Chapter 3 Description of the Machine and Technical Features
3.1 NAME OF THE MACHINE
The machine is called:
M60 Mechanical - Suction Street Sweeper.
3.2 FORESEEN USE
The M60 Mechanical - Suction Street Sweeper has been designed to perform a complete cleaning cycle
of urban areas: sweeping, collection and discharge of material collected.
INFORMATION
Any use different to that indicated is not foreseen and can cause damage to the machine
and to the Operators.
Sweeping is via two side brushes that convey the dirt to the centre of the vehicle, towards a central brush
that projects the dirt inside a central loader mechanism which carries it into the hopper.
The side sweeping unit is formed by the brushes. A high capacity vacuum turbine, actuated by a
hydraulic engine, creates a vacuum inside the waste hopper and in the loader, sucking the dust produced
by the brushes. The waste collected in the hopper can be discharged on the ground, or in another hopper,
through tipping of the rear tipper. The sweeper is intended for use by personnel experienced in the
management of operating machines and equipped with suitable driving license (B or higher).
3.3 LAY-OUT OF THE MACHINE
The machine can be divided into 5 main sections:
–Chassis
–Cabin
–Engine and servo
–Waste hopper
–Cleaning system
