Scarab Mistral

Providing users with the outstanding sweeping power that all Scarab operators have come to expect, the Mistral range has been developed specifically to satisfy a preference for the traditional form of truck-mounted sweeper. The use of a well-proven auxiliary power unit coupled to Scarab’s tried and tested hydraulic drive system for ALL sweeping functions has resulted in a twin-engine sweeper for the future. •Superb performance with sweep widths of 2.95 m, 3.2 m or 3.4 m depending on model.•Seperate stainless steel water tank, ranging from 1050 litres to 2500 litres and mounted for superior weight distribution and stability; especially when discharging.•Highly efficient, overhead-mounted suction fan providing air movement of2.8 m
3 /sec nominal.•CANbus 2 control system for flexibility of operation and servicing.•Superior build-quality throughout with stainless steel hopper body.•Super-efficient Cummins QSB turbocharged auxiliary power unit.•Excellent access to all areas for servicing and maintenance activities with dedicated, weather-proof lockers for electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic services.•Extremely low in-cab noise levels. •Available for chassis ranging from 10-19 tonne GVW with a choice of three body sizes.

AUXILIARY POWER UNIT:

A Cummins QSB3.3 Stage IIIA with High-Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) diesel fuel system provides 74 kW @ 2200 rpm, 412 Nm @ 1400 rpm coupled to Scarab’s unique fluid drive system to power all sweeping functions eliminating the need for complex drive belts arrangements or gearboxes. The auxiliary unit is supplied by a dedicated fuel tank of 115 litres minimum capacity.

SUCTION FAN:

The dynamically balanced 900 mm diameter suction fan is mounted in the hopper top and, as with all Scarab sweepers, is powered by a load-sensing pump to give the highest performance and efficiency while minimising noise level. The impellor is a highly efficient multi-blade centrifugal unit, giving a nominal airflow of 6000 ft
3 /min. (170 m
3 /min.). Mounting the fan on the hopper top creates a virtually straight airflow from the suction nozzles. This makes the Scarab Mistral extremely efficient and significantly reduces power requirements. Two operating modes are provided, Standard Mode for normal sweeping and Boost Mode which significantly increases suction power for more arduous conditions.
