This standard lays down the requirements for materials, construction, main components, and performance of power-driven, bucket-type machines used for cleaning underground sewers. It covers the engine, chassis, winch assembly, buckets, and essential safety features for procurement and manufacturing purposes.
Requirements for power-driven bucket-type sewer cleaning machine
Quick Reference Values
Minimum engine power15 kW
Minimum steel sheet thickness for bucket3.15 mm
Minimum winch pulling capacity25 kN
Maximum winch speed30 m/min
Minimum rope length150 m
Practical Notes
This code is primarily used for specifying and procuring new sewer cleaning machines by municipal corporations and public health departments.
The standard focuses on the machine's construction and performance, not its operational procedure in the field.
Verify that the machine's capacity (winch pull, bucket size) is suitable for the specific sewer diameters and expected debris load of the target network.
