WHAT MAKES DISA-CLEAN 130 SO MUCH BETTER? ave you ever looked closely at the tarmac beneath your feet? Have a look and you will discover that the street surface is full of pores and holes. Then fetch an ordinary brush and see what happens when you try to brush away sand, dust and other debris. A great deal disappears down the holes, while other particles swirl up into the air. The effect is the same when you use rotating brushes attached to a loading unit for tractors or under lorries to clean. The dust is stirred up, creating a cloud around the vehicle. Alternatively, water is used while brushing...

VACUUM TECHNOLOGY “One of the hypotheses is that particle levels can be lowered by removing dust during the winter,“ says Mats Gustafsson, leader of the research project OptiDrift in which DISAB is involved. How can road maintenance be improved to create a better environment as well as improved accessibility and safety in built up areas? That is the question put by the research project OptiDrift, financed by Vinnova, which will run until 2018. DISAB and Disa-Clean are involved in the project. The project is led by the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI), in collaboration...

Svevia has brought Disa-Clean into service to help reduce levels of dangerous PM10 particles in the air. CERTIFIED OPERATORS DRIVE DISA-CLEAN AROUND THE CLOCK Svevia is responsible for the operation of one of the two Disa-Clean vehicles vacuuming Stockholm's streets. “We drive 2,500-3,000 hours per year,“ explains Johan Thuresson, machine manager at Svevia. Last year Stockholm city put out a request for tenders and specified that the contract was to be carried out using Disa-Clean 130, the only series-manufactured vehicle currently using vacuum technology. Before Svevia submitted a tender, a...

SAFER TRAMWAYS WITH DISA-CLEAN Trams are back in Stockholm. And with them the need to keep the tracks clean, especially in winter. The solution is to use Disa-Clean like a giant vacuum cleaner. Disa-Clean was launched as a replacement for the traditional street sweeper. However, Leif Bro­ berg saw something else. “My company, Vattholma Svets & Mekaniska, is a supplier to DISAB and we received some early information about the development project,“ he explains. What he saw was a giant, rolling, air-filtering vacuum cleaner with significant potential in several areas. Together with Sören Vallgårda...

RAGN-SELLS CHOSE DISA-CLEAN FOR THE CLEANING OF LARGE SURFACES The main argument for Disa-Clean is that vacuum technology effectively captures particles smaller than PM10. But this was not why Ragn-Sells ordered its first vehicle at the start of 2015. “We needed a vehicle for cleaning larger areas,“ explains Mattias Mann, vehicle specialist at Ragn-Sells. Ragn-Sells is a market leader in Sweden within recycling and environment and has one of the country's largest vehicle fleets. The group's core offering relates to recycling and containers, sludge suction Ellinore Kramnäs handles the vacuum unit...

A LITTLE SAND IS A BIG THREAT TO SAFETY AND GOOD RESULTS Tierp Arena is considered one of the world's fastest drag racing tracks. One of the reasons is that the track is cleaned using a vacuum. “Disa-Clean came as if sent from above,“ says Leif Andreasson, the track's promoter and one of Europe's leading drag racing drivers. Drag racing is about one thing: Grip. All forms of contamination on the track decrease grip and jeopardise safety. “I drove over a little piece of metal at 420 kilometres an hour and one of the back tyres exploded. Thank goodness I survived the incident with only two teeth...
