Snowmelter 135-PD

The Trecan 135-PD has a capacity of melting 135 tons of snow per hour. Its two 12 million BTU/hr burners (24 million BTU/hr) can melt 255 to 516 cubic meters of snow with an average snow density of 15 to 30 lbs/cu. ft. per hour. The model 135-PD is a side loading Snowmelter and the choice of many airports, municipalities and snow contractors.

Dual side loading

Dual (two) Side Loading is a standard feature on the 250-PD, 350-PD and 500-PD Snowmelters and is an option on the 135PD models.

It allows for loading of the melting tank on either side of the machine and offers more flexibility when positioning the machine prior to melting operations.

The melting tank is loaded from the left side of the trailer. The carbon steel melting tank is typically 16′ (4.88 m) long with a clear opening of 16′ (4.88 m) for loading snow. Two clean out doors are located on each side of the melting tank for removal of sediment, debris and water when melting is complete. An optional debris removal aid reduces the time to clean the melting tank. During operation, melt water exits the tank through overflow drains on the right side of the tank.

Also included are all necessary internal and external lighting and indication for safe operation. The towing arrangement uses a king pin connection to a truck fifth-wheel. Running gear includes dual-axle air ride suspension and air brakes. Other options include: plug-in immersion heaters, battery charger, jet fuel rated components, stainless steel melting tank, dual side loading melting tank, custom paint colors, snow start system, and electric/other landing gear.
