Cleaning and removal of snow. Snow removal equipment Communal snow removal machinery from different countries

Preface

Types of household snow removal equipment. Comparison, advantages and disadvantages of various snow blowers. How to choose the right technique for your own needs, including for giving.

Before we consider which criteria to choose snow removal techniques, you should familiarize yourself with what it represents with its views. Structurally, any snow blower consists of a metal frame and engine fixed on it ( power aggregate), the drive transmitting the rotational motion of the motor shaft elements of the mechanism to clean the snow, the most cleaning device and controls of the entire unit.

Snowplow for home

Depending on the type and configuration, snowblower It can be equipped with these main nodes in a particular design, as well as other additional devices and details. All snow removable equipment produced for domestic purposes is divided into 2 main types:

1. Non-sound - moves through the accompanying effort from a person. It must be pushing with his hands.
2. Self-propelled - moves independently, it only needs to be directed in the right direction.

By the type of engine installed on snow blowers, they are all divided into:

1. Electric - with an electric motor. Operate from the usual household alternating current voltage 220 in a frequency of 50 Hz.
2. Petrol - with engine internal combustion (DVS). The fuel used is the gasoline of the AI-92 brand.

By way of moving on the surface:

1. On the sheath of the snow grappling bucket.
2. Wheel.
3. Crawler.

By way of cleaning snow:

1. Snowproofers (snow).
2. Snow pools that clean the snow with a sweeping brush or dump. Available very limited model near And only in self-propelled performance.

Snowproofers are equipped with one of the following snow cleaning systems:

1. Single-stage.
2. Two-stage - cleaning is made in 2 stages.

It is time to deal with the device and the principle of operation of the mechanism for cleaning snow in snowproofers. In all such snowplow, it consists of a bucket, cluttering snow to him inside, and auger mechanism installed in it. The latter is 2 auger driven by a gearbox, which is installed on a bucket. The gearbox mechanism is driven by the engine, the shaft of which is connected to it through the drive. The augers rotate in the opposite direction, thereby raking the snow to the middle of the bucket.

Single-stage snow blowers may have exactly the design of the mechanism for snow removal or additionally on the top of the bucket in the middle of the screws will be installed vertical snowy tube. In any case, on single-stage augene technique used for snow cleaning, and for discarding it. On machines without snow-cutting pipe, they rotate in this direction that the snow is thrown out of the bucket. That is, it is discarded for some distance in front of a snow blower.

On the technique with a sniffing tube, the augers rotate in another direction to challenge the bucket in the opposite. Then the crushed snowy mass under the action of centrifugal force spontaneously on the inertia is removed through a snowstone and discarded for some distance. The direction of emission is set by the orientation of the pipe.

In two-stage technology, the design of a snow removal mechanism is more complicated - a cunning motor. In addition to the nodes of single-stage equipment without a snowstone, it still has a snow-plating box with an impeller or a rotor mounted on the back of the bucket, and a vertical pipe connected to it and specifying the direction of snow ejection. The bucket in the center of its own part, just where the snow-plated box is attached, has a hole. The augers in two-stage techniques rotate in this direction that the snow is thrown inside the bucket and it is in the box. The impeller or rotor, shredding snow, raise it along the tap tube and thrown out of it.

For this two-stage technique is also called snow blowers-snowmers. And, as can be seen from the description of its work, it produces snow cleaning in 2 stages. On most machines with a snow-made pipe (single-stage and two-stage), it is possible to change the range of snow ejection and its direction: in front of the technique or in some direction. On snow blowers with a fixed standing position, the direction of scattering of the cleaned snow mass is possible only to the left or right perpendicular to the operation of the machine.

Uncomfortable snow blowers are electric and gasoline, but everything with a single-stage cleaning system. Equipped with an electric motor by method of movement is released in the first two above versions. That is, wheel equipment and snow blowers, which have neither wheels, nor caterpillars, are installed with a snow festive bucket on the surface and so pushed in front of them. Gasoline non-self-propelled machines produce only wheeled.

Power of non-intended technology, that is, engines installed on it - from 1 to 6.5 hp (700 W-4.8 kW). Snow emissions range - 4-15 m.

Electric snow removal equipment without wheels is equipped with electric motors with a capacity of 700-1300 W. Snow dropping range of 4-9 m. The snow cover capture width in the area of \u200b\u200b30 cm (depending on the manufacturer and the snow blower model, it can be exactly such or several centimeters to differ in a large or smaller side), the height of the capture is 10-25 cm. Snow throws only forward - in front of you. But weigh only 5-8 kg. It is because of the last two characteristics that these snow blowers called "electric shovels". They even have a handle for carrying and controlled one - in the center. All other snow blowers are in the form of a frame with two handles. With an "Electropolitan", any person will easily manage, even with disabilities - an elderly, woman, child.

Non-intended snow removal machinery

At the same time, the "electric shovel" is not only the most affordable, but also the most maneuverable and universal snow blower. Yes, because of the ejection of the snow, a part of it will have to remove it. This technique has the lowest performance, and for work on large areas it is not intended. But due to the absence of wheels, a narrow bucket and low weight, you can even clean the steps of entry into the house. It can be simply transferred to the desired location of the site, and not break there through the drifts, making, possibly unnecessary work. "Electric shovel" will allow you to perform truly jewelry work - clean the narrow and hard to reach for more powerful place of place. After all, the more powerful a snow removal machine, it is harder, she is wider capturing and more dimensions.

Wheel electric uncomfortable snow blowers are equipped with an electric motor with a capacity of 1.1-2.5 kW (1.5-3.4 hp). Snow dropping range - 5-15 m. The width of the capture of snow cover is 34-60 cm, the height is 15-36 cm. The weight of this snow blowing equipment is 10-21 kg. For ahead, the snow is discarded in front of them only light low-power models, such as, for example, ERGOMAX EST3311. (weighs 10 kg, power 1.1 kW, emission range is 6 m) and Monferme 26087m (12 kg, 1.2 kW, 15 m). All other machines are equipped with a snow-made pipe.

Wheel gasoline non-self-propelled snow blowers are equipped mainly by 4-stroke, and some 2-stroke engine with a capacity of 2.2-6.5 hp (1.6-4.8 kW). Their swelling range of snow - 3-15 m. The snow cover capture width is 46-60 cm, height - 26-53 cm. The weight of this snow blowing equipment is 31-51 kg. All machines are equipped with a snow-made pipe. Engine start type - manual (cable) or electric starter. The latter, depending on the machine, is powered by a 220 V network or from a battery installed on a snow blower. The second version of the technique is heavier. All snowfighters with the electric starter are equipped with a backup start-up system - manual. It almost always helps, if for any reason it will be impossible to start the engine by the electric starter: the engine was turned off or dug away from the source 220 V; The battery villages either due to a strong frost does not produce the necessary power.

Some models of wheeled noncommose electrical and petrol cars Conditionally considered self-propelled. This technique helps to push themselves or even slowly, as the snow is cleaned in front of them, moves independently due to friction and tapping screws about the purified surface. The advantage of incommable wheeled snow blowers before the "electric shovel" is more productivity and the possibilities of most models can change the direction and adjust the emission range. In addition, many cars have protection against overload and / or headlamps.

Self-propelled snowstocks are equipped with gasoline engines, mainly 4-stroke, and some models are 2-strokes. The launch of the DVS is made in the same way as on non-intended technology - a cable or starter, which works from the battery or household power supply. And also on starter models, it is additionally provided with a manual launch of a cable.

Options for self-propelled snowballs

All self-propelled snowproofs have a two-stage snow cleaning system and therefore they are also called snowy. Also, only at the expense of two-stage purification, self-propelled technique is much more productive. Thus, any samples of snowballs that have similar or comparable characteristics with single-stage snow removal, when working in one mode with them (with the same speed of rotation of the screws) significantly exceed them by efficiency and cleaning speed. Self-propelled technique moves on wheels or on caterpillars, which are driven by the same engine as the cleaning mechanism.

In the wheeled snowballs, the power of the engine - from 3.6 to 16.5 hp (2.6 kW-12.1 kW). Snow emissions range - 5-20 m. Snow cover seizure width - 51-115 cm, height - 35-60 cm. Weight of this snow blowing equipment - 50-163 kg. Wheels of snowballs are larger than that of non-intelligence equipment, and have a protector with a special profile, which provides the best grip when moving through the snow and ice.

Crawler Snowballs have engine power - from 4.8 to 16.5 hp (3.5 kW-12.1 kW). Snow emissions range - 5-20 m. Snow cover seizure width - 55-87 cm, height - 42-60 cm. Weight of this snow blowing machinery - 68-250 kg. Crawler cars are conventionally attributed to "SUVs". The caterpillars have more clutch area, and they provide higher than wheels, traction effort. Thanks to this, the snow-collecting workers on a tracked move have increased permeability and can work in a complex relief, when there are many bumps, holes, steep slopes, as well as on the path of their following paths. They undergo such places without any problems, on which the wheeled technique will drop.

Most self-propelled snowflowers are equipped with a transmission providing speed control when moving forward and the possibility of including rear stroke. Depending on the technique model, the number of transmissions can reach:

• for the front turn - from 2 to 6;
• for rear - from 1 to 2.

The more gears, the more convenient to use these cars. Indeed, in this case, more variants of the choice of movement speed. That is, it is almost always possible to accurately adjust the traction force of the drive of wheels or caterpillars under the density of the snow purified and the nature of the surface (locality), which moves a snow blower. So, in the case of the five-six speed transmission, the front first and second transmissions usually include when working with wet and tight snow. In medium gears (3-4), light snow cover is removed. When the technique of cleaning and smooth surface, the "elevated" fifth and sixth are used to the place of cleaning and the parking lot.

On some tracked snowmers installed groundless hydrostatic transmission. It provides a smooth change in the speed of movement and maintain it at a specified level, regardless of the load. There are also hybrid model of tracked technology. In them, the engine ensures the work of a snow removal mechanism and the generator, which produced electricity which enters 2 electric motors. The latter, in turn, ensure the operation of the caterpillage drive. In hybrid models, also slept transmission.

On a number of wheel snowflowers, the possibility of blocking the differential is provided as an additional function. This allows you to provide cravings on both wheels when conditions that promote it are created for one of them. On many models of self-propelled vehicles, the system is equipped with an amplifier. In any case, it stands throughout heavy machinery - weighing from 100 kg and higher. As a rule, this is a steering system equipped with a servo.

All self-propelled snow blowers are protected from overload. Since this technique is quite powerful, and the components and parts on it are very expensive, then the protection is usually implemented due to the installation at the point of fastening the auger to the gearbox of the engine of special bolts. With a critical increase in the load, they are simply cut. As a result, the auger is disconnected from the gearbox. So if, for example, a foreign object will fall into the working tool and the auger will occur, it will only lead to the replacement of cut bolts. All other nodes will not suffer.

Unlike non-self-interest, headlights are equipped with almost all self-propelled snow blowers. On some models they turn on automatically immediately after starting the engine and in the daytime, it serve as a warning signal that the snow blower works. In addition, many self-propelled machines There is another useful option - heated handles.

This kind of snow blowing equipment on russian market Presents the number of models, barely reaching two dozen. But they produce them much in a smaller volume and diversity of execution, as they are less in demand due to the limited possibility of their use. All Self-propelled snowplows. They are only in a wheel performance and with gasoline engine. Additional devices and options (headlights, heated handles), as a rule, do not equip. But everyone has the ability to control the direction of emission.

Snowpot for summer cottage

All are equipped with a sweeper brush as the main or additional attachment of the working body, which can be used for conventional garbage cleaning. That is, this technique will be useful even in the summer. The widest line of snow-reader models falls on machines equipped as a working body only with a sweeping brush. Characteristics of such equipment can be within the following values. Engine power - 4.2-8.9 hp (3.1-6.5 kW). Capture width - 70-140 cm. Brush diameter - 25-40 cm. Cleaning performance - 2200-5000 m 2 / h. Maximum speed Movement - 3-5.1 km / h. Weight - 47-160 kg. Transmission can be one of the following versions:

• only for moving forward with constant traction effort;
• 3 front and 1 rear;
• hydrostatic.

A much smaller number of models, literally read units, falls on universal snowplows with interchangeable working bodies:

• dump / swept brush;
• sweeping brush / auger;
• sweeping brush / dump / auger.

Most often offer snow removal machines Champion GS5580. or GS6510E.. The power of the engines is 5.5 and 6.5 hp, respectively. Capture width - 80 and 100 cm. Weight - 90 and 105 kg. In both models of 4 front transmission and is the ability to control the direction of emission. Knife-dump allows us to quickly and quickly roll off the low snow cover to the side or in front of the aggregate itself. At the snowpressure Champion GS6510E. There is an additional equipment - a hinged container under the rubbish volume of 60 liters. That is, cleaning in the summer with this model will be more efficient and less dusty.

With nozzles sweeping brush / auger is most famous Patriot. Pro 777S.. Engine power - 6.5 hp The width of the grip is 56 cm, and the height is 42 cm. Number of gears: 4 front and 2 rear. There is a reference direction management. The cunning nozzle is equipped with an engine overload protection. Weight - 111 kg. With all the nozzles most often found KALIBR MU-5,5. Engine power - 5.5 hp Capture width - 56 cm, and height - 35 cm. Number of gears: 4 front and 2 rear. There is a reference direction control. The cunning nozzle is equipped with an engine overload protection. Weight - 38 kg.

The basic criterion for the selection of snow removal equipment is its power. And it is determined, based on the area of \u200b\u200bthe territory that will be cleaned. If it is only 100-200 m 2, then it is enough to purchase a snow blower up to 2 kW. This is the power of non-intended electrical equipment. And so insignificant area corresponds to the territory around a building consisting of sites at the house, garage and on a small summer cottage.

So it turns out that the best snow blower for the cottage is an electric noncommose power up to 2 kW. Optimal option For many, it may be "electric shovel" described above. If it is required to remove from snow with an area of \u200b\u200b400-600 m 2 (4-6 acres), then it is necessary to get the apparatus at 3.5-5 hp. (2.6-3.7 kW). In this case, the number of options for selecting snow removal models can be called almost unlimited. Suitable as non-self-propelled wheeled (electrical and gasoline) and self-propelled, including tracked machines.

Stylish and powerful snow blower

For the territory of 600-1500 m 2 I need a technique in 5-8 hp That is, uncomfortable wheeled gasoline or self-propelled snow blowers with a power corresponding to the cleaned area. For the territory of 1500-3500 m 2 - with a capacity of 8-10 hp, and 3500-5000 m 2 - 10-13 hp Here you need to choose only self-propelled technique. The next important selection criterion is a distance of emissions. It is necessary to proceed from the required value of this parameter, but at the same time consider the features of the location and planning of its own territory:

• how close is the sections of neighbors, if there are;
• location of buildings and requiring cleaning of territories in its own area, as well as distances between them.

Deciding with the desired range of snow ejection, it is desirable to choose a model of technology, which is regulated. And, of course, it is necessary to choose snow blowers with an adjustable emission direction. Fortunately, such majority. Then it is necessary to determine the electrical or gasoline snow blower to acquire if such an alternative to selection exists. Electrical equipment has important advantages:

• it works much quieter;
• its engine has reliable overheating protection;
• it is much cheaper;
• operational costs for it are lower, since the costs for consumed electricity is less than the spent fuel of gasoline models;
• she has smaller dimensions and weight;
• easier in operation and maintenance;
• does not pollute the environment.

But it is necessary for it in the area: power supply, with stable nominal parameters, and electrical wiring capable of trouble-free to withstand the load created during the operation of the snow blower. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the coverage area will be limited to the length of the network cable, well, plus the length of the extension. That is, it is possible to dream about the autonomy of work.

Gasoline models of such restrictions do not have. In addition, in conditions of harsh winter, their use is preferable. Popular electrical equipment can refuse to work or completely fail.

Solving which of gasoline snow blowers to choose, you need to pay attention to the system of their launch. Models with a cable cheaper, but in a strong frost manually start the engine very problematic, and often simply impossible. It is better to take a technique with an electric starter, and 220 V, launched from household power supply, if it is on the plot. The rechargeable version does not always justify yourself - for charging the battery you need to constantly monitor, and in a strong frost it is most likely it will not be able to give the necessary power to launch.

When choosing a snow blower, it is important to take into account the frequency and volumes of precipitation, as well as, what snow will have to be removed - freshlywalked, loose or blind, heavy and with an infusion. Than more difficult conditionThe more powerful technique should be. The wider and above the capture and height of the snow fence, the more productive and the work is performed faster. Do not forget about the features of using one or another type of screws, so as not to damage them or decorative coverage of platforms in front of the house and tracks.

If in the country area or, as well as any "surprises" snow, a snow blower with a screw cleaning mechanism is not suitable for their cleaning. About rocirory stones and other invisible obstacles tool breaks. It is better to purchase a snowplow with a sweeper brushed. But this cleaning tool can be cleaned only soft loose and freshly loose snow. It means that without a brush can not do, but it will have to be removed and dense heavy snow with an infusion, it makes sense to choose universal technique with replaceable working bodies of nozzles.

Snow cleaning machine

Also, when choosing a snow blower, it is necessary to take into account the complexity and features of the relief of the loose area (territory). Even a small hole under the wheel of a non-intended technology or a slight rise on its way when it comes to cleaning heavy and high snow cover, it can become fatal, and work will end. And choosing self-propelled technique, it is necessary, again, to compare it with the difficulty of passability with the complexity of possible obstacles. And the more gear from the snow blower, the better. Do not forget that the most passable - caterpillar models, but they are the most cumbersome, heavy, slow and smooth.

If it is supposed to remove snow in dark time The day - the days of the winter are short - and there is no artificial lighting on the cleaning area, it is recommended to choose a model with headlights. When the budget allows, you can take care of the comfort of work, pick up the model with the control panel (on it levers, buttons and other devices that allow you to monitor and install all modes of operation, including the range and direction of snow ejection) and heated handles.

Snow cleaning equipment is household and professional and classified depending on the design and functions. The principle of operation is to enjoy snow using the cunning mechanisms and discarding the impeller for 15 m or more.

Household appliances running from an electric or gasoline engine. Devices with an electric motor have low power and operate from the network. The presence of a cable significantly reduces the maneuverability of the unit, moreover, it is necessary to ensure that the wire does not hit the rotating parts of the rotary mechanism.

The main class of non-professional techniques for snow removal is equipped with a 2-stroke or 4-stroke gasoline engine. The disadvantage of the 2-stroke motor operating on the oil-gasoline mixture is the complexity of the launch at low temperatures. In addition, it is necessary to control the proportions and monitor the quality fuel mixes. Otherwise, the service life decreases, and the toxicity of exhaust increases, can fail the spark plugs. Consuming gasoline 4-stroke engines are characterized by the durability of the mechanism, more economical fuel consumption.

By type of management, household devices are divided into self-propelled and manual control. Self-propelled technique has a wheel drive or crawler. Models with wheels are maneuverable, but they can lower in deep snow. Crawler cars are distinguished increased patencyBut not so mobile. Self-propelled devices are characterized by good indicators of the release range up to 18 m, equipped with metal screws, so even tight snow are forces. The disadvantage lies in the fact that when contacting the surface of the augers can be broken or scratching the decorative coating of tracks. In order for this not to happen in the design, there are special stops for maintaining 2-4 cm of the gap. Self-propelled technique allows you to choose a speed suitable for the operator and makes the process of cleaning snow with a tirelessness even when clearing a large area.

The non-intended technology moves with the direct participation of the operator. This is a reliable and inexpensive snowpressure for a small household site. The auger has a rubber coating and will not hurt a pavement or a track. The device is not able to throw out snow further than 5 m and will not cope with the cleaning of ice and the ramble snow. On the uneven plot on the operator there is a significant physical activity.

Professional equipment is intended for clearing sidewalks and roads, as well as runways on airfields. Depending on the functions, plow, rotor, brush, thermal, vacuum, isolated. To maintain a safe movement in winter time Available dispensers of antifungal materials. Among the basic devices for installing snow-cleaning equipment, you can find traction tracked and wheeled tractors, automotive drivers and dump trucks, uniaxial tractors, etc. When choosing a model, the staining strip width, power, weight. The rotary snowplow also consists of a screw and a rotor of the snow intended for cutting and transporting snow and the rejection of the recycled mass. Cutting parts and seals that regulate the depth of the decimated layer are made of solid steel. Snow removal design can be attached from behind under the frame, front on the frame, on the side.

Plouge technique is used to clean the fresh snow, in urban conditions, a brush is added to the snow removal mechanism. The compacted snow is considered a milling and rotary device. This technique is more versatile and suitable for asphalt roads and off-road, airfields with snow thickness up to 1.4 m. Its disadvantage for the city is considered to throw snow from roads to the roadside, so you have to additionally remove the shafts using other techniques.

For work in roads, wheel or tracked bulldozers, tractors and skidding tractors are used. With the help of randers, ski slopes are laid and equip the tourist bases.
