1 Airport Snow Removal Equipment US Tier 4 / EU Stage IV Snow How 1 Vammas Snow Removal

2 PSB 5500 VAMMAS PSB 5500 Presenting a new level in snow removal efficiency The VAMMAS 3-in-1 PSB-high speed concept has been proven for years both in Europe and North America. All PSB units are manufactured to the highest standards of quality and reliability. The PSB concept is for airports where speed and efficient snow removal are most important both for the airports and for their customers. The superbly engineered VAMMAS PSB takes multitasking to a new level, combining the efficiency of a snow plow, sweeper and air-jet blower all in one unit. The PSB unit is designed to give the operator maximum visibility with the unique VAMMAS cab. The machine is short, but still long enough to have the broom parallel to the frame in transport position making it easy to drive to the garage or service area. VAMMAS PSB unit has both wheel and articulated steering, so it can turn around easily on taxiways and runways. The articulated frame steering also maintains optimally the same path for the plow, sweeper and air blower. 2

3 Faster clearing, less runway downtime. A better bottom line. The wide PSB unit offers substantial savings in capital and labor resources for airport operators by dramatically reducing the need for large fleets of narrow or single function vehicles. Several airports using VAMMAS PSB units have m ( ft) runways that are cleaned to bare pavement in less than 10 minutes. The latest technology for maximum performance in all conditions. The Advanced technology incorporated in to all PSB units includes: plows with independent spring-loaded cutting edge segments to maintain maximum contact area even on uneven surfaces dense cassette broom system for easy maintenance and option to use steel or polypropylene brooms or mix broom powerful air-jet blower to finish runways and remove snow from edge lights ergonomically designed control tower cab, with operator in the center to have excellent, all- around visibility both engines and frame steering are integrated into VAMMAS CAN-system for monitoring and diagnostics For more info, please ask for the complete specifications.

4 SB 3600 SB VAMMAS SB 3600, SB 4500 and SB 5500 VAMMAS tow-behind sweepers are built to operate at speed up to 60 km/h thanks to the use of onhighway truck components and unique design of the broom assembly. Operators only require short training since they are already familiar with driving a standard truck. Trucks can be used for other tasks in and out of season. Reliable tow-behind units with latest technology VAMMAS SB series tow-behind sweepers have been used in high speed snow removal in all sizes of commercial and military airports. The units are manufactured to the highest standards of quality, speed, reliability and simplicity New technology available for every VAMMAS SB unit for safety and performance. VAMMAS SB series units share the same design principles and standard components as other VAMMAS units. The units are fast to couple to the fifth wheel or drawbar coupling of the towing truck. In transport position the broom turns parallel to the frame. Low capital investment with high operating speed. 4

6 Compact Sweeper Blower VAMMAS CSB 3600 The VAMMAS CSB 3600 Compact Sweeper Blower is designed for usage on aprons, taxiways and runways. The CSB 3600 is built on the adapted accordingly MERCEDES - BENZ ACTROS 2032 A 4x4 chassis. Roller brush is placed between the axles of the vehicle, while the turbine (fan) cleaning the surface is built behind the rear axle. At the front of the vehicle is mounted snow plough LPC 5. The unit is working very precisely, brush speed change as well as the hydraulic ground pressure control allows for quick and effi cient work. Due to the short length and rear torsion axle, which may be directed opposite to the front axle, or in the same direction as the front axle, this unit is highly manoeuvrable. CSB3600 has the ability to work simultaneously plough, brush and a blower. It is also possible individual work of those elements. This allows the unit can also be used for summer cleaning. Changing the direction of cleaning is very quick and simple, one move of the joystick on the control panel to change the direction of the plough, brush, and the air outlet.

7 CSB 3600 Sweeper Blower Engine room In the rear part of the superstructure, there is a engine room of the sweeper. All control and drive systems like solenoid valve blocks, electrical system, hydraulic system, hydraulic oil tank are placed in the engine room. When the cover is rised, the engine room is free accesable for service and maintenance works. Broom It is located between the axles of the truck. Its attachment to the chassis frame to obtain exact constant brush pattern. The broom-pattern is adjusted hydraulically to provide optimum broom wear life. Rotation speed is adjusted automatically according to the driving speed and the broom s wear. The hydraulic ground pressure and rotation speed of the brush can be also overdriven by manual settings. Brush in the raised position is located at a height of about 15 cm above the ground. The broom-axle for the standard model is delivered with 21 cassette and support legs. Blower The blower is located at the rear end of the vehicle. The blower fan is hydraulically driven. Blower inlet is screened to prevent the entry of foreign objects and damage the fan blades. On the left and right sides of the device are tunnels through which the air comes out and cleans surfaces. Tunnels are lifting and lowering automatically, depending on the cleaning brush direction.

8 PS 3500 / PS 4200 VAMMAS PS-plow - unique mechanized method for cleaning airport edge lights The VAMMAS PS edge light plow with sweepers is designed to be an efficient heavy duty V-plow, but it also has a unique concept to clean the edge lights. Vammas PS 4200 plow has two sets of brushes, one for cleaning edge lights and the other, vertical one for airport sign cleaning. The vertical brushes can be moved in or out hydraulically. The plow can be mounted to a wheel loader, a tractor or a high clearance farming tractor with quick attachment. The only connections needed are one set of hydraulic ports and electric voltage from the base vehicle. During the cleaning, the operator opens the front cone of the plow in front of the edge light, and the sweeping brushes start to rotate. Simple. Low investment for efficient, fast cleaning and satisfied personnel Technical specifications PS 3500 PS 4200 Working width mm mm Transportation width (from front to rear) Transportation width without nose wedge (from front to rear) mm mm mm mm Maximum height of light device 520 mm mm Maximum opening of the nose wedge 800 mm 1000 mm Cutting edge angle Blade height (front/rear) 550 mm / 1100 mm 750 mm / mm Blade thickness 3 mm 3 mm Weight kg kg Skids 2 pcs 4 pcs Edge lights can be cleaned immediately after the snow event with minimal labor force, since a manual cleaning is history. The plow can be fitted with various types of cutting edges; plastic, steel net or solid steel. The small snow bank is normally cast away by a snow blower which can use the same carrier.
