Suction excavator fan innovation at IFAT Munich – RHINO Z Pro Silent Storm with ZENNER technology
Innovation on display at IFAT in Munich
IFAT in Munich is the premier event for environmental technology, innovation, and forward-looking solutions. This year, LONGO Euroservice unveiled several new vacuum excavator vehicles—featuring cutting-edge technology from the Ore Mountains.
In the spotlight: the new generation RHINO Z PRO—specifically the “Silent Storm” model.
Full suction power in the tightest of spaces
One of the most exciting new products is the compact “little blue one”—a city vacuum truck designed for tight inner-city applications. Developed for use in sensitive areas with limited space, it combines maximum suction power with significantly reduced noise levels.
At the heart of this solution is a specially developed ZENNER suction excavator fan, which has been precisely tailored to the vehicle’s compact dimensions. The system is complemented by an integrated silencer that significantly reduces operating noise.
Performance on a large scale
At the same time, the large version was also introduced as the result of close collaboration between ZENNER Fans, LONGO Euroservice, and VAC-CON in the UK.
This design relies on proven twin-fan technology and delivers maximum suction power even under the most demanding operating conditions.
The combination of experience, development expertise, and international partnership is evident here in a solution that unites performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Partnership as a Key to Success
ZENNER developed, manufactured, and delivered the complete fan solution, including a silencer system—tailored to the specific requirements of modern suction dredging applications.
With VAC-CON as a strong partner in the British market and LONGO as an established manufacturer in the field of suction dredging technology, a powerful network for innovative solutions in civil engineering and environmental technology is taking shape.
What began two years ago with the RHINO Z PRO is now being consistently further developed—more powerful, quieter, and even better integrated.
Technology continues to evolve. So do partnerships.
