When Winter Calls: Unleashing the Power of the Sibom Snow Blower
In winter, cold air from northern regions meets moisture brought in from nearby oceans. When this moisture cools, it condenses into ice crystals. Snow is formed from these opaque white ice crystals and their aggregates (snowflakes), representing a unique form of water—a natural phenomenon where water condenses in the air and falls to the ground.
Snow can add a touch of beauty to the environment, bringing a gentle “paint” of white to houses, forests, and tree branches, creating an especially picturesque scene.
Each winter, most parts of Canada experience heavy snowfall. Large snowfalls, especially during extreme snow events, can lead to paralyzed traffic, forcing airport and highway closures and creating significant travel challenges. This "long and blocked journey" can cause great inconvenience for people trying to get around.
Therefore, as winter approaches, the importance of preparing for snow removal becomes especially clear. This is when various snow removal strategies and equipment step into the spotlight, “competing” to prove their effectiveness. Currently, mechanical snow removal remains the primary approach for tackling snow accumulation.
Mechanical snow removal generally involves mounting snow plows, snow brushes, or utilizing loader buckets on construction vehicles. However, each method has certain limitations or specific usage scenarios:
- Snow Plow Removal: Snow plows rely on the host machine to push snow, making them effective for quickly clearing thick snow along road edges, particularly useful for opening emergency pathways. However, this approach doesn’t actually reduce the total amount of snow on the road; it simply redistributes it. When this snow eventually melts, it can lead to secondary issues like icy road conditions, which can still disrupt traffic and cause safety concerns.
- Snow Brush Removal: Snow brushes are flexible and ideal for handling light layers of snow on roads, allowing for more precise and gentle clearing. However, they struggle to effectively manage thicker, heavier snow accumulations, making them less suitable for more severe winter conditions.
- Loader Snow Removal: Loaders use a bucket to push snow, but this method tends to be slow and requires repeated passes, resulting in lower efficiency. The process often leaves behind a considerable amount of snow, falling short of thorough clearing and requiring additional cleanup for optimal results.
Therefore, to address the limitations of traditional snow removal equipment and uphold the principle of "green snow and ice clearing," the Sibom Snow Blower emerges as the ideal solution.
The Sibom Snow Thrower, also known as a Snow Blower or Snow Throwing Machine, consists primarily of a hydraulic motor, snow collection system, spiral auger structure, and a snow throwing system (throwing impeller and snow chute). The main shaft of the spiral auger is fixed to the snow collection system, with auger blades spaced along the shaft.
When the main unit pushes the snow thrower forward, the collected snow is first gathered into the snow collection hopper and then fed into the auger. The snow is then propelled by the high-speed centrifugal force of the throwing impeller, which expels the snow through the chute and throws it to distances of up to 12 meters.
The Sibom snow thrower is primarily designed to be compatible with skid steer loaders, but it can also be mounted on wheel loaders. It is specifically designed for users who operate various brands of loaders and skid steer loaders, such as commercial snow removal companies, municipal departments, or large enterprises. The Sibom snow thrower is widely used for road clearing during heavy snowfalls, particularly for removing natural snow accumulation, roadside snow piles, and for loading operations.
The Sibom snow thrower has the following features:
- Simple overall structure with fewer welds, high strength, and easy maintenance.
- Thicker spiral blade design, which offers higher durability and longer lifespan. The unique blade structure ensures that snow does not stick to the spiral, improving efficiency.
- Adjustable support legs to prevent the blade from coming into contact with gravel or damaging the surface of the pavement.
- Adjustable snow discharge direction, with the discharge chute capable of rotating 270° (low throw) or 200° (high throw), allowing for quick snow placement at a designated location, making it versatile for various working environments.
- ast operational speed, making it an ideal snow removal machine that meets the demands of rapid snow clearing in urban areas.
- Optional low-throw or high-throw chutes, suitable for different working conditions and operational scenarios.
Typically, there are two main methods for using the Sibom snow blower:
- Direct snow throwing operation: The snow blower works by directly clearing and throwing the snow away.
- Using other snow removal equipment as an auxiliary: Specifically:
- In cases where there is heavy snow accumulation on the road, the Sibom snowplow is used to clear an emergency path. The snow pushed by the snowplow is then piled on the roadside, after which the snow blower is used to throw the snow into greenbelts or onto snow collection trucks.
- For light snow situations (typically with snow depths of up to 15 cm), the Sibom snow sweeper brush is used to sweep the snow from the middle of the road to the roadside. Then, in combination with the Sibom snow blower, the snow blower is driven along the roadside to throw the snow into the hopper of a snow transport truck.
Through the coordinated operation of the snow plow, snow sweeper brush, and snow blower in a sequential manner, the entire snow removal process can be mechanized. This greatly reduces the reliance on manual labor and significantly enhances the efficiency of snow removal.
Guided by the principle of "professionalization as the primary focus, with socialized support as a supplement," Sibom's snow blower has undergone repeated validation for its practicality. This ensures ease of operation, safety, and efficiency in maintenance, while meeting the diverse snow removal needs of various users.
Based on practical experience, users can control the operating speed to within 1 km/h, allowing for the thorough removal of snow from roadways. With continuous snow removal capability, the Sibom snow blower achieves high efficiency in clearing snow, making it the ideal tool for removing heavy snow from roads, airports, and ports. The snow blower’s output in a single hour is equivalent to the work of 100 personnel!
Through long-term practical experience, the best results are achieved when the snow blower is used in conjunction with snow plows, snow brushes, and transport vehicles. By maintaining a systematic operation and combining mechanized and manual clearing, this approach not only significantly increases the safety of snow removal operations but also greatly reduces the physical labor required. This, in turn, allows for synchronized clearing of highways, urban main roads, overpasses, and public spaces. This scientifically sound and timely snow and ice removal system ensures clean urban environments and smooth traffic flow after a snowfall.
In conclusion, with its durability, low failure rate, and high snow removal efficiency, the Sibom snow blower is highly recognized and appreciated by both domestic and international customers.
Answering the call of snow to keep roads clear, as the snowstorm arrives, the Sibom snow blower sounds the horn for snow removal.
