New versatile and efficient road sweepers from Bellon Mit

Extended production range for the Padua based Bellon Mit. The Veneto company has chosen the Hanover exhibition to present its extended offering of road sweepers.

The first machines to make their debut are the two front tractor-mounted models – TSPS 500 and TSPS 600 – which are primarily designed for clearing snow from road surfaces. Compared to the other models in the Bellon Mit range, the TSPS 500 and TSPS 600 are characterised by the increased brush diameter (600 mm) and the use of ring brushes that allow faster tool replacement.

Equipped with brushes with PPN bristles for optimal efficiency even at low ambient temperatures and greater wear resistance, the two sweepers manufactured by the north Italian firm feature a self-levelling system that allows the brush to move independently from the tractor so that it follows the profile of the road surface perfectly. In contrast, the Padua-based company decided to restyle its MSP sweeper for two-wheel tractors by giving it an updated dirt collector constructed of ultra-light but extremely durable plastic materials.

This unit, which can be fitted to the machine quickly and easily, gives the basic machine a high level of operating flexibility: depending on the nature of the job users can choose whether to use the sweeper without the dirt collector (tilting it through 30°) to clear snow from paths, driveways and courtyards, or in conjunction with the dirt collector to pick up residues and debris in a single pass.

Again in the sweepers segment, the company intends to launch a frontal application – model TSPK – for tractors with rated power in excess of 60 HP or for telescopic handlers. Model TSPK is equipped with completely revised hydraulics controlling both the dirt collector and the sweeper, supplied with oil by a single pair of quick couplers. This model also features a floating system to protect the sweeper from the weight of the tractor lift and a dehumidifier type dust capture system.

In addition, Bellon Mit has equipped model TSPK with both a lateral brush and the option to fit a dust collector with hydraulically controlled dumping and two high load capacity swivelling wheels.
