Overview:
The Bucher Recycler RM120 is a high-performance recycling sewer cleaning unit, designed to deliver continuous jetting and vacuuming by re‐using the water extracted from the sewer line. That means far fewer refills, less downtime, and a more environmentally friendly operation — ideal for contractors working in both municipal and commercial drainage environments.
Key Features & Benefits:
Continuous water recycling system: A 5-step automatic filtration setup cleans used water to ~200 microns and makes it reusable for jetting operations—helping reduce fresh water usage and operational delays.
Tank size & flexibility: With a nominal tank volume of approx. 12 m³ (2,639 UK gallons) and 1 bar (14.5 psi) pressure rating, the RM120 gives a good balance of capacity and manoeuvrability.
Jetting and vacuum capability:
Jetting pump: Uraca KD 718G delivering approx. 390 l/min at 140 bar (85 UK gpm @ 2,030 psi).
Vacuum pump: CVS VacuStar 1600, approx. 26,666 l/min (5,865 UK gpm) free flow.
Hose reels & suction cassette:
Jetting hose configuration: 150 m (492 ft) of 5/4″ hose; 50 m (164 ft) of ¾″; 60 m (196 ft) of ½″ – all thermoplastic and mounted hydraulically.
Suction cassette: 5″ hose with a 2 m (7-ft) extension.
Moveable internal partition: The tank features a partition which allows flexible separation of clean water and sludge, optimising the water/sludge ratio and improving equipment efficiency.
Operator convenience & build quality:
Control panels mounted on rear and sides for full job-site access.
Hygienic comforts: built-in hand wash facility, tool and hose storage cabinets/shelves.
Durable tank construction: Steel tank with an 8-step painting process achieving corrosion class C3 and ~20+ year service life.
