About Vehicle mounted Drain Cleaning System
The Vehicle Mounted Drain Cleaning System is a Mechanized Scavenging System consisting of 3 modules namely – (i) Recycled Slurry Water Unit (ii) Closed Loop Feed Back System (iii) Post Cleaning Inspection System.
What are the benefits of the system?
It will resolve the huge challenge associated with eradication of manual scavenging from India.
The adoption of the technology across the nation will help create regional manufacturing hubs which consequently will help drastically improve the employment scenario and economic prospects across the Nation.
The pricing of the technology is much cost-effective when compared to the existing Technologies and even more so relative to the imported variants.
It holds the potential to be the ‘Game-Changer’ in the domain of Waste Management and help realise the Vision of the Prime Minister of India of a ‘Zero-Landfill India’.
