THE TYMCO REGENERATIVE AIR SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The blower generates a constant blast of high velocity air that is directed down the pressure
side of the machine and into the pick-up head. Blast air travels across the pick-up head, picking
up normal debris and refuse in its path and sending it up the suction side of the machine.
At the same time that the blower is directing pressure down the pressure side, it is taking air
from inside the hopper, creating a suction; and consequently, it pulls debris up into the hopper.
The debris is deposited into the hopper while dusty air passes through the screen to a
multipass, centrifugal dust separator. The fines are then deposited back into the hopper
through the skimmer slot. Air, containing very fine dust, then moves into the blower and repeats
its cycle.
The unique REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER uses no restricting filters, resulting in more en
-
ergy to do your work. Since the blower is used to push and pull, restriction due to clogging or
modification to any of the air passages will greatly affect the sweeper’s performance. In other
words, PRESSURE FOR THE BLAST depends on ample volume of air through the suction;
SUCTION depends on the discharge of air from the blast orifice.
Another point to consider is the fact that a very small air leak at the dump door, inspection
doors, hand hose door, or suction hose will often cause a dusty condition. If the leak is severe
enough, air will have a slower velocity and performance will be lowered.
DO NOT ALLOW EVEN A SMALL AIR LEAK
CLEAN FRESH AIR DRAWN IN WILL BE DISCHARGED AS DUST
TYMCO REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER CAPABILITIES
We at TYMCO honestly believe that government officials, contractors and all personnel di-
rectly responsible for the performance and maintenance of equipment in their charge are con
-
cerned with all phases of their operation.
Sweepers are one of the most controversial pieces of equipment with reference to operating
cost, performance, and maintenance. The general public does not realize the problems and
depends on people knowledgeable in this area. You, therefore, the person responsible for the
performance and maintenance of the sweeper should use your knowledge and experience to
achieve the results expected.
The TYMCO REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER can achieve your anticipated results while
keeping cost at a minimum. However, to realize the full potential of the TYMCO REGENERA
-
TIVE AIR SWEEPER, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND ITS CAPABILITIES AND ADHERE
CLOSELY TO OPERATING AND JOB FUNCTIONS FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED.
It is a fact that a licensed driver can operate this equipment; however, we strongly recommend
that the same driver operate it daily. It is proven that ability on the equipment is increased with
experience. We suggest that every operator thoroughly read and study the manual to make
sure that he/she understands its operation before ever attempting to operate the sweeper. It is
very important that every new operator be given this opportunity and that he does not rely
solely on methods of previous operators.
