EMISSIONS REDUCTION
SECA offers customised fitouts for vehicles to cover the hybrid option with the emission free jetter.
SECA promotes emissions reductions with the eCityJet electric jetting machine This van-packed jetter is the world’s first high pressure sewer jetting machine to be fully powered by a high energy density lithium-ion battery.
T
he eCityJet is a fully electric jetting machine incorporating the newest technology with an electric motor powered by a battery pack. The machine generates zero emissions, making it a futureconscious choice, and ideally suited as a van-pack for use in city centres where strict emissions requirements apply. The eCityJet has all the features of a conventional diesel-driven van-pack machine but offers emission-free operation without compromising on performance. The eCityJet is also virtually silent during operation. As well as a cleaner choice, electric technology is quieter than diesel operated machinery, making it ideal for urban, indoor or night-time use.

The machine weighs 690 kg when empty and is most suited for cleaning pipes with diameters of up to 350 mm. Lightweight and compact, the eCityJet is suitable for most vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries have the highest energy density, making them the most efficient in terms of weight and space and ideal for mobile application. The eCityJet battery is chargeable through regular mains. While use at full power is designed to last just over 1 hour, customers have reported using the machine over 2 or 3 days on 12-14 jobs on a single charge. Enter the Hybrid Jetting & Inspection Vehicle Since releasing the eCityJet, SECA has fitted out the jet-packer into a fully customised Hino
Hybrid Truck. Hino has improved the design of its diesel electric hybrid system to maximise efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and provide owners with a low-maintenance and trouble-free driveline. The components that support the hybrid system have been redesigned to reduce weight and take up less space and deliver greater performance. SECA has also fitted out the hybrid truck with its Rovion crawler system. The Rovion CCTV inspection system is Australasia’s most popular CCTV pipe inspection system, for small and large pipes. This mobile crawler is designed to reduce setup times without the use of tools. All components are individually pressurized and
