Xugong snow removal plane and the frozen world of the Andes

The Andes, which runs through western Argentina, accounts for about 30% of the country's land area. The winter is filled with snow that is not scattered throughout the year, crossing Rio Negro, Neuquen, Chubut, Mendoza, San Juan, and Mulberry. The six provinces of Takru, where the highways and provincial roads in the Andes have become an important link between the provinces. In order to ensure the normal operation of the work and life in the region during the snow season, the Argentine Ministry of Transport purchased 15 sets of Xugong Snow Removal Plane GR3003 at one time and delivered the roads of the provincial Ministry of Communications to ensure smooth traffic.

The Andes are known as the “South American Giants” for their average altitude of nearly 4,000 m. The 3,000-kilometer high-altitude highway can reach a temperature of -20 °C and the depth of the snow is about one meter. According to the requirements of the transportation departments of the Argentine provinces, Xugong Snow Removal Machine worked at full speed for 8 hours a day on the high-speed and provincial roads, and completed the road snow removal mission in the plateau region in winter. Faced with the harsh environment of low temperature in the plateau, XCMG uses a low temperature battery, an engine intake preheating system and a fuel heating system, and is equipped with an ultra-low temperature cold start system and a world-class VDO combination meter to maintain a sensitive response in a severe low temperature environment. The whole machine can start and work normally at ≥-40° ambient temperature.

In order to improve work efficiency, snow removal aids can be described as the crowning touch of Xugongping ground machine. Xugong snow removal machine is also optimized for snow removal conditions on the working device: 360° rotary blade and ±35° front shovel. The snow is pushed away as desired, and the front shovel adopts a multi-segment split avoidance form, the blade body has a large left and right swing angle, the snow discharge speed is fast, the horizontal slope can be horizontal, the road surface is contoured, and the snow can be precisely controlled. The ground clearance of the brush can be precisely adjusted according to the actual snow removal needs. The adjustment range is between 0 and 150 mm, which fully guarantees the higher snow removal efficiency and minimizes the damage to the road surface.

Human care is always the first consideration for Xugong's snow removal machine. In the cold environment of Andes, XCMG is suitable for cold and warm air conditioning that can meet extreme climate conditions. It is suitable for high-power air heaters with wider ambient temperature. With a high-powered heater, the operating room is spring-like, with a double-deck windshield cab and automatic defrosting design. The vision is no longer affected by frosting and is safer to use.

Leading technology, industry to the country. Recently, the GR2153 snow-removing grader jointly developed by XCMG and the R&D center of the transportation industry has also been grandly launched. This type of grader has been equipped with snow removal aids, which greatly enhances the snow removal capacity. The rapid snow removal ensures smooth roads and truly functions such as snow removal. One-piece multi-purpose grader. (This article is from Xugong Road)
