Dual Power Comparison: Choosing Your Snow Roller Brush System
We offer two core power options: Hydraulic drive and self-powered. This provides you with crucial dual power options.
- Hydraulic System: Uses BM5/BM6 series hydraulic motors. It delivers a powerful hydraulic system torque. This is best for loaders or trucks with existing hydraulic systems.
- Self-Powered: Equipped with a 22 kW to 37 kW diesel engine. The 50 L fuel tank allows 4 hours of continuous operation. This suits vehicles without hydraulic systems.
- Advice: Evaluate your vehicle interfaces and required continuous working time to make the best dual power options selection.
Core Performance: Working Speed and Brush Head Efficiency
High-speed clearing is the primary benefit of the snow roller brush.
- Working Speed: The roller brush rotation speed reaches up to 380 rpm. The operating speed can range from 10 km/h to 30 km/h.
- Brush Specification: Brush diameters are available in 660 mm or 800 mm. This ensures efficient coverage and depth clearance.
- Consequently, high working speed significantly reduces the clearing time per unit area.
Engineering Advantage: Low Temperature Durability and Brush Filament Life
The brush material is central to the performance and lifespan of the snow roller brush.
- Material Composition: We use imported polypropylene blended with steel wire composites.
- Low Temperature Durability: This composite brush filament maintains flexibility in extreme cold, down to minus 30 degrees celsius.
- Brush Filament Life: The filament’s service life is 300 hours or more. This extends the replacement cycle and reduces maintenance costs.
Installation Simplicity: The Quick Connect Structure Advantage
Rapid attachment change is vital for realizing “one vehicle, multiple uses.”
- Installation Speed: The brush uses a quick connect structure. Installation or removal takes only 2 minutes to 3 minutes.
- Compliance: Installation requires no modification to the original vehicle structure. This does not affect vehicle registration or annual inspection.
- Therefore, the quick-connect structure greatly enhances the seasonal versatility of the equipment.
Control & Safety: The Snow Throwing Shield Protects Operator View
Smart controls and safe design are essential for the snow roller brush.
- Smart Remote: The cab features an electronic control platform. It supports wireless remote operation for brush lifting and plus/minus 30 degrees side pivoting.
- Snow Throwing Shield: A high-strength snow-throwing shield is installed in front of the brush. This effectively prevents snow splash from obscuring the driver’s vision.
- Recommendation: Ensure your rotary brush snow removal equipment includes both remote control and a snow throwing shield.
Clearing Strategy: Brush Coordination with Trailer Hitch Salt Spreader
Effective snow removal requires strategy. The snow roller brush and spreader are an ideal pair.
- Fresh Snow Phase: For loose, freshly fallen snow. You should prioritize using the snow roller brush for rapid clearing.
- Spreader Coordination: After clearing most of the snow. A trailer hitch salt spreader should be used to apply de-icing agents. This prevents subsequent icing of the road surface.
- Remember: The brush (physical removal) should precede the trailer hitch salt spreader (chemical removal).
Application & Case Study: Rapid Airport Clearing in Canada 🇨🇦
Our customer, Alex, is the operations manager for an airport in Alberta, Canada. The airport required rapid removal of thin ice and light snow from runways.
- The Challenge: Runway clearing time was extremely tight. The equipment could not damage the pavement surface.
- The Solution: Alex chose the 3.5 meter wide YG hydraulic-drive snow roller brush. This machine features high working speed and significant hydraulic system torque.
- The Outcome: The brush rapidly cleared snow up to 5 mm deep. Runway clearing time was reduced by 40%. This ensured timely flight operations..
Technical Deep Dive: Hydraulic System Optimization
Our hydraulic-drive snow roller brush has technical advantages.
- Torque Advantage: The BM5/BM6 motors deliver powerful hydraulic system torque. This allows it to easily clear snow approximately 20 cm thick.
- Stable Drive: The dual motor synchronized drive technology ensures stable operation and uniform brush wear.
- Recommendation: For clearing thick snow and complex terrain, select a hydraulic-drive model with high hydraulic system torque.
