The VSM-500 is a 5 cum vacuum sweeper on a 12-ton GVW truck chassis, sized for higher-volume municipal routes than the smaller VSM-140 and VSM-300 models handle.
It is manufactured by Maniar & Co. in Ahmedabad, India. See all vacuum sweepers, or use the form below to get the full specification by email.
One main broom (500mm dia) and two side brooms (500mm dia) — all hydraulically rotated and hydraulically raised and lowered — sweep gravel, leaves, litter, and sand into the path of the suction hose. A high-efficiency, dynamically balanced blower draws that debris into a hydraulically operated hopper (5 cum, 3mm thk MS). The blower and hydraulic system are normally powered by the VSM-500's own auxiliary diesel engine; a PTO-driven alternative, taking power directly from the vehicle instead, is also available — similar to how the compact 1.4 cum model runs. Dust pulled in with the debris passes through 15 pleated filters (64 sq m filtration area) with an automatic pulse-jet cleaning cycle before the air is released. A 200-litre plastic water tank feeds a 12V DC battery-operated water pump to brass/SS spray nozzles on the side brushes, damping dust at the point of pickup. All controls, including broom up/down and rotation, hopper up/down, and PTO/blower on-off, are provided in the driver's cabin.
Mounted on a 12-ton GVW truck chassis, the VSM-500 carries a 5 cum hopper for higher-volume municipal routes, longer runs between dump cycles, and dustier conditions than the smaller VSM-140 and VSM-300 are built for. Its 12V DC battery-operated water pump keeps the water spray system running independent of engine load, and, like the VSM-300, its auxiliary diesel engine can be swapped for an optional PTO-driven setup for fleets standardising on PTO-driven equipment.
The VSM-500 has a 5 cum hopper, a sweeping width of 1600 mm (2300 mm with the side broom engaged) and a sweeping speed of 3 to 10 km/h. It is built on a 12 ton GVW BS VI chassis. For the complete specification, request it below and we will email it to you with photographs.
