High-pressure cleaner for municipal vehicles

The FSB 1.500 standard spray boom can be equipped with telescopic arms on both sides, each of which can be extended 500mm to the right and left. The use of these telescopes increases the working area, which is an advantage when cleaning surfaces as fewer travels are required. It is even possible to clean narrow areas, such as between park benches and rubbish bins, without any problems as the vehicle can go through in one straight line without additional steering movement. However, the 500m telescope is too short, forcing users to manually rework affected areas, which is time-consuming. The aim of the German company is to double the telescopic working range. The bearings must be wear-resistant, insensitive to dirt particles and mixtures of water and dirt particles, last for a long time, be easy to replace in the event of damage, be lighter, increasing the shifting speed and reducing the force required for the motor.

The double sponge bar can be telescoped continuously by 500 mm on both the right and left side. Thanks to this adaptability, the driver can clean large areas. Fiedler Maschinenbau und Technikvertrieb GmbH doubled the telescopic working range so that the operator can also clean thoroughly in all the spaces in between. To do this, the company opted for the drylin® W double rail and drylin® W housing bearings from igus®. The corrosion-free components are not only wear-resistant and insensitive to water and spray mist, sand, gravel and brake drive. They are also robust enough to withstand heavy impacts and vibrations when driving over kerbs and cobblestones. At the same time, they are light enough to maximise the load capacity for the cleaning water they carry.
