Snowmelter 40-PD

The Trecan 40-PD is an excellent choice for small snow contractors, condominiums, apartment buildings, small airports, universities, parking lots and shopping plazas. With a capacity of 40 tons per hour, it can be loaded with a Skid Steer or backhoe as its 9 million BTU/hr burner can melt 80 to 150 cubic meters of snow with an average snow density of 5 to 10 m per hour.

The melting tank is loaded from the back of the trailer. The carbon steel melting tank is typically 8′-2″ (2.49m) wide, but can be ordered in an extended version 10′ (3.05m) wide. A clean out door is located on the back 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, the melt water exits the tank through overflow drains located at the front of the tank and on either side of the trailer.

Other options include: snow-start, plug-in immersion heaters, battery charger, jet fuel rated components, stainless steel melting tank, custom paint colors, electro-hydraulic landing gear, and engine room acoustic insulation.
