High-pressure sewer jetting pumps
High pressure at the service of sewer network maintenance
Maintaining sewer networks calls for powerful, constant water jets, capable of removing blockages and residues while keeping the pipes efficient at all times. It is in this type of activity that high-pressure pumps find one of their most demanding uses: sewer jetting puts the pump to the test with intensive, prolonged work cycles, where reliability and resistance make the difference between continuous service and costly machine downtime.
Mixtron high-pressure pumps are designed precisely for municipal applications, where efficiency and versatility are decisive. As well as ensuring powerful cleaning of roads, squares and public areas, they facilitate the maintenance of sewer networks, helping to keep the systems free from blockages at all times. The result is a more reliable service, with reduced running costs and greater efficiency of public services.
On this page we look at how a high-pressure pump works when applied to sewer jetting and which criteria to consider when choosing the most suitable one. For the commercial overview dedicated to the sector, the Mixtron page on municipal applications is always available.
How a high-pressure pump for sewer jetting works
In sewer jetting the pump must generate a powerful and, as far as possible, regular flow: it is precisely the flow pulsations that affect the wear of the nozzles and seals, that is, of the components most stressed during jetting. Mixtron high-pressure pumps meet this need with a rotary piston system, which ensures more homogeneous delivery compared with a classic triplex system and reduces the pulsations that would accelerate the deterioration of the parts in contact with the water.
On the mechanical side, the Alpha series adopts an inclined swashplate with multiple pistons that gives the pump a more regular flow rate, less subject to vibration. The direct flanging onto the electric motor shaft avoids the use of additional components such as the constant-velocity joint, making the solution more compact and economical. The result is a pump with extremely contained vibration and noise, a not insignificant advantage when operating in urban contexts and close to public areas.
Resistance and durability in the most demanding conditions
Sewer jetting means intensive work cycles and contact with water that is anything but clean. Here the materials count: Mixtron pumps combine technopolymers, which offer greater lightness and better corrosion resistance, with steel where robustness and reliability are needed. The technopolymer structure with high chemical resistance makes them compatible with limescale water and aggressive water, significantly extending their service life compared with traditional brass or aluminium pumps. Depending on the model, the metal inserts in brass or stainless steel also guarantee resistance to oxidation and saline corrosion.
Less machine downtime, more service continuity
For a public service or a sewer jetting operator, every machine stop is a cost. Mixtron high-pressure pumps stand out for their ease of installation and maintenance, guaranteeing optimal operating efficiency and reducing machine downtime. All products are also patented, an expression of the constant research that Mixtron devotes to its solutions.
How to choose the high-pressure pump for sewer jetting
There is no single model suitable for every job: the choice depends on the required flow rate, the operating pressure and the operating conditions of the vehicle or system on which the pump is installed. Mixtron high-pressure pumps are made with an axial piston pumping system and must be coupled to an electric motor by direct flanging, a configuration designed to optimise dimensions and simplify integration.
The starting criterion is sizing: flow rate and pressure must be matched to the type of pipe to be cleaned and to the intensity of use. To this is added the compatibility of the materials with the water being handled, where the high-chemical-resistance technopolymers and the metal inserts guarantee durability even in the presence of aggressive or limescale water.
The Alpha range for municipal applications
For the municipal sector Mixtron offers the Alpha series of high-pressure pumps, available in numerous flow rate and configuration variants. The complete list of models used in this sector, with their codes, can be consulted on the page dedicated to municipal applications, where each product links to its technical data sheet.
To navigate the variants, you can use the Find Product tool , while the Mixtron consultancy service supports the operator in choosing the most suitable configuration, right through to a tailored quotation.
Mixtron, reliable high pressure for urban maintenance
In sewer jetting and sewer network cleaning the pump is the heart of the operation: the effectiveness of the jet and the continuity of service depend on its flow regularity and its long-term resistance. Mixtron high-pressure pumps, designed and manufactured entirely in Italy and patented, combine homogeneous delivery, corrosion-resistant materials and reduced machine downtime, offering operators and public services a tool they can rely on job after job.
Whether it is a matter of equipping a jetting vehicle or replacing an existing pump, the Mixtron team supports the customer in sizing and choosing the configuration best suited to their use.
