Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a tanker-type equipment for collecting wet material or dry material. The equipment (1) comprises a mobile vehicle (3) comprising a frame (4) on which a collection tank (2) is installed, said collection tank (2) comprising at least a first compartment (11) for collecting material. The equipment further comprises a vacuum assembly (50) for generating a vacuum at least inside said first compartment (11) and a suction line which brings said vacuum assembly (50) into communication with said first compartment (11) so that, following the activation of said vacuum assembly (50), an air flow coming from said first compartment (11) and directed to said vacuum assembly (50) is drawn through said suction line (15). According to the invention, the equipment comprises a washing assembly (30) for dispersing water in said air flow coming from said first compartment (11) so as to moisten any solid particles contained in said air flow, said washing assembly (30) being activated at least during the collection of dry material. The equipment (1) further comprises a first cyclone filter (21) and a second cyclone filter (22) arranged in series along said suction line (15), wherein said second cyclone (22) is arranged between said first cyclone filter (21) and said first compartment (22) and wherein the solid particles and water dispersed by said washing assembly (30) are separated from said air flow at least in said first cyclone (21).
