TUNNEL WASHING MACHINES - A REVIEW OF EXISTING DESIGNS OF LEADING COMPANIES OF MANUFACTURERS

Abstract

This article discusses models of tunnel washers and their brief description:

Tunnel washing machine MT-30,

Tunnel washing machine YDTC0820,

Equipment OPC-20.10 on the chassis "Belarus" Sh-406,

The hinged washing equipment BLT45,

The tunnel washer Johnston VT800 based on the Volvo FE320,

Tunnel washing machine Colas Switzerland.

Each of the presented machines has its advantages and disadvantages when cleaning road structures, including structures that are structural elements of the road: artificial structures (bridges, viaducts, viaducts, pipes, tunnels, etc.), protective structures (snow-covered forest stands , devices for protecting roads from avalanches, landslides, etc.), elements of the road economy (stops and pavilions for passengers, recreation areas, etc.). The analysis is carried out according to five different criteria: brush height, brush length, brush diameter, working water pressure, maximum power.

The goal is to identify the most effective model designed to work in megacities.
