2014年2月18日 · Vacuum excavators have become a common site on horizontal directional drilling (HDD) jobs these days. A vacuum excavator is two machines in one compact package: a vacuum excavator using “soft” excavation technology to make precisely controlled excavations, and a powerful vacuum for multipurpose clean-up tasks.

2021年9月16日 · Vacuum excavators are used for potholing to help expose and visibly confirm the exact location of buried utilities and verify no damage to existing utility lines occurred, or in some cases watch the drilling head pass the existing utility

2016年7月19日 · Vacuuming allowed for least resistance to the internal atmosphere while spinning a hard drive. Because of the tight tolerances, I'd imagine high density gases in 'air' could cause turbulence and resistivity, while helium is a seemingly better compromise. Ask a science question, get a science answer.

2024年9月23日 · This is where vacuum excavation shines – offering a non-destructive and precise method for exposing and locating underground utilities before and during the HDD bore. To maximize jobsite safety and productivity, following vacuum excavation best practices is essential to mitigate risks, prevent costly damages and protect HDD crews.

2021年11月29日 · When space is tight or using pumps is not an option for moving mud, reclaimers and vacuum excavators are the perfect combination to complement larger HDDs. Managing the mud on large-diameter HDD projects varies from project to project because no two jobsites are the same.

2022年7月1日 · On a horizontal directional drill (HDD) site, selecting the right vacuum excavator for the jobsite can affect your crew’s productivity. They offer invaluable ways to help keep your jobsite maintained and helping to avoid damage to existing utilities by offering visual verification of utility placement.

Our HDD vacuum excavators are the most versatile, powerful systems ever configured for vacuuming directional drilling fluids and potholing activities. HDD vacuum excavators combine high-pressure water and vacuum capabilities into a compact package for proven performance, exceptional resistance to wear and abrasion, and superior filtration.

By allowing the use of vacuum in an HDD enclosure, it extends the benefits of Helium (lower power, higher track densities), but also has the potential to reduce the HMS, making MAMR more effective and potentially resolving many of the challenges associated with HAMR. It even promises to make BPM easier to manufacture.

2021年9月14日 · By completely removing all gases (air or helium) inside the drive enclosure and replacing the traditional flying heads design with a fully active z-actuator, L2 Drive estimates that it can further reduce the gap between the heads and the magnetic media thus increasing HDD capacities by up to 4X and enabling HDDs capacities as high as 50 TB or more.

2016年8月2日 · The Ditch Witch organization designs vacuum excavators to meet the needs of any job — from truck-mounted excavators for urban utility job sites, to trailer-mounted excavators for elongated projects, and with air- and hydroexcavation capabilities.
