Compact, lightweight vacuum litter collector. Ideal for tight lanes, vehicle-mounted flexibility, and budget- conscious cleaning projects.

Tech at a glance
Independent engine with variable RPM
Compact but capable, Jatayu HD features a diesel engine with an RPM range optimized for focused cleaning. It’s light enough for flexible mounting and powerful enough for tough litter, making it ideal for targeted operations without compromising performance.

Fan-safe operations
Fan Safe Operations are all about ensuring the suction fan operates within its safe limits, even in unpredictable working environments. Designed to protect the suction fan from overload, pressure instability, and overheating during variable or high-dust conditions. While many modern machines now include some form of fan protection, Jatayu’s system works in tandem with its filter design and variable RPM control, making it part of a robust, integrated approach to dust management and system longevity.

PM10 filter
A PM10 filter is a specialized air filter designed to capture particulate matter that is 10 microns or smaller in diameter, such as fine dust, road particles, and airborne pollutants. Made from pleated, high-surface-area filter media, it traps these fine particles before the air is discharged. This ensures that the machine doesn’t re-pollute the environment while operating and helps release cleaner, safer air, protecting both the operator and the surroundings.

Applications
Nagar Palikas and Panchayats
In small towns and villages, litter often accumulates around public areas such as bus stops, weekly markets, schools, and temple entrances. With limited staff, scattered waste points, and mostly manual tools, cleaning is irregular and often delayed, especially after events or during peak hours.
Manual collection exposes sanitation workers to a mix of waste, dust, and hazardous materials. In many rural areas, this includes plastic wrappers, food waste, cloth scraps, and open-dumped garbage. A compact, contactless litter picker, like Jatayu HD, offers a safer and more efficient alternative, allowing frontline workers to remove waste without direct contact.
Gram Panchayats typically operate with constrained resources, small budgets, basic vehicles, and minimal technical staff. Jatayu HD mounts easily on local vehicles, such as tractors or LCVs, and uses quick-change, reusable bags for easy disposal. It requires no specialized operation or infrastructure. It enables panchayats to maintain cleaner public spaces with fewer workers, faster turnarounds, and better hygiene outcomes.

Small and mid-sized industries
Small and medium-sized industries still need to maintain clean loading areas, approach roads, and worksite perimeters—yet relying on manual labor for these repetitive tasks often proves costly and inefficient.
While these facilities may not generate large volumes of bulk waste, they deal with frequent, scattered debris like plastic wrappers, paper cups, packaging bits, or dry leaves. Cleaning this with brooms or manual tools is time-consuming and pulls staff away from core operational work.
Jatayu HD offers a compact, easy-to-deploy solution for light-duty, high-frequency cleaning needs. It handles surface litter quickly and can be operated by a single person using existing facility vehicles like trolleys or e-rickshaws. Quick-change reusable bags and low-maintenance needs suit industrial teams looking to improve daily upkeep without investing in large machines or overextending manpower.
