Mantank continue to grow its Environmental Services and Industrial Cleaning businesses; with this latest development to meet demand for on-site vacuumation. This month Mantank committed to a further capital investment when it acquired the Disab Centurion LN200. The machine is a high airflow vacuumation unit that can be used on wet or dry applications and importantly, it can bag off waste pneumatically through a hose or be discharged by tilting the contents into a skip. This allows the machine to stay working on-site with no downtime. Mantank’s own waste haulage business unit disposes of the unwanted material while the Centurion keeps working.
