Snowmelter 180-PD – Trinity

Snowmelter 180-PD

description

The Trecan 180-PD has a capacity of melting 180 tons of snow per hour. Its two 16 million BTU/hr burners (32 million BTU/hr) can melt 339 to 678 cubic meters of snow with an average snow density of 5 to 10 m per hour. The model 180-PD is a side loading Snowmelter and is designed for use at airports and city snow dumps.

 

 

The melting tank is loaded from the left side of the trailer. The carbon steel melting tank is typically 18′ (5.49 m) long with a clear opening of 18′ (5.49 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 (debris trays) reduces the time to clean the melting tank. During operation, the melt water exits the tank through overflow drains located at the right side of the tank.

 

 

Other options include: plug-in immersion heaters, battery charger, jet fuel compatibility package, stainless steel melting tank, water tight man door access to the melting tank, custom paint colors, engine room acoustic insulation, and air/hydraulic landing gear.
