Functionality description
The A60 is a sweeper vehicle, exclusively designed for the cleaning of paved surfaces. The
refuse in front of the vehicle is collected beneath the vehicle by two brushes. There it is
sucked through the suction mouth and transported to the dirt hopper. The suction force in the
suction mouth is created by under-pressure in the dirt hopper. The fan on the dirt hopper
pumps the air out of the dirt hopper and releases it to the outside air through the air extraction
duct in the top of the dirt hopper. A labyrinth inside changes the direction of the air stream
several times, thereby reducing the noise. The refuse is moistened in the suction mouth so that
it precipitates onto the floor of the dirt hopper and cannot be blown out again.
The power supply for all the motorized components of the sweeper vehicle is supplied by a
hydraulic system. This hydraulic system is in turn powered by the diesel engine. This type of
power supply ensures that the diesel engine can maintain a constant engine speed and that all
other actions (steering, linear or rotating) are generated by regulating the hydraulic fluid flow.
For instance, the driving action, the steering mechanism, the hydraulic cylinders, the
sweeping unit and the suction fan are all driven hydraulically.
Only the driving speed and fan speed are directly affected by the power and speed of the
diesel engine.
