The tenants of apartment buildings do not think about cleaning snow, they make urban services for them, but the owners of private houses or summer cottages often have to deal with the question of what at home and the cottage is better in terms of price and quality ratio.

Equipment on gasoline for snow cleaning

Snow removal machine is a special technique that is designed to clear the tracks and the passages from the snow. The main thing in the design of such equipment is the rotating screw, which captures the snow and with the help of air flows, leans him aside.

The snow blower will significantly reduce your strength and time hours of cleaning the necessary area. It does not require the use of Sovkov's shovel, and the whole courtyard can be cleared, and not just a path to the road.

Options for this technique quite a lot and it is necessary to choose from the volume of work. Allocate several classifications:

• Operating from electricity or gasoline;
• Way to travel;
• The volume of captured snow;
• Type of movement;
• The presence of the electric starter;
• In terms of performance (motor power);
• Optional equipment.

Consider in more detail the features of the main types of snow blowers.

By type of engine

Snow removal equipment for home and giving can work from the power grid or on gasoline. It depends on the type of motor selected. In this case, each option has its own positive and negative sides.

Option of gasoline snow removal machines for cottages and houses

Snowflowers running on gasoline have a high capacity indicator, but their dimensions are much larger. The disadvantages can also be attributed a fairly high price, however, in terms of performance, such costs are fully justified.

At the same time, the gasoline option works autonomously, has a power of 5 to 15 hp, which allows you to clean the snow, which has already broken for two weeks and managed to settle. This technique is well tolerating frosts (up to minus 20 degrees Celsius).

Option on gasoline is suitable for cleaning from the snow of a large area, away from electricity. However, with narrow sections, such an equipment will not cope, and the cost of that fuel is quite high.

Snow removal equipment for home and cottage operating from the network

The electrical model has a slight weight and small dimensions. It copes well with narrow and hard-to-reach areas. Such devices are equipped with rubber-shaped screws, so even for sacrifice of the porch or veranda. You will not hear any buzz when you will clean the snow, and the cost of electricity is significantly lower than gasoline.

However, there is also the opposite side. Because of the low power, the performance of them is small, that is, they are unsuitable for large sites. They work only from the network, which means that access to electricity should be permanent, while the cord during work is always clinging for something. Yes, and the functionality in such a technique is low, usually only one speed, no heating of the handles and headlights.

Engine power and availability of electric starter

By power of the motor, you can determine what area can we clear the technique.

Table 1. Area that a snow blower can clear

The electric starter is designed to make the start of a gasoline snow blower easier. Install it on powerful options, then to start the equipment to stick the cord into the outlet. It is good to use such a function to start a cold engine.

Which course works and how many speeds include technician

The more powerful a snow blower, the more speeds on it installed. They allow you to choose the necessary mode of operation, controlling the rotation speed of the screw. Reduce speed with a dense and thick cover of snow.

Snowbrush equipment for home and cottages are equipped with wheels or caterpillars. It also concerns powerful machinesFor example, electrical models can be in manual.Caterpillars have a large surface and their clutch with an expensive much higher, however, while driving such a car will no longer leave the snow after herself.

And also on gasoline versions of the snow blower additionally install a headlamp that is very in demand in winter short days. Heated handle, which is convenient for the consumer in the frost.

What to rely on when choosing a snow blower

To choose the appropriate option for snow cleaning on your household plot, look at several select options:

• What area must be cleaned. From this directly depends on the required engine power.
• Do you need cleaning in hard-to-reach places. So, you decide with a gasoline or electrical option.
• Maneuverability and snow blower weight.
• Price and manufacturer.

To make it easier for you to decide on the choice, we suggest a snow blower user rating.

Review Michael from Samara about Hyundai S 6560: "Acquired only this year, as I realized that the shovel could not cope. The power was enough to cope with a large layer of snow, and with ice. It passes through the area like a tank. I am satisfied "

Feedback Paul from the Moscow region about Patriot Pro 655 E: "I don't know who talks about the shortcomings, everything was arranged for me, the power of the quotantchitter was enough to remove the entire area in a matter of minutes, it's just what I was looking for"

Feedback Dmitry from Bryansk about Interskol SMB-650E: "I risked buy a domestic snow blower, and even a novelty. In general, he was satisfied, rushing the snow well, only the handle is low and little light from the headlights, but the rest is pleased. "

Thus, thinking about what a snow blower to choose for home reviews, you can rely on user rating, as the opinion and characteristics usually coincide.

How to make a snow blower yourself

If you like to collect and tinker, then make a snow removal technique for home with your own hands will be for you.

To make a small petrol snow blower, prepare the following items:

Note! If you are planning to equip homemade device air cooledDo not forget to provide protection for the air intake.

From the selected billets, the machine is compact, the width is no more than 65 cm. Basic in the design there will be a homemade auger to make it make the following:

• Cut 4 disks from the metal sheet.
• Cut them in half and bend it in the spiral.
• Collect all the blanks on one pipe, the edges of which are equipped with bearings.
• Homemade Snow Cleaning Screw.

Bearings can be any, most importantly, so that they come in size, that is, their inner diameter should coincide with the pipe diameter. Additionally, it should be boiled glasses to install bearings in the bucket sidewalls for snow reception.

To make a frame, you should weld the corners, and to their diameters to mount the planks so that the engine platform is quick-consuming. Do not forget to attach to the frame of equipment or wheel to the framework, so that your homemade snow blower can move.

Below is the video material on the independent making machine for snow cleaning.

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 an engine fixed on it (power unit), the drive transmitting the rotational motion of the motor shaft to the elements of the mechanism for cleaning snow, the most cleaning device and controls and controls the entire unit.

Snowplow for home

Depending on the type and configuration, the snow removal can be equipped with these main nodes in a particular version, as well as other additional devices and parts. 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. We are produced very limited model side 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 non-self-propelled electric and gasoline machines are conventionally 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 is additionally provided manual start 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 snow-career on caterpillar have increased patency And they can work in a complex relief when there are many bumps, holes, steep slopes, as well as on the path of their following. 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.

Some tracked snowmets have a stepless 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 models 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 self-propelled machines The system of their control 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 have another useful option - heated handles.

This kind of snow blowing equipment on the Russian market is represented by 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, are not equipped. 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.

The artician of the first species is most often offered 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 additional equipment - Hinged container under the grove of 60 l. 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 technology. 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. The optimal option 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;
• her engine has reliable protection from overheating;
• 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 option does not always justify yourself - for charging the battery you need to constantly monitor, and in a strong frost, it is likely that will not be able to issue the necessary for launch of DVS power.

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. The harder the conditions, the 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.

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 the snow in the dark - the days of the winter are short - and there is no artificial lighting on the cleaned 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.

Snowplows are techniques for snow cleaning during the cold season. It is widely used on the roads, in the courtyards, on railroad tracks, airfields, stadiums and other territories. Snow is removed by discarding or shifting snowstorms to the side.

Snow cleaning techniques: types of snowplows

According to the type of working body, modern snowplows are divided into 4 types:

1. Rotary. Snow removal special equipment with the help of a special working body discarded snow to the side by 50 m.
2. Plows. The working body of the technique is a plow that throws up the accumulated snow on both sides or one side from the car. Machines are clearing the road strip up to 5 m.
3. Taranne. The operator's working body can break through the trench of a depth of 5, 2 m. Used to clearing large snowdrifts and significant snowy drifts.
4. Jet. With the help of hot gases emanating from the machine nozzle, the snow plows of this species are inflated, and then the snow melts.

Varieties and features of rotary snowpots

Rotary snow cleaning machines are divided into 3 types:

• milling and rotary;
• cunning;
• plumber rotary.

Milling-rotary snow purifier is used to eliminate snow shafts formed by bulldozers and plug-in models, as well as during snow loading for further export. A powerful milling feeder easily cuts pieces of a snowdrift of any density and serves them on the rotor, folding the assembled snow to the side.

The cunning snow blower is used to eliminate snow shafts and cleaning the snow of medium density from the roads. It is used to discard snow to the side and its loading for transport for further export and disposal. The snow falls into the working organ of the snowpressure, where it breaks down and discarded through a groove for a distance of 20 m.

The plumb rotary snowplow can be used to clean the objects of different purposes from the layer of loose snow. Differs compactness at the expense of a combined working body. The disadvantage of technology is a major output and consumes relatively much energy. Snowplows of this type are equipped with different chassis and come wheel, way and tracked.

Plugging snow plows

Modern snow cleaning machines are overall all-metal structures that are located on railway reinforced trolleys. The special equipment is equipped with knives, snow plows dropped by side wings.

Helpful information! Powerful plugging snow plows effectively discard snow from the path into one or two sides, while visibility from the control cab is not disturbed.

Side wings and plow are controlled by hydraulics. The wings located on the sides of the Plow Snow Plow, easily expand the snow trench even in deep snowdrifts, creating areas for snow accumulation at the next snowfall. Plow can be quickly lowered and raise, so as not to hurt the arrow transfers, moving and other items.

Snapper fenders

Equipment for cleaning snow of this type is used to clear the deepest drifts in cases where Plugi-pilots and Plow Snowplowers are not effective. It has an explicit advantage when there is a plot for throwing snow. A powerful thane snowplow is a special wagon from durable steel reinforced design.

The valve is based on the steel frame, which is installed on 2 double-axle reinforced car carriages. On the side of the pushing of the frame by locomotive to the steel solo-rolled car trail attached an auto-carpet. It passes along the axis of the car and is fixed on the pivot of the front of the special equipment. Due to this, the thane snowplow perfectly fits on turns, excluded the extension of techniques from rails.

Jet Snowpressors

To clean from the snow of the station tract, the shooting transfers, the horses of the stations use snow plows. The base of the technique is the platform or autodring, which has a turbojet engine. Through the nozzle located behind the car on the way are blowing hot traffic fumes. They effectively blur, melt, and then evaporate the snow.

Rail jet Snapper Jet Blower - Machine with a powerful engine from a reactive aircraft. This railway is applied on access roads and depot territory. The principle of the device is a powerful jet blows snow from all the items that came across on her way. The jet temperature is 315 ° C, so most ice and snow evaporate.

Important! The main drawback of the reactive snowplow is a strong noise published by the technique in the process of work. For this reason, the jet rotors are used within the depot.

Municipal snow removal equipment of different countries

Most of the civilized countries are effectively fighting with the effects of snowfall, which cause ice and traffic jams on the roads. If you use overseas experience to eliminate the problem, you can borrow many interesting and useful ideas in terms of maintenance and cleaning roads.

Japan

The difficult task of cleaning roads from snow is facing utilities of the mountain and northern regions of Japan. If hot springs are located along the road, the polyvalki is installed near them. During abundant snowfall, water flows on them, as a result of which the snow melts. In areas where this method is ineffective, use special equipment for snow harvesting.

Sugges 5 m high - a familiar phenomenon for Japan. Every year, the countries of the country covers a high layer of snow, which can be removed using 2-4 types of technology. At first, the snow blower with a rumble is "brazed" in the snow, then excavators and a different special equipment work, which creates snow and throws it into 2-3 m up. The special equipment clears the tracks on the boundaries of road marking, which is why snow corridors appear.

USA

The territory of America is in various climatic zones, so in different states a special way to clean the snow is applied. For example, in Missouri state, a snow removal truck with a roomy trailer is used for rapid snow cleaning. It is equipped with 2 buckets - in front and along the entire length of the trailer, which allows you to cleanse several bands at the same time. Accompanying, the car unfolds a trailer across the road and cries the snow while driving. TOWPLOW snow cleaning special equipment was adopted by other states.

Finland

According to the legislation of Finland, the maintenance of roads common use Must be based on contracts. Regional centers are concluded with contractors. The owners of various institutions and owners of private houses independently clean the sidewalks near buildings. To do this, they use a snowmobile for home purchased on their own funds.

Helpful information! Finnish highway divided by service quality for 3 categories. The special equipment for the cleaning of snow first processes the road reagents of the highest category. Then the technique compacted the snow and richly sprinkles him with a crumb of granite on secondary roads and caciliation.

On the highways of Finland for snow cleaning applied cargo transport. On other roads are used tracked or wheel tractors. To equalize the rank, the graders sometimes use. More often this work is performed using knife blocks that are installed on tractors and other vehicles.

Russia

The condition of the roads in Russia is a problem, an up-to-date every winter for utilities and car owners and residents of cities. According to established standards and rules in the winter, municipal, federal and regional roads with solid coating should be cleaned of snow and ice. Due to insufficient financing of this field of activity, reality does not always coincide with the detailed road cleaning rules.

According to the federal road agency, it is unrealistic to clean immediately everywhere, breaking the road to move. In this regard, it is worth equal to civilized countries in which snow cleaning occurs almost unnoticed, and at the rush hour, the special equipment does not interfere with the movement of transport. Foreign road services sometimes emerge difficulties during snow harvesting after strong blizzards and snowfalls. However, the revolution on their roads is rarely considered to be force majeure, whereas for Russia it is the norm.

Before the beginning winter period It is worth thinking about buying snow removal special equipment, with which you can quickly, high quality and effectively clean the roads, sidewalks and country areas from snow. Choosing snow plows for home or municipal destination, it is necessary to take into account the features of the operation of the equipment. Much depends on the purpose of the cleared territory and from the volume of area. For example, for cleaning urban streets, you can choose a paw snow loader, for cleaning from snow parking and similar territories a tortor is suitable, and optimal option For highways - combined road special equipment.

Winter, as in a famous joke, always comes unexpectedly. And the mother-nature loves to throw our surprises to us, having pampening by frosty in the morning and pouring high drifts in the evening. In terms of our climate, we all face the problem of a large number of snow on sidewalks and on the roadway. For his cleaning, we are forced to use special techniques. And then the main assistant in the cleaning of roads is snow removal technique, which sweeps, creates or leans snow to the place of his collection.

On the Russian market of snow removal equipment, the first of the cars for efficient snow cleaning on the extensive areas of urban streets, a paw snowproof loader. Such utility technique is a highly specialized capable of performing only one operation - mechanical loading of snow.

The first such cars appeared in the 1920s, and since the 1950s they began to apply massively. According to the reviews of public service specialists, snow cleaning from the roadway is the laps - the best solution to the problem. The paw snowproof loader, unlike the road machines with the blade and the tubing snowpots, removes the snow shafts, including on the roads, and does not narrow the road at work, and therefore reduces the probability of occurrence for this reason through the peak hours.

Despite the fact that the lap loader in its work uses additional techniques - a grader to create a snow shaft and dump truck for snowing snow, its use is economically justified compared to other loading equipment, as it is able to upload a much larger volume of snow than front loaders .

Snow-loader model DM 09 with a lap feeder and a scraper conveyor produced by LLC "Road Machinery Plant" (Rybinsk) is the latest design development, which has no analogues in our country today.

The machine with wheel formula 4x4 and weighing 7200 kg is designed specifically for operation in conditions of up to -40 ° C, in "Stuffing" only proven and reliable Russian and imported components. From its numerous counterparts is characterized by advanced possibilities, among which - an increased height of the unloading of the material designed for the body different species dump trucks, as well as the possibility of loading through the dump truck when the technique of "Trail in the next" is moving. Snow loader cabin new ergonomic design provides panoramic overview.

The drive is carried out by the power unit, traditionally located in the rear of the machine. The transmission is hydrostatic, with two ranges of the machine movement - working and transport, with the possibility of shutdown front Bridge. The chassis is equipped with working brakes embedded in all wheels. The use of shovels with a carbide working edge gives additional confidence in work, and good access to hydraulic equipment And the wide unification of spare parts with similar municipal equipment will delight with easy service.

Combined road vehicles

To clean the roads from snow and land, the following are combined road vehicles (CDM) - cars with a rich set of equipment for the distribution of antifungal materials, duty and high-speed snowmock. Fastening the working bodies on this type of snow removal technique can be carried out in front, behind or on the side. Traditionally, the technique is offered both on the basis of automotive chassis and on the basis of dump trucks.

Among domestic producers Such machines are allocated products of CJSC Kominvest-AKMT, one of the largest enterprises for the production of communal and road equipment. Combined Road Machines The company offers on domestic car chassis KAMAZ, Belarusian chassis MAZ, and installations on import chassis MAN, Volvo, Mersedes, Scania are also available to the order.

For work in winter, the mod is especially interesting. MKDU-1 on the basis of the KAMAZ-65115 car with the EPOKE Sirius AST distributor. Equipment for snow harvesting is selected with all the necessary. The rotary dust of the City-3400 is fixed ahead with a width of a snowmock to 3.4 m, in the center - the CSC-2500 brush with a sweep width up to 3 m, the EPOKE SIRIUS AST-1009 spreading equipment is installed from the width of the distribution of antifungal materials up to 12 m. In the standard Performance two tanks for moisturizing 1568 liters, providing moisturizing on a disk from 7 to 30%.

The machine is completely hydrocated. Power selection for hydraulic pump drive is carried out by applying a special power take-off box without using cardanian Valathat significantly improves reliability and kp. Hydraulus. The capacity of the sandbroceractor body is 6 m 3, dosage and distribution width are installed during operation, and regardless of the speed of movement. As a result, a precisely specified distribution of anti-rolling materials per 1 m 2 surface of the road is ensured. The working mechanism of the distributor consists of an unloaded conveyor belt, stirring shaft feeding the shaft and rubber bases. On the tape is always the same amount of the material distributed (usually not more than 20-25 kg) due to the synchronization of tape and shafts.

From new products in the range of combined road machines, fresh mod can be distinguished. ED300K production of Mercator-Service Art.

The main difference from competitors is the presence of a two-fuel nutrition system. Machine performed on the basis of the improved chassis KAMAZ-53605-3954-L4, with power installation Cummins can work both in the "gas plus diesel fuel" mode and only on diesel fuel. Four gas cylinders with a total volume of 492 liters are set horizontally behind the driver's cab. The degree of replacement of diesel fuel during the operation of the machine in urban conditions - from 35%, and in operating conditions on regional roads and highways - from 45%.

The car has a modern verified equipment of the company "Itgaz Engineering", which uses the technologies of the Italian-Canadian company Westport with the possibility of calibration for real operating conditions. The car is beneficial to the cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness. Depending on the specific operating conditions, the savings can be from 20 to 50%. The resulting effect in this case is the difference between the costs of the conditional 100 km of the mileage when working on pure diesel fuel and costs in gas duct mode. It is gratifying that the re-equipment made did not affect the engine power. Moreover, kpd The engine with gas dialing system is higher than kp.d. The cummins base engine is about 3-5%. This is explained by the fact that the mixing formation in the suction path is improved, that is, a large degree of homogeneity is achieved. fuel mixes. Measures show that emissions harmful substancesProduced during the operation of the machine, significantly lower than the EURO 4 class indicators.

In the standard version, in the winter kit, a reliable and easy-to-use front blade TN34 with a hydrocopy system, a central brush of high performance OMP-253 and a modern automatic Distributor of UH-3000D reagents with moisturizing, chain conveyor and a special ripper for additional grinding of antifungal materials.

Combined road vehicles can be equipped with plenty hinged equipment, options here are many.

So, Polyminix LLC (Smolensk) offers a whole range of high-quality equipment for the maintenance of roads. In her arsenal more than 90 packages of road machines. The camshafts of the antifungal materials of this manufacturer are supplied with a mixture with a scraper conveyor with two lamellar light-resizing chains, such a chain is not afraid of rust, does not require lubricant and care, saves mobility under any conditions, and during repair you can simply replace any link or part of the chain. The scattering disk with a diameter of 670 mm with profile blades of structural steel 4 mm thick can rotate with a frequency of up to 800 rpm. The proposed rotary screws with a rubber knife provide tracking of the longitudinal and transverse road profile and high-quality cleaning, and the rubber knife envelopes the hatches on the road. The raising and lowering of the dust is carried out by a hydraulic cylinder, which has built-in hydraulic scams to prevent the drop in the drag when the hydraulic system is disrupted. There is a stepless adjustment of the working angle of dust left and right up to 30 °. In the standard version, the snow plow was taken in its composition, made of 4 mm thick with a steel sheet.

The company also produces a combined swivel dump with rubber and steel knives. The rubber knife is effective for cleaning the road sheets from the freshly empty snow, and the steel is good to remove the russum, "will not leave" in front of the "lying police" and at the crossroads of roads. The control is carried out from the electric console from the driver's cab using an electrofiled hydraulic distributor. The wing of the blade is made of a steel sheet with a thickness of 4 mm, rearly rear with longitudinal and transverse edges; Frame frame - from pipes 80x40x4 and 60x60x3.5 mm. Dump can be like a self-removable, and not self-removal.

It will be useful in winter and high-speed dump, which copies the longitudinal and transverse road profiles and discards the snow at a distance of 10-20 m. The mood and removal of the damage are made using the hydraulic system of the machine without the use of foreign lifting equipment. The average road brush from Polyminix LLC is designed to clean the road leaf from snow, slush and mud. The brush is recruited from fast-consuming discs with a polypropylene pile. The drive of the brush is carried out by a hydraulic motor located directly on the brush, which provides a high resource. In stock And hydraulic protection of the drive from overload, to preserve performance after the obstacle to the obstacle, even when the brush is complete. Excluded garbage and aggressive materials on power units car. Equipment Polyminix LLC is intended for installation on car chassis and KAMAZ dump trucks, MAZ, ZIL, Ural, Tractors and Loaders.

Dumps and measles

For those who prefer European mood quality, there is also something to choose from.

The ISP GROUP engineering company since 2007 offers a line of reliable snow removal dumplings of Dobrowolski. The Polish manufacturer of more than 40 years produces a line of snow removal dumps, being one of the leaders in its industry. Snow removal dumps of this brand are excellent for effective winter cleaning of highways and high-speed roads from snow, slush and ice.

The PDS type, made of increased resistance steel, is a segment heavy highway electric-conductor with an electro-hydraulic drive. It consists of three, four or five segments that adapt to the irregularities of the road and rise after the snowplow attendance to the barrier. The width of purification ranges from 2 to 3.4 m. Combined steel-rubber or rubber lem people have high strength.

Snow removal of TM2 type is a medium road snow removal with an electro-hydraulic drive and a blade of plastic. It is made in several versions: without wheels and deflected lemum; with deflected lemche; With a deflected lemmet and deflected dump. The width of the cleaning of snow in this model is from 2.7 to 3.2 m. The hydraulic system is protected from overloading overload valve. The distributor performs functions of raising, lowering, "swimming" and turning the plow. The motor is powered by a car battery, also provided drive from the Hydraulics of the Chassis itself. Dobrovolski dumps serially equipped with overall lights. All control is carried out from the cab. Plumber equipment is characterized by increased abrasion resistance and a small friction coefficient. ISP Group offers dumps, as well as installing them on the chassis of domestic and foreign manufacturers.

With cleaning from snow parking, warehouse space, industrial areas, construction objects are perfectly coping with the core snow blowers. Popularity is obvious: having in the park special equipment Mini loader or an excavator loader, frontal or telescopic loader, any of them can be equipped with a tubing equipment, which will allow at low speed and with minimal loads on the carrier machine to remove the territory. At the same time, the savings are evident, because the work schedule can be made up so: morning and evening - snow cleaning, and the day is the performance of standard works.

Such equipment supplies LLC Tradition-K ": the proposed Impulse Schnecors - domestic equipment made from Russian and European components. Impulse SR1850 mounted snow blower is made of high-quality wear-resistant materials, which guarantees long-term operation of the equipment. A simple and reliable design ensures uninterrupted periodic use of equipment on uncomplicated work on cleaning from the snow of local roads, sidewalks and territories. Powerful rotor design, frequent turns, breaking compact and porous snow without jamming it in a snowmate nozzle, reliable hydraulic drive exclude mechanical wear of parts that can lead to a breakdown. The compact dimensions of the sphermery also allow you to use it in the conditions of cramped space, for example in country and cottage settlements. Maneuverability of mini-equipment in combination with the possibility of adjusting the rotation and angle of the Impulse SR1850 snow blower box set allow you to organize snow ejection at the desired angle and on the required distance.

With the beginning of the winter season, it is time to think about the acquisition of snow removal techniques, which will help to quickly and highly clean the roads from snow. Snow flow varieties are actually many. When choosing a specific machine, first of all, the features of its planned operation should be taken into account, which in certain cases may be different. It all depends on the volume of cleaning area. So, for the cleaning of urban streets, the optimal tool is a paw snow turnover, for automotive trails - a combined road car, and for parking and territories - a torch. But with the choice of equipment for the cleaning of snow, it is not worth tightening, because, unlike the Canary Islands, the snow in our cities goes every winter.

but for their parents Snow does not bring so much joy.

For them, he is a headache, because he interferes:

• go in the yard;
• out from the yard;
• lend From the yard or out of the garage.

Even in those cases where the number of snow does not prevent the car's departure, he doesn't care delivers a lot of trouble.

After all, walking through the snow almost always ends with the fact that the man returns home with wet:

• top clothing;
• shoes.

So snow cleaning - urgent need.

Utility services Cleaning snow, but clean only:

• common roads;
• sidewalks.

And it is not always. If you want to complain To clean the snow, but do not know where, then read this.

Therefore, both the courtyard and a plot around the house, you have to clean alone, with this will help you to cope with a snowpower.

Electric noncommet snow blowers weigh from 5 to 30 kilograms. Read more about electrical snow blowers, read their characteristics and differences.

In addition, gasoline snowproofers need such regulatory events, as:

• replacement of the air filter;
• change of oil;
• adding oil to gasoline (only two-stroke engines);
• cleaning candles;
• adjustment of valves.

More details service You can read gasoline snowflowers in this article (how to maintain gasoline snow blowers).

Diesel Snowplows differ from gasoline other fuel ignition principle. After all, the diesel is impossible to set up in spark. Therefore, in such devices, the fuel lights up with air heating during compression.

• hard;
• more expensive.

Therefore, they put on self-propelled snow blowers, where a big mass is not a problem.

Service and regulatory activities Diesel snow blowers are the same as in gasoline devices.

Nozzle On the motoblock is an ordinary noncommunicable unit in which there is no engine.

Such device connect to Motoblockwhich not only moves it, but also rotates the auger, ensuring the removal of snow.

Therefore, the width of the grip is selected based on the motor power of the motor-block.

Snowplows of this type have such advantages:

• cost cheaper self-propelled equal performance;
• easier to maintain and repair.

Here (hinged devices for equipment) We told in detail the attached aggregates for:

• various garden equipment;
• cars.

You can use as a propeller. For example, Niva or UAZ, as well as snowmobiles.

In most cases, such aggregates have:

• do independently;
• order Their production in the locksmith and car repair shops.

Here (self-made attachments for equipment) You can read more about homemade Hinged devices for:

• cars;
• snowmobiles;
• another technique.

Motor power

Motor power indicate:

• horsepower ( l. from.);
• kilowatts per hour ( kWh).

All motors can be conditionally divided by power:

• weak - up to 5 liters. from. or 3.68 kWh;
• middle - up to 10 liters. from. or 7.36 kWh h;
• powerful- Over 10 liters. from. or 7.36 kWh.

The greater the power of the motor, the more deep snow can be removed the unit.

If the motor power is not enough, then sharply:

• dalnation dropsfolding snow;
• reduced resource gasoline and electric motor.

The wider capture (bucket), the more snow needs to throw out. therefore motor power should be higher.

If the snow blower is equipped with a wheeled or crawler drive, then at a minimum half power Will spend money on the movement of the unit.

Therefore, the power of such devices must be twicethan that of non-self-interest counterparts.

Thickness of snow

The thickness of the snow with which a snow blower can cope, depends on such factors, as:

• motor power;
• screw diameter;
• the height of the bucket.

On the low-power Devices The height of the snow is limited to the value of 10-15 centimeters.

On devices S. powerful Motor (over 5 l. s.) The height of the snow is limited only to the height of the bucket. On some models, it reaches 100 centimeters.

In addition, driving motors with a motor over 8 liters. from. Higher drifts can be removed.

Appointment of snow blowers

By destination All snow blowers can be divided as:

• for fresh snow;
• for fresh and flattened snow;
• for anyone Snow and ice.

Despite the fact that all snow blowers are designed to clean snow, there are models that can delete only soft fresh snow.

To such models include:

• screw shovels;
• low-power manual electrical units;
• low power manual gasoline units.

Schneke shovel - This is the further development of the usual shovel, to which the auger was added.

Thanks to the shower, Snow does not have to learn manually. It is enough to keep the shovel forward, and the screw, which refers to the snow, will throw it on the roadside.

Clean such a shovel can only be fresh snow with a thickness of the cover. up to 10 centimeters.

Her weight It is 3-5 kilograms, therefore such an aggregate even a teenager will be able to:

• pull out a barn;
• use for snow cleaning.

Low-power electric and gasoline snow blowers are divided into two types:

• throwing off the snow fence;
• throwing off the snow by 4-5 meters in any direction using a rotary gutter.

They are used in the same way like a screw shovel - put on the snow and move in the right direction.

At the same time, the snow, depending on the design of the unit, departs either forward or in the selected side.

Weight such devices 10-25 kilograms, so to pull them out of the garage required sufficient physical strength or assistant.

In addition, large areas using such devices required:

• good physical strength;
• endurance.

After all, not only push the unit weighing up to 25 kilograms, but also to move the snow located in front of it.

Due to the presence of rubber coating, auger of such devices does not damage the clean surface.

There are also models that can remove not only fresh and cluttered snow, as well as to consider ice crust and growths.

They are differentin the following indicators:

• large motor power (over 10 liters.);
• weight more than 70 kilograms;
• wheeled or caterpillar drive;
• equipped with a metal screw.

Such devices no need to push Forward so that they remove the snow. It is enough to direct their movement.

Distinguish devices capable of removing the blind snow and those that can overcome even ice can be inscriptions on the packaging and the unit of the unit.

In addition, in parameters

If you need to clean the large area (over 50 square meters) or a thick layer of snow, choose powerful Self-propelled snow blowers.

After all, to clean the thick layer of snow by a low-power non-communicable unit very hard. It is necessary to strain hard by clogging on the purified surface.

In the article (how to choose a self-propelled snow blower) we tell how to choose a self-propelled snowman.

Communal services For cleaning roads and streets it is better to use a snowmail combine.

Safety when working with snow blowers

The high power of the motor and the rotating auger turns any snow removal unit into the object increased danger.

it especially relevant For powerful self-propelled units that are equipped with a gentle metal screw that can even cut too thick branches.

Useful video

From this video you can find out what exactly the criteria choose a snow blower:

Output

All snow blowers are divided into many classes and types. Due to this, you can choose a device that is optimally suitable for one or another situations.

Therefore, there are no bad classes or types of snow blowers, there are only inappropriate:

• size and shape of the site;
• the physical capabilities of the one who will use them;
• financial opportunities;
• thickness and density of snow;
• size of storage space.
