New Distributor for the RioCom in South America
The first RioCom jetvac combi for the South American market was recently shipped to our new distributor in Chile. Sales Director Mark Cox journeyed across the Atlantic to meet the team and provide handover training.
Rioned is delighted to welcome Orbitec to our global network of distributors. Based in Santiago, Chile, the equipment supplier, provides specialist equipment for the municipal, sanitary, infrastructure, industrial and firefighting sectors. The RioCom 7.5t jetvac is the first Rioned product introduced to their extensive range and we hope it may be the first of many.
Orbitec has a fantastic team dedicated to putting drainage contractors' needs first, with customised equipment and comprehensive after-sales services, including maintenance and spare parts.
At the end of February, a presentation was held for the staff at Orbitec to introduce the RioCom JetVac Combination Unit. The presentation was conducted by Mark Cox and Pedro Schiavi Stoiber, the general manager of Orbitec.
Mark Cox said the response from the team was extremely positive: “As the first compact jetvac tanker of its kind introduced to Chile, I think it offers something new. Having spent a bit of time with the Orbitec team and a few of their customers, I can see there is scope for this machine to improve the efficiency of some drainage operations in the country.”
Why should the contractors in Chile be interested?
The 7.5t RioCom is compact, manoeuvrable and designed for everyday use. It is particularly suited to operating in busy, congested cities such as Santiago, providing a performance capacity similar to larger jetvac tankers, with a 3000 lt partitioned tank and ample secure storage.
The high-pressure pump offers jetting at 2200psi @22gpm in pipes up to 650mm, and when combined with a powerful Jurop PNR82 vacuum pump delivering 1800gpm, cleans the most polluted pipes, grease traps, water wells and flooded basements with ease.
The unit also includes a remote control unit and eControl+ machine management system for simplified single-person operations.
