What are the methods of melting snow in cities?

Common snow removal methods of urban roads

First of all, let me introduce the common snow removal methods of urban roads at present, namely melting method and clearing method (note: clearing method includes mechanical method and manual clearing method).

Ice melting method: it is a method of melting ice and snow by relying on various thermal energy or spreading chemical agents.

Mechanical method: it is a method to directly treat and remove the snow and ice on the road surface by machinery to eliminate the harm of snow and ice. Mechanical snow removal is fast and has a wide range of applications.

Manual clearing method: it is to clear the snow on the road surface by manpower, which generally consumes higher human resources and has the slowest speed.

Since we mentioned construction machinery, of course, let's talk about what equipment we have.

Common construction machinery and equipment for road snow removal

1, throw snow removal equipment.

The snow removal efficiency of throwing snow remover is generally 2000 ~ 8000 tons/hour, and the throwing distance is as far as 50 meters. Generally, the snow is sent through a milling cutter or an impeller rotor snow removal shaft, and then the snow is thrown on a snowmobile or a designated position by a snow fan and a snow throwing pipe.

2. Push snow removal equipment

Push-type snow remover pushes the snow away through snow-pushing shovels, snow plows (V-shaped plows), pavement leveling plates, lateral snow-discharging plates and other snow-removing devices installed in front of snow-shoveling machinery and vehicles, and loads the snow away after clearing the passage or piling up, or directly pushes the snow out of the roadside. In addition, there are new roller cone icebreakers, ice and snow crushers and so on.

3. Multifunctional snow removal vehicle

For example, working devices such as snow throwing device, high snow dike treatment device and drug spraying device are installed on the snow removal vehicle to improve work efficiency and reduce the time for replacing the snow removal device.
