Industrial vacuum unit
Tarua® Vacuum
TARUA® VACUUM is a compact, modular industrial vacuum unit for sludge suction, washing, dewatering and storage — ready for immediate deployment. Designed by IDEE E PRODOTTI, it integrates patented vacuum pump technology into a fully customisable platform — built to fit your vehicle and your work. The professional alternative to a vacuum truck for operators who need power, flexibility and access where heavy equipment cannot go.
what does it solve
When a vacuum truck is too much — and a standard pump is not enough
Traditional vacuum trucks are powerful, but they come with constraints: high purchase and operating costs, a size that restricts access in urban areas, restricted traffic zones and confined spaces, and efficiency that drops as the tank fills. A standard pump, on the other hand, handles suction but nothing more — no sludge management, no modularity, no system.
Tarua ® Vacuum fills exactly the gap between the two. It delivers the suction capacity and operational continuity of a vacuum truck in a compact, vehicle-mounted portable vacuum pump system — without the cost, the size, or the tank constraint.
The Tarua ® pump generates vacuum independently and works continuously: it draws and discharges simultaneously, without stopping. Detach the pump from the platform and bring it directly to the suction point — zero pressure drop, maximum efficiency even in the tightest spaces.
strengths
Continuous suction — no tank constraint
Detachable pump — work at the suction point
Fits any vehicle in your existing fleet
Modular and scalable to your operation
As powerful as a vacuum truck — at a fraction of the cost
Tarua ® Vacuum: a complete portable industrial vacuum system, configured around your vehicle
Tarua ® Vacuum is not a product you buy off the shelf. It is a portable industrial vacuum system designed around your operation — your vehicle, your clients, your daily workflow.
Every configuration starts from the Tarua ® pump and expands from there: platform tailored to your van, pickup, truck or trailer; cistern options from 1,000 litres upward; pressure washer, hose reel, control panel and tool compartments as required. For operators who want full on-site sludge management, the system integrates DRY BOX® (an on-site sludge dewatering unit by IDEE E PRODOTTI) to reduce disposal volume and costs directly at the point of intervention.
The result is a slide-in vacuum unit that works where a vacuum truck cannot reach — and costs a fraction of one.
applications
Portable septic pump-out, sewer maintenance
and industrial sludge removal: where Tarua ® Vacuum works
Environmental service operators
Expand your fleet without buying a new vacuum truck. Tarua ® Vacuum is a lightweight, flexible complement to your existing vehicles — ideal for jobs in restricted access areas, inner courtyards, basements and low-traffic zones where heavy equipment cannot operate. Collect sludge from multiple sites and consolidate collection in a single disposal trip.
Micro-collection and scheduled maintenance
The professional solution for service companies operating on recurring contracts with garages, apartment buildings, small businesses and industrial facilities. Tarua® Vacuum operates on any vehicle independently without requiring dedicated heavy transport or mandatory certification for large tankers. Fully modular: configure for vacuum only, or add washing, storage and on-site dewatering.
Sewer and drain cleaning
Maintain sewer networks — public and private — where combination jet-vac trucks cannot reach: underground manholes, narrow conduits, residential courtyards and urban areas with access restrictions. The Tarua ® pump detaches from the platform and reaches the exact suction point directly, eliminating pressure drop and cutting intervention time.
Industrial and civil plant maintenance
Scheduled emptying of tanks, sumps, equalisation basins and pipelines in industrial plants, treatment facilities and civil infrastructure. Electric motor-driven operation ensures safe, clean use in enclosed, sensitive or emission-restricted environments. A complete pumpout system for continuous, efficient sludge management without operational interruption.
Septic tank pump-out services
A portable septic pump solution for operators servicing areas without public sewer connection — rural, peri-urban and isolated sites. Compact enough to access difficult locations, powerful enough to handle thick sludge and solid-laden waste without clogging or interruption.

Flexible configuration:
from the Tarua ® pump to a complete industrial vacuum system
1 – Tailored to your vehicle
You do not need to buy a new vehicle or radically modify your existing fleet. Tarua ® Vacuum is engineered to fit the vehicle you already own — van, pickup, truck or special vehicle. We start from what you have and custom-design the platform around it, optimising weight distribution, footprint and attachment systems.
The modular design ensures safe, straightforward transportation. Installation is configured to maximise available space and ensure ergonomic equipment handling. Fixed or removable configurations available — whichever fits your workflow best.
2 – The operating platform: compact, powerful, modular
Tarua® Vacuum is a complete slide-in vacuum unit designed to operate where traditional vacuum trucks and self-purging equipment cannot reach.
The system is composed of:
– Tarua ® pump — continuous vacuum generation with long-distance discharge capability
– Custom-engineered platform — designed around your vehicle and working method
– Professional options — pressure washer, electrical panel, hose reel, tool compartments
– Modular cistern options — from 1,000 litres upward depending on operational volume
– DRY BOX® integration (an on-site sludge dewatering unit by IDEE E PRODOTTI) — for operators who want to reduce sludge volume and disposal costs directly at the point of intervention
Thanks to the detachable pump system, you can operate independently of the vehicle and bring the Tarua® pump directly to the suction point — no pressure drop, no lost efficiency, no wasted time.
3 – Sludge under control: you choose how to manage it
With Tarua® Vacuum, suction is just the beginning. The system gives you full control over sludge management — adapted to your operating environment and disposal strategy. You can choose from:
– Direct discharge — to on-site decanters, sumps or treatment points within your intervention area
– 1,000-litre cistern — for agile micro-collection and low-volume operations
– Larger cistern — for consistent sludge volumes and fewer disposal trips
– DRY BOX® on-site dewatering unit — to reduce sludge volume at source, cutting transport and disposal costs
A complete pumpout system that adapts to every intervention: from scheduled plant maintenance to urban sewer cleaning, from micro-collection to full sludge management operations.
The story behind Tarua® Vacuum
Tarua ® Vacuum was born from listening directly to operators working in the field every day. What we heard was consistent: the market does not need another pump. It needs a system that solves the whole problem — suction, management, disposal — without compromise and without a dedicated vehicle.
Our approach is straightforward: you tell us your operation, we design your system. Every Tarua ® Vacuum configuration is built around your work — your vehicle, your clients, your intervention contexts — using patented Tarua ® pump technology and proven modular components.
The result is not a product you adapt your work to. It is a portable industrial vacuum system that adapts to you — flexible, expandable and ready to evolve as your service grows.
With Tarua ® Vacuum, IDEE E PRODOTTI turns a real operational need into a concrete, tailored and immediately deployable solution.

Tarua ® Vacuum:
answers to the most common questions
Why choose Tarua® Vacuum instead of a vacuum truck?
Tarua ® Vacuum is lighter, more flexible and eliminates the tank constraint that limits traditional vacuum trucks and vacuum tankers. The Tarua ® pump generates vacuum independently and works continuously — suction and discharge happen simultaneously, without stopping to empty the tank. You can access sites where a vacuum truck cannot reach, operate in confined and restricted spaces, and deliver the same service at a fraction of the cost.
Can Tarua ® Vacuum completely replace a vacuum truck?
In many operational contexts, yes. For targeted interventions, micro-collection, industrial and civil facilities maintenance, and sewer and drain cleaning, Tarua ® Vacuum is a fully viable alternative. For operators who already own a vacuum truck, it works as a strategic complement — extending service capability into areas and interventions where heavy equipment cannot go, without additional vehicle investment.
What is the difference between Tarua ® Vacuum and Tarua ® Emergency?
Both are integrated pumping systems built around the Tarua ® pump and developed by IDEE E PRODOTTI as part of the Tarua ® pumping systems range. The difference is the operational context. Tarua ® Emergency is designed for rapid deployment in acute hydraulic events — flooding, emergency water removal, civil protection operations where speed and mobility are critical. Tarua ® Vacuum is the solution for operators who work with sludge, wastewater and maintenance every day — scheduled emptying, recurring collections, sewer cleaning, industrial service work. Same technology, different mission.
