Sweeper Design

Regenerative Air System

The TYMCO Model 500x is the only high dump sweeper in the industry that is designed with a true Regenerative Air System.  True Regenerative Air uses an independent centrifugal dust separator to clean the air before it passes to the blower fan; coupled with a controlled jet of air directed through a blast orifice to dislodge debris from the paved surface.  The concentrated high velocity air is blasted into cracks and crevices removing dust particulates as well as larger debris.  All debris removed from the sweeping surface is directed up the heavy-duty hose into the hopper.

The TYMCO Model 500x is the only high dump sweeper with a patented independent centrifugal dust separator that continuously cleans the air in the closed loop air system thus keeping the fines and dust inside the hopper.  True Regenerative Air means a TYMCO never exhaust polluted air into the atmosphere like other air and vacuum sweepers which are designed to continuously exhaust air.  There are no filters or baffles to clean or replace on the TYMCO Model 500x.

Operator Friendly Design

• Central mounted console with lighted rocker type switches. System functions are grouped together for easy learning and usability.
• The hopper can be dumped into various size and type containers. It has a dump range at full tilt of 2 ft to 11 ft from the tip of the chute to the ground.
• The Suction transition separates at chest height for easy inspecting and cleaning - no climbing or bending down to access.
• The TYMCO gutter broom with trailing arm design allows operator the ability to react quickly in an emergency situation without damage to the sweeper, because the TYMCO gutter brooms to retract when they encounter an immovable object.

Maintenance

The TYMCO Model 500x is designed for less maintenance.  This allows the machine to be sweeping, not in the shop for extensive maintenance required by other sweepers.  The Model 500x is built with fewer moving parts which means less downtime, more sweep time and longer life.

• The 500x is chassis mounted with easy access to all components.
• The TYMCO Engineering department designs product improvements with emphasis on easy to install retrofit kits for our existing Model 500X customers.
• The ability to service the auxiliary engine from ground level reduces maintenance time.
• Zero grease points on sweeper unit greatly reduces maintenance service and downtime.
• The ability to service the auxiliary engine and hydraulics without raising the hopper.
• Multiplex electrical system is equipped with component status LEDs making troubleshooting a breeze.

Productivity

• Fast Dump Cycle for Productivity: The hopper can be fully lifted, tilted, and retracted in just over one minute.
• More productivity with less moving parts: the Model 500X will be on the job, NOT in the shop, thus maintaining sweeping schedules.
• Large hopper capacity: large 5.7 cubic yard hopper coupled with a properly sized truck chassis ensures TYMCO customers a payload of approximately 6000 lbs.  However, the scissor lift can withstand loads over  10,000 lbs.
• Efficient Blower Design - Aluminum alloy blower with natural rubber coating and balanced for maximum wearability.  This design saves fuel, wear and tear.
• TYMCO Regenerative Air Cleaned Streets are cleaner.  Concentrated air velocity forced into cracks and crevices cleans up the dust particulates as well as the larger debris.
• Full width pick-up head cleans wider paths than mechanical broom or vacuum sweepers.
