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 fi nes are then deposited back into the hopper
through the skimmer slot. Air, containing very fi ne dust, then moves into the blower and
repeats its cycle.
The unique REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER uses no restricting fi lters, resulting in more
energy to do your work. Since the blower is used to push and pull, restriction due to clogging
or modifi cation 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 orifi ce.
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.
TYMCO REGENERATIVE AIR SWEEPER CAPABILITIES
We at TYMCO honestly believe that government offi cials, contractors and all personnel
directly responsible for the performance and maintenance of equipment in their charge are
concerned 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
REGENERATIVE 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.
DO NOT ALLOW EVEN A SMALL AIR LEAK
CLEAN FRESH AIR DRAWN IN WILL BE DISCHARGED AS DUST
