Disinfection Isn’t Only for Fog-Cannon Trucks and Handheld Sprayers—Another Sibom Solution: An Enclosed Pickup Broom with an Atomizing System!

During the dry summer months each year, the fog cannon truck, a specialized vehicle, proves its effectiveness and stands out significantly. Also known as a dust suppression truck, it consists of a fog cannon, a diesel engine, a water storage tank, and the vehicle itself. The fog cannon truck requires the integration of a tanker with the fog cannon system, which contributes to the high cost of these vehicles.

The fog cannon and the driving vehicle are integrated into a single structure, which occupies a significant amount of space. When not in use, the driving vehicle remains idle and is not fully utilized. The fog cannon truck primarily serves a single function of spraying mist to moisten the air and suppress dust; it cannot replace water sprinklers for cleaning streets. Additionally, adjusting the direction of the fog cannon truck is relatively inconvenient, which presents certain drawbacks in its design and functionality.

To address this gap, Sibom has introduced a new type of disinfection spraying equipment designed for epidemic prevention. This innovative disinfection sprayer consists of a loader or skid-steer loader equipped with a front mode broom. The design is practical and easy to operate, with the driving vehicle and sprayer functioning as separate units, which enhances convenience and prevents vehicle idleness. Thanks to the ease of maneuvering loaders and skid-steer loaders, this setup not only collects street debris but also simultaneously sprays disinfectant mist. This dual functionality effectively covers road surfaces, combining mist spraying and sweeping into a single efficient process. It performs dust suppression and disinfection simultaneously, offering high practicality and suitability for widespread deployment and use, effectively solving the issues associated with traditional fog cannon trucks.

Sibom's specific technical solution involves a new type of equipment designed for epidemic prevention, which combines disinfectant spraying with sweeping and dust sterilization functions. The system includes a main unit (either a loader or skid-steer loader), an enclosed sweeper, a water tank, and a high-pressure atomization system. The sweeper is equipped with a water tank filled with disinfectant. One end of the tank is fixed with a water pipe, which connects to the atomization system at the other end. The high-pressure atomization system includes an automatic no-water controller, a liquid level alarm, and a filter, ensuring the water system is safe and reliable.

The broom is connected to the main unit via a mounting bracket and boasts the following features:

1. Forward Operation: This method of operation is safe and efficient, significantly enhancing job safety, reducing physical strain, and eliminating the health hazards associated with backward operation modes.
2. Advanced Floating Collection Board: Located at the front hopper, this new floating collection board adjusts to the terrain, greatly improving sweeping effectiveness on uneven surfaces. The board is connected with bolts and hinges, facilitating easy replacement.
3. Hydraulic Control for Discharge: The bottom of the sweeper bucket is hydraulically controlled and can be tipped to unload, greatly enhancing operational efficiency.
4. Adjustable Brush Height: The brush height can be adjusted continuously and easily. The adjustment area features a scaled steel ruler for precise settings, significantly extending the brush's lifespan.
5. Quick-Change System for Brush and Motor: The brush and motor are installed using a quick-change system, which allows for convenient and rapid replacement, greatly increasing work efficiency.
6. Innovative Mixed Bristle Brush: The brush uses a new type of mixed filaments: plastic filaments are made from high-resilience, wear-resistant polyethylene propylene, and the metal wires are made from high-resilience, wear-resistant 32SiMiTi material, substantially increasing the brush's lifespan and cleaning effectiveness.
   
   
7. Solid Caster Wheels: The sweeper is designed with four solid caster wheels, ensuring smooth operation and maneuverability. This design allows the loader to operate while turning, safeguarding the wheels' safety and durability. The front wheels feature an anti-impact shock absorption system, ensuring safe operation on uneven terrain, while the rear wheels include plane bearings that guarantee smooth 360° rotation under heavy loads.
   
   
8. Hydraulic Shock Protection System: The hydraulic system includes a protection system against hydraulic shocks, effectively safeguarding the motor and extending its service life.
9. Visibility Marking Poles by the Motors: Adding a more user-friendly design, these marking poles on both sides help with width estimation. The overall design is compact and aesthetically pleasing.

This equipment can be mounted on loaders or skid-steer loaders and is capable of sweeping dust and debris from surfaces. It quickly cleans highways, parking lots, factories, coal plants, docks, warehouses, airports, and ports. The debris swept up is collected into the hopper and can be disposed of at designated locations, making it an ideal tool for cleaning operations.

Equipping a main unit with a Sibom broom offers far greater convenience than traditional cleaning equipment, significantly reducing labor costs. Additionally, when equipped with a high-pressure atomization system, the sweeper can also perform disinfection tasks. Thus, a single piece of equipment can meet multiple needs, enhancing versatility and efficiency!

Through the introduction of the Sibom broom, we can identify several beneficial effects compared to existing solutions:

1. Versatility and Efficiency: This new equipment combines disinfectant spraying and dust removal capabilities. It is mounted at the front of the host machine and driven to the construction site. When not in use for sweeping, the host machine can be utilized for other purposes, avoiding the idle time associated with integrated fog cannon trucks. This reduces labor needs and enhances operational efficiency.
2. Resource Conservation and Effective Dust Control: The high-pressure atomization system rapidly disperses water from the tank, creating fine mist particles with excellent atomization, using less water and disinfectant. This simultaneous dust suppression during road cleaning conserves water and disinfectant resources. The ground does not accumulate water, thus not affecting traffic and avoiding secondary pollution, reducing operational costs for dust reduction and smog prevention. The high-pressure atomization system significantly controls dust raised during sweeping.
   
   

3. Mobility and Coverage: The design includes four solid caster wheels, enhancing the smoothness and maneuverability of the sweeper. Operators can easily adjust the direction of the sweeper from the loader’s cabin, ensuring thorough coverage of the cleaning and spraying operations across the worksite. It can operate automatically under all weather conditions and in various environmental settings, including high heat, low temperatures, and high humidity.
4. Efficient Operation with Skid-Steer Loaders: Skid-steer loaders, which steer by varying the wheel speed on each side of the vehicle, are compact and can pivot in place. The Sibom enclosed sweeper utilizes this feature of skid-steer loaders to achieve efficient operations, leveraging the vehicle’s ability to maneuver tightly and effectively in varied operational environments.
