An In-Depth Look At Our Line Of Drain Machines

Drain machines are one of the most valuable tools in the drain cleaning business. When the first drain cleaning machine was invented in 1933, the drain cleaning business was changed forever. Instead of having to dig up clogged lines, a powered snake could be fed through the line and cut through the obstruction. Now, almost a century later, these machines are the backbone of the independent drain cleaning industry. If you are a professional drain cleaner, you know how important it is to have a cable machine you can depend on.

Here at Duracable, we have been producing quality drain cleaning supplies for over 30 years. From dour rain snakes to our high-quality machines, we are dedicated to supplying our customers with the best equipment possible. We know that a drain snake machine is the core of most drain cleaning operations, which is why we only sell the best machines on the market. Over multiple decades of servicing businesses in the drain cleaning industry, we have created a line of drain machine models to fit any job. To make it easier for businesses to find the machines they need, we have arranged our 9 machine models into 3 convenient categories: sink, sled, and upright.

Sink Machines Our sink machines are the perfect option for tackling smaller drains in residential environments including sinks, washer, and shower drains. They are also compact enough to make them an ideal option for clearing lines where the workspace is in very tight quarters. These small machines can fit on a countertop and can be operated horizontally or in an upright position while still remaining firmly footed. These are also the perfect option for plumbers, drain cleaners, and building supers who need a powerful machine to easily clean residential lines.

● DM125 - This machine is compact, but don’t let its size fool you. The DM125 features a ⅓ horsepower motor that produces 230 rpm. With an 8-inch cable drum, this little machine can handle a ¼” by 37-foot drain snake, which is perfect for residential lines. The guide tube and quick lock bracket make this machine easy to use whenever you need a small and powerful drain machine.

● DM138 - With a ¼ horsepower motor that outputs 230 rpm, the DM138 is our next option. With slightly more power than the DM125, this machine can tackle any residential clog you throw at it. This machine is perfect for breaking through clogs in sower, sinks, bathtubs, and other residential drain lines. This machine is ideal for professionals who are dealing with drains that range from 1 to 3 inches. This little machine can handle up to a 14-inch cable reel that can hold up to 90 feet of drain cable.

● DM150 - This unique drain machine offers a unique pivoting design. The DM150 uses the same compact but powerful ¼ horsepower motor as the DM138, but with a unique frame design. You can pivot the entire machine within the frame and then lock it into place. This makes the DM150 a perfect option for users who are trying to clean drains in tight quarters or at bizarre angles.

Sled Machines Our collection of sled machines look very much like the typical drain machine that most professionals are used to. Built on a wheeled frame, these machines are easy to transport and pack a lot of power for breaking through tough clogs. If your business works with a wide variety of drains and locations, our sled machines are the perfect jack of all trades option for tackling small to medium drains and mains. Our goal with all of these machines is to make a perfect middle of the road option for both residential and commercial applications.

● J-Maxx - The J-Maxx is a small but powerful sled machine for tackling tough clogs. The J-Maxx is designed with residential drains in mind, but it can handle tougher jobs than our sink machines with its ⅓ horsepower motor. The 6-inch wheel and the convenient handle makes this machine extremely easy to transport through your worksite. With an air foot pedal and a ground fault circuit interrupter, this machine is designed to keep the operator safe.

● DM10 - Our DM10 model is a great option for cleaning professionals who need a convenient lightweight machine that has some real power behind it. This machine is ideal for clearing drains ranging from 1 ¼” to 4”. With its lightweight aluminum frame and easily removable cable drum, transporting this machine could not be easier. The ⅓ horsepower motor puts out 195 RPMs to offer exceptional torque when tackling tough jobs.

● DM30 - The DM30 offers users some extra power with its ½ horsepower motor that runs at 200 RPMs. This machine is perfect for both residential and commercial work, being able to unclog lines up to 6 inches in diameter. These machines also feature a powered cable feed and return system to make your life easier by automatically feeding and retrieving your cable snakes from drains. These machines also feature a double tube frame for extra toughness and as a way to keep the wiring internal to avoid the possibility of accidental shorts.

● DM55 - With a ¾ horsepower motor, the DM55 is our most powerful sled machine. Using our special maintenance-free gearbox design, this machine offers incredible levels of torque. This heavy-duty machine can handle up to 900 pounds of cable, meaning you can find even your heaviest and longest snakes onto the DM55 without issue. To make transportation easier, the DM55 features a winch hook, pneumatic tires, and convenient stair gliders which makes moving your machine a breeze.

Upright Machines Finally, our upright machines are the most powerful devices we offer. Our two upright machines combine superior power with incredible ease of use. The direct drive on these machines provides powerful torque with no need for a belt system. Despite being our biggest and strongest models, our uprights will still fit through a standard 30” doorway without issue. With a built-in toolbox and our quick release swing bolt reel system, these machines can handle any job you throw at them with ease.

● DM162 - If you need the power of an upright machine, but you are not looking to drag around the extra weight, the DM162 is the machine for you. These machines are perfect for unclogging drain lines between 2 and 6 inches. These machines come with all of the features from our previous models, including stair climbers, a powered feed and return system, and a winch lift. This machine also features a convenient built-in toolbox for storing all of the essential tools you need to get the job done. We recommend using an 18” reel with these machines to run a ⅝” by 80-foot drain cable.

● DM175 - If your business is not messing around, the DM175 is our most powerful drain machine option. There are no belts to mess with; instead, the DM175 uses a direct drive 10:1 gear system to provide powerful torque to break through the toughest clogs. The DM175 comes with a massive 23” enclosed cable drum that can hold 100 feet of heavy-duty 11/16” cable with ease. Perfect for cutting through tree roots or breaking through heavy grease build-up, this machine perfect for all of your mainline jobs.

All of these machines will offer your business years of reliable service. We test each machine before shipping it our to ensure that they will offer you amazing performance right out of the box. We also offer a 2 to 3-year warranty(depending on the model) on the frame and motor of our machines. The extended three-year warranty is only available on the frame and gearbox of the DM55, DM162 and DM175 models. You can also send malfunctioning machines back to Duracable to be inspected for issues. If you choose to have our technicians repair your machine, we will waive the inspection fee.

Having a powerful and reliable drain machine is crucial for drain cleaning businesses. Because these machines are such an important investment, they are one of the more expensive pieces of equipment that your business will need. If you would like to use your new machine to help pay for itself, we offer financing options for businesses. These options allow you to pay for your new drain machine in small monthly payments. You can fill out the financing forms on our website to see if your business applies.

In addition to our high-performance machines, we also offer the best drain cables in the business. We made each of our cables using our proprietary hard drawn high tensile strength wire. If any batch of our wire fails our rigorous stress testing, we never use it to construct our drain snakes. We are so confident that our snakes can handle even the toughest jobs that we offer a 30 days warranty against material defects on every cable we sell.
