MB ｜Jet sweeper｜MB3
Clearing process
The MB3 combines two steps into one single operation and brings your runway quickly back to concrete. The brush clears the snow and slush while the air blower unit generates a powerful air flow to remove any remaining moisture.
Snow plow
Clean and aggressive clearance is achieved with the MB P5000 Series airport snow plows These are designed for fast snow clearance at airports and offer outstanding performance with optional straight or flared configurations.
Sweeping unit
The hydraulically-driven 46 inch diameter brush is mounted to a supporting frame and suspended via a parallelogram lifting system, so that it rests on the surface regardless of vehicle movement and uneven ground. The brush’s automatic and stepless sweeping pattern adjustment is carried out hydraulically. During operation, the brush speed is adjusted automatically to suit the driving speed and shown on the control panel’s display. A long brush service life is possible – thanks to auto-pattern brush adjustment system.
Optional snow shed hood and vibrator to remove accumulated snow off the broom available.
Blower unit
The blower unit of the MB3 is located directly behind the sweeping unit. The blower removes any remaining water and slush from the clearing area at air speeds up to 400 mph, ensuring optimum friction values and better braking action on runways. The blower is driven hydraulically by the auxiliary engine via a variable displacement pump.
Drive
The MB3 base unit is driven by a 375 hp electronic turbocharged T4F EPA emission certified diesel engine. Chassis engine is utilized to power the ground drive system paired with Allison RDS 4000, 6 speed transmission for unmatched reliability and performance. Optional 496 hp engine available for larger width snow removal attachments.
Motion control
State-of-the-art control technology is an important step in the safe and efficient clearing of airport operation areas. Logical and intuitive menu navigation and automatically controlled processes help to support drivers by ensuring that concentration remains focused on the clearing operation. The display indicates the operating hours engine speed, brush revolution speed and blower performance. The display also provides a comprehensive diagnostics.
Service concept
Preventive maintenance is made simple with accessible filters and fluid drains. Additionally, the optional auto-lube keep your pivot points greased and ready for the next snow event.
