information

Model AS 990 is a machine mounted on an HGV
chassis. The HGV can be fitted with a single-circuit
hydraulic system to control the front-mounted

The sweeper liquid is picked up pneumatically, i.e.
a vacuum is created within the hopper by a high-

sweeping surface and deposits it in the hopper.
Outgoing air is either routed upwards and out of
the unit or is blown out through the blast nozzles.
