Industrial Vacuum Services
A suction excavator or vacuum excavator is a construction vehicle that removes earth from a hole on land, or removes heavy debris on land, from various places by powerful suction through a wide suction pipe which is up to a foot or so diameter. The suction inlet air speed may be up to 100 metres a second (224 mph). Excavating with a suction excavator may be called "vacuum excavation" or "hydro excavation" if a water jet is used. We at Aus Industrial have developed machines that can suck debris up to 400m away, with a capacity of 30 tonnes per hour. This unique machine dumps straight into a trailer, skip or anywhere lower than 4m, depending on the machine specification.
​
Vacuum excavation (also known as suction excavation) is considered a best practice for safely locating and witnessing underground utilities, reducing the chance of utility strikes by more than half.

Industries where the machine are used:
​
Mining, Steels Mills, Wood/Paper/Pulp, Power Plants, Bulk Material,
Nuclear/Asbestos Industrial Vacuum Cleaning, Cement Plants,
General Industrial Foundry Chip & Wafer, Brick/Refractory and many more!
Hydro Demolition
Hydro Demolition removes the concrete only down to a present 'quality depth', leaving a jagged or craggy surface that provides an extensive bonding area. Jackhammers tend to leave a flatter surface, with fewer peaks and valleys and therefore, less bonding area.
Another advantage of hydro demolition is that it removes damaged concrete several times faster than jackhammers - and users have found that it can be up to 25 times faster. Directing high-velocity water jets against a surface to produce a destructive effect has long been successfully used for the high-speed cutting or drilling of rocky materials and particularly concrete. Hydro demolition developed from the uses of high-pressure water for drilling, cutting or hole-making in concrete.
