Without the suction excavator, the workers would be left with the laborious task of transporting rubble and earth out of the pit by wheelbarrow.

With a circulation of up to 44 000 m3 of air per hour and a maximum vacuum of just under 0.45 bar, the conveying capacity is quite considerable. The container is full within very short time
