2024 Vermeer® Vacuum Excavators VX50

This powerful and productive third-generation vac is ideal for production pothole applications and drill fluid management.

The VX50 series is a powerful and productive vacuum excavator, equipped with a 4-in (10.2-cm) suction hose and 1,025-cfm (29-m³/min) blower. It is extremely useful for production pothole applications and drill fluid management. This third-generation vacuum excavator features a 49-hp (36.5-kW) Tier 4 Final Kubota diesel engine and is available with a 500-gal (1,893-L), 800-gal (3,028-L) or 1,200-gal (4,543-L) debris tank.

Features may include:

• Delivers a high-pressure water spray to the tank interior, helping to simultaneously dump material and clean the inside of the tank. Minimizes cleanup time and helps remove difficult debris.

• Engineered to help prolong filter and blower life, the system is suitable for wet and dry applications. The cyclones use a tuned vortex system in which the outer vortex spiral forces small particles to fall into a separate canister. The filtered stream then passes up through the inner cyclone tube and is carried to the final poly filter.

• Provides a 360-degree positive seal, even under reverse pressure without additional clamping requirements. The highly reliable cam-over door has no in-tank moving parts, so all maintenance is external.

• Remote fluid drains and grease points are centrally-located near operator controls for ease of service.

• Keeps proper belt tensions at all times and helps extend belt life.

• Hang the suction hose on the side of the machine when moving between jobsites instead of coiling or disconnecting it, optimizing productivity.
