TECHNIQUES DU MELANGE INDUSTRIEL SCRAPER BRIDGE BRUSHES

APPLICATION
Specially designed for cleaning settling structures with
overflows.

BENEFITS
- Significantly reduces costs for cleaning collecting
channels located around tanks and basins.
- By keeping the collecting channel constantly clean, the
high level of pollution caused by irregular cleaning
operations needed for eliminating algae and deposits is
avoided.
- Moreover, cleaning operations often require using heavy
equipment (vac-all vehicles, high pressure, etc.) and
monopolizing personnel for unattractive tasks.

DESIGN - PRINCIPLE
THE AUTOBROSSE rotating brush trolley is pulled
along the channel by the scraper bridge turning
thanks to a suitable mechanical system (arm or
chain) supplied with the equipment. A simple plug is
used for supplying power to the gear-motors (400 V,
3-phase 2A) for rotating the cylindrical brushes, which
are much more efficient than the simple brush that
may sometimes be used.
The two low-power motors (0.18kW) operate
continuously and to reduce electricity consumption,
they only need to be put into service just a few days
per month for a complete cleaning operation. For the
rest of the time, using the normal brushes pulled by
the bridge is enough for preventing deposits from
accumulating.
The only wear parts in the system are the brushes
themselves, which need to be replaced once a year
when the system for taking up wear has reached its
limit. This operation is very easy to carry out and only
takes a few minutes.
The mechanically welded chassis is made from
stainless steel, the brushes are in plastic and all the
fasteners are also in stainless steel. These materials
resist well against corrosion. The electric motors are
protected by circuit-breakers with their on/off controls
incorporated into IP55 plastic boxes attached to the
chassis.
