The difference between a snowplow and a snow blower?
The temperature has dropped sharply, and winter is coming, but with the arrival of winter is not only low temperature but also heavy snowfall. It’s beautiful when it snows, but the snow after it snows can also be a big problem. The snow on the road is easy to slip, which affects the safety of walking; too much snow will cause road congestion; and then the snow clearing work requires manual cleaning, which takes a long time. These series of problems are troubling, but the emergence of snowplows effectively solves this problem.
Snow removal is urgent, and the market has invented different snow removal tools, such as snow plows and snow blowers, according to the different needs of users. So what are their advantages and where are the differences? The following editor will analyze the difference between the two in detail.
First, a brief introduction to snowplows and snow blowers. Both snow plows and snow blowers are equipment used to clean snow on roads in winter. Among them, the snowplow does not need to use salt or snow melting agents when cleaning and can adapt to various road conditions, and the snow removal efficiency is as high as 95%. It can quickly clean the snow in the expressway and urban road areas, and the snow accumulation and snow accumulation are integrated, which has the advantage of convenient and efficient snow removal.
Compared with other snow removal machines, the snow blower has a more complex structure and a more reasonable design, which can be said to be a major technical improvement in the snow removal industry. It consists of a prime mover, transmission device, snow collection device, snow removal device, walking system, and operating system. The snow is collected by a snow collection device, which is thrown to the side of the road with a snow shovel or auger, or collected in a device. Among them, snow-throwing impellers and blowers are the most common. The machine is controlled by mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic controls, allowing normal driving on the road without snow plowing.
In this way, it seems that both can remove snow, and there is not much difference between them, but the difference between the two is highlighted on different occasions. In terms of use functions, the snow blower is suitable for thick snow, thin snow, and muddy roads below 20cm. There is a slight angle between the rolling brush of the snowplow and the forward direction of the machine. When the machine is self-propelled, the rolling brush rotates forward to sweep the snow to one side.
The snow blower is slightly better at cleaning snow, because it is suitable for slightly thicker snow, will automatically eat the snow into the snow bucket, and then throw the snow with wind and centrifugal force through the snow-throwing device. The snow-throwing height and angle can be adjusted arbitrarily. However, after the snow blower removes the snow, there will be a little snow on the ground. In contrast, the snow blower has a stronger cleaning power and can clean the ground after one sweep. The snow blower is more powerful than the snow blower, and there is no limit to the thickness of the snow.
Generally speaking, if there is normal snow accumulation and the cleaning area is large, it is suitable to use snow blowers. Simple and easy to operate, fuel-driven, the operator only needs to control the direction, and the cleaning effect is obvious. If the snow is thick, with a thickness of about 15cm or even thicker, it is more suitable to use a snow blower. The snow blower can throw snow into a far open area, and in rainy and snowy weather, it can quickly open up a road.
So everything has good and bad, you can’t have both. If you want to clean and clean, you can choose a snow blower. If you need to quickly clean thick snow, a snow blower is the best choice. This should be determined according to their own needs and specific circumstances.
