Apparatuses and methods for cleaning accumulated sediment from storm drain conduits and other large-diameter conduits are disclosed. A nozzle assembly is arranged to deliver a high-volume flow of water at a pressure high enough to loosen sediment from the interior of a conduit and to propel the nozzle assembly and an associated nozzle feed hose upstream within a conduit being cleaned. Water from the nozzle assembly flushes the sediment downstream and is then collected, partially cleaned, and reused in the nozzle assembly. Mud and clay may be left in the water to increase its specific gravity and viscosity. A self-contained portable and mobile system includes a tank and apparatus for removal of high concentrations of entrained or suspended solids, and a pump and conduits for delivering a high-volume flow of water, containing quantities of suspended solids, to the nozzle assembly.

A detachable wear strip for an endless seal belt of a vacuum belt filter device is configured to be arranged in a first groove of a guide part between the endless seal belt and the guide part, wherein the endless seal belt is configured to run in the first groove in contact with a low pressure side of an endless moving filter belt of the vacuum belt filter device, wherein the guide part being arranged between a vacuum box of a vacuum arrangement and the low pressure side, and wherein by the vacuum arrangement being configured to produce a suction at a low pressure side of the endless moving filter belt at a working zone of the vacuum belt filter device.
