Crosswind FSX 4 Wheel Recirculating Air Sweeper
Airports require sweepers that achieve top performance on and off the runway. To address these needs, Elgin Sweeper introduced the FSX "Fast Sweeping Crosswind." This dual-purpose sweeper maintains optimum high-speed runway pickup as well as superior pickup at slower speeds necessary for aprons and ancillary roads. The FSX sweeps at 15 mph (24 kph) on runways and at slower speeds on tarmac and ancillary roads without the time consuming process of changing the pickup head. The FSX features a turbo charged auxiliary engine and a unique pickup head and impeller capable of incredible suction power at higher speeds. Options include heavy duty caster wheels for the pickup head and a powerful lateral side air blast (single or dual) which directs a concentrated, high velocity air stream through an opening to clear away debris from protruding lights and other obstacles where side brooms can’t reach.
FEATURES & APPLICATIONS Similar to the Elgin Crosswind J, the FSX blower moves air through the sweeper to form a continuous loop. Air is blown down the pressure hose on the left side of the pickup head, creating an air knife effect that lifts the debris from the runway and tarmac area. Air and debris are then pulled to the right side of the pickup head. A vacuum suction hose picks up the debris and sends it to the hopper where it is spun around, separating the debris from the airflow. Debris falls to the hopper floor and the air stream travels into the blower and is forced back down the pressure hose
Common Crosswind FSX Applications:
- General maintenance sweeping on airport runways
- High speed sweeping of any flat, smooth surface
- Catch Basin cleaning
