ROOTS® TRI-NADO™ Tri-Lobe Vacuum Blower

High Airflow and Deep Vacuum Performance for Demanding Vacuum Truck Applications

The ROOTS® TRI-NADO™ Truck-Mount Tri-Lobe Vacuum Blower is engineered for vacuum truck applications that require high airflow, deep vacuum capability, and dependable operation.

 

Delivering up to 6,515 CFM and 28" Hg vacuum, the TRI-NADO helps operators move material efficiently while maintaining the vacuum capability needed for longer hose runs, difficult recovery points, and demanding conveying applications.

  • Deep vacuum performance for demanding material recovery applications.
  • High airflow helps move more material in less time.
  • Progressive chamber design reduces noise and promotes cooler operation.
  • Cast-foot construction minimizes vibration and supports smoother operation.
  • Heavy-duty design delivers long service life in challenging mobile environments.
  • More airflow per pound helps maximize truck payload and productivity.

 

Tri-lobe vacuum blower designs are widely used in truck-mounted applications because they provide smoother airflow, reduced pulsation, and improved durability compared to traditional blower designs. The TRI-NADO™ incorporates these advantages while providing the airflow and vacuum performance OEMs rely on to build productive vacuum truck systems.

High-Airflow Tri-Lobe Design

Higher airflow increases material transfer speed, helping load tanks faster and improve vacuum truck productivity

Deep Vacuum Capability

Up to 28" Hg vacuum delivers strong suction for challenging applications, longer hose runs, and consistent material flow

Optimized Airflow and Vacuum

Balanced airflow and vacuum support efficient material recovery and reliable performance across diverse vacuum truck applications

Reduced Pulsation

ROOTS® WHISPAIR™ technology provides smoother airflow with less pulsation, helping improve conveying consistency and reduce vibration

More Airflow Per Pound

Its high airflow-to-weight ratio helps maximize payload capacity without compromising vacuum system performance

Heavy-Duty Construction

Rugged components and advanced lubrication provide dependable airflow and vacuum performance in demanding applications

  • Vacuums to 28" Hg (948 mbar): Deep vacuum capability supports longer conveying distances, challenging recovery applications, and the ability to overcome restrictions that can contribute to plugging or reduced material flow.
  • Flows to 6,515 CFM (11,069 m³/hr): High airflow helps convey more material in less time, improving loading performance and increasing overall truck productivity.
  • Reduced Noise & Vibration: The tri-lobe rotor design, WHISPAIR™ technology, and progressive chamber engineering work together to provide smoother airflow and reduced pulsation compared to traditional blower designs.
  • Optimized for Mobile Vacuum Trucks: With blower weights ranging from approximately 2,500 lbs (1125 Tri-Nado) to 2,800 lbs (1128 Tri-Nado), the TRI-NADO delivers outstanding airflow relative to blower weight, helping maximize payload capacity and truck efficiency.

Designed to efficiently handle liquid waste, sludge, and residual materials in mobile and industrial vacuum truck applications, including:

  • Industrial vacuum trucks
  • Sewer and septic cleaning vehicles
  • Pneumatic conveying systems
  • Hydro excavation trucks
  • Environmental services and cleanup operations

 

These applications demand consistent airflow, high vacuum levels, and durable construction, making the TRI-NADO™ truck vacuum pump a reliable solution for fleet operators.
