraulically operated jetting and vacuum functionality and is an effective solution for clearing sewer and stormwater lines, while the smaller Hippo unit offers jetting-only functionality with a high-pressure piston plunger. Both have a capacity of 295 litres per minute and a maximum pressure of 135 bar.
The Impi features a hydraulic slewing suction boom, two hydraulic-driven hose reels and multiple toolboxes. Both trucks offer safety features such as sight glasses and sludge level indicators, failsafe control panels and pressure-tested stainless steel tanks.
“It’s great to see the trucks being used extensively to improve sewer maintenance and repair,” says Sebastian Werner, MD at Werner Pumps. “We extended our footprint into Namibia only recently, but the vehicles are doing us proud and helping us to establish our reputation for quality equipment manufactured in southern Africa within the region.”
