Foton Aumark Vacuum Road Sweeper Truck With Snow Remover

1. Foton Aumark Chassis
   • Chassis: Foton Aumark series (a popular light to medium-duty chassis).
   • Engine: Typically powered by a reputable diesel engine, such as Cummins or Yuchai, meeting current emission standards (e.g., Euro IV, Euro V, or National VI).
   • Driving Type: Usually 4×2 (two-axle) with Left-Hand Drive (LHD) or Right-Hand Drive (RHD) options.
2. Vacuum Sweeper System
   • Sweeping Mechanism: A combination of side-mounted sweeping brushes and a central, wide suction nozzle. Some models use a “full suction” design that eliminates the need for brushes, offering perfect vacuum sweeping.
   • Auxiliary Engine: The sweeping and vacuum functions are powered by a separate auxiliary engine (e.g., Isuzu or JMC technology), which ensures stable and powerful operation independent of the truck’s main engine.
   • Debris Bin/Hopper: Often made of corrosion-resistant material like stainless steel (typically 304) with capacities ranging widely (e.g., 4 CBM to 10 CBM).
   • Water Tank: Used for dust suppression during sweeping, also typically stainless steel.
   • Cleaning Efficiency: High efficiency is standard, often advertised to be over 95% with the ability to collect particles up to 50mm to 120mm in diameter.
3. Snow Remover Attachments (Optional)

   The “Snow Remover” functionality is achieved through quick-attach implements installed on the front of the truck’s chassis, utilizing the vehicle’s hydraulic system. These attachments often include:

   • Snow Plow/Shovel: A robust steel blade designed for heavy snow plowing.
   • Features: Often hydraulically operated, allowing the driver to adjust the blade’s left and right deflection angle (e.g., ≥30 ∘ ) from the cab.
   • Rotary Snow Sweeping Brush: A large-diameter rotary broom used for clearing light snow, slush, and residual material.
   • Features: Large brush diameter (e.g., 600mm), with adjustable left and right angle.
   • Salt/Grit Spreader (Optional): Some versatile models can also be equipped with a detachable snow melting spreader (e.g., a salt spreader) mounted in the rear cargo area for de-icing.

• Chassis: Foton Aumark (usually a 4×2 configuration, medium-duty).
• Engine: Diesel engine (often a Foton Cummins or similar, with various emission standards like Euro III, IV, or VI depending on the market). Horsepower typically ranges from 100 hp to over 160 hp for the main chassis engine.
• Auxiliary Engine: A separate engine (e.g., JMC, Isuzu technology, or Cummins) to power the sweeping and vacuum system independently, ensuring consistent performance.
• Transmission: Manual gearbox (e.g., 5-speed or 6-speed forward).
• Drive: Left-Hand Drive (LHD) is common, Right-Hand Drive (RHD) may be optional.

• Type: Primarily a sweep and suck or vacuum sweeper type.
• Sweeping Equipment: Typically includes four-disc brooms (two on each side) located between the axles, driven by motors.
• Sweeping Width: Maximum sweeping width generally ranges from 2.6 to 3.2 meters (approx. 8.5 to 10.5 feet).
• Sweeping Speed: Operating speeds often range from 3 to 15 km/h.
• Suction System: Features a full-floating suction nozzle for good ground adherence and efficient debris collection.
• Maximum Suction Particle Size: Can often ingest debris and particles up to 100-120 mm in size.
• Tanks:
  • Garbage/Dust Tank Capacity: Varies, but common sizes on the Aumark chassis are around 4 to 6 cubic meters (CBM). Made of durable material like stainless steel (often 304) for corrosion resistance.
  • Water Tank Capacity: Typically around 1,000 to 2,000 Liters for dust suppression and high-pressure cleaning (if equipped). Also often made of stainless steel.

The “Snow Remover” functionality is usually achieved through specialized, quick-mount attachments that can be installed on the front of the truck:

• Snow Plow/Shovel: A heavy-duty blade attached to the front for pushing snow.
• Features: Often includes hydraulic control for raising/lowering and left/right deflection (e.g., ≥30 ∘ ).
• Blade Material: High-strength steel.
• Snow Sweeping Brush: A large, rotary broom attachment used for sweeping lighter snow.
• Salt/Snow-Melting Spreader (Optional): A separate unit that can be mounted to the rear of the truck body to spread de-icing materials (salt, sand, or snow-melting agent).
• Features: Adjustable spreading width and quantity, anti-corrosion structure, and its own power system (often hydraulic).

• Dust Suppression: Water sprinklers are integrated into the sweeping and suction system to minimize dust pollution.
• Control System: All operations are usually integrated and controlled electronically from within the cab for operator convenience.
• Hydraulic System: Powers the functions like tank tipping, broom/suction nozzle raise/lower, and snow removal attachments.
• Unloading: The garbage tank is typically emptied via hydraulic tipping.
