Cleaning concept

The AS 660  boasts outstanding suction power, a 7 m3 hopper and a large water volume for long sweeping distances and maximum efficiency. With a self supporting frame, the sweeper can be mounted on any conventional two-axle truck chassis in the 15 – 18 tonne class, provided that the requirements for approval in terms of load capacity are met – a unique concept that offers maximum flexibility and adaptability.

Suction system

The rear suction unit enables full surface cleaning across the entire vehicle width. The high suction power and flow-optimised suction shaft ensure outstanding collection of debris – even persistent dirt and liquids. The flexible suspension, combined with a two-part suction vehicle, ensures that the suction nozzles ideally adjust to the swept surface, even when the truck is on a steep incline or uneven roads. 

 

The transverse shift to the left or right enables lateral adjustment when driving straight ahead. The rear suction unit can therefore be positioned closer to the curb, while the corresponding pneumatic suspension also serves as lateral collision protection. The rear suction unit is not dependent on the type of truck and its operation is fully integrated into the ES control panel, enabling simple and easy control whilst driving.

Rear suction functions

  • Lateral adjustment -80 /0/ +80
  • Debris flap
  • Inclination locking of the two suction shafts (locking of the center joint)
  • Floating axle – wheels on pivoted carrier rockers for optimal contour tracking in the driving direction
  • Quick height adjustment on the floating axle
  • Optional high-pressure spray bar, before or after the rear suction unit

Operation

State-of-the-art control technology is an important step towards safe and efficient sweeping. Logical and intuitive menu navigation and automatically controlled processes help drivers remain focused on the road.
