Key Features
Broom Assist Pick-Up Head
The TYMCO Model 500x pick-up head has a width of 87 inches and is equipped with a broom in the pick-up head for applications where a broom is desired. The fast rotation of the broom loosens packed-on debris and projects it into the Regenerative Air stream for effective cleaning. With in-cab controls that allow broom-assisted sweeping only when needed, the operator can lift the broom out of service for regular use of the powerful Regenerative Air system.
Stainless Steel Hopper
The large 5.7 cubic yard, heavy duty hopper is constructed of non-magnetic stainless steel. It has a large stainless steel dump chute that projects debris into the middle of the dump container without the need of a hopper side shift. The heavy duty scissor lift assembly has over 10,000 lb. lift capacity, and all of the pivots on the lift are self-lubricating. Dual stabilizers automatically deploy before the dump cycle begins assuring stability throughout the dumping procedure. TYMCO's exclusive Tilt-n-Seal® blower system ensures long seal life between the hopper and blower housing. It has a dump range at full tilt of 2 ft to 11 ft from the tip of the chute to the ground.
Power Unit
Service doors swing open to allow ground level access to rear mounted sweeper power unit. A robust hydraulic system attached to the auxiliary engine drives all sweeper components and is located for ease of maintenance. The hydraulic tank has a capacity of 30 gallons with an oil sight and temperature gauge.
Gutter Broom
Gets debris out of the curb/gutter with large 43" diameter gutter brooms with in-cab control. Optional tilt gutter broom allows you to reach down into the deepest gutters. TYMCO's large 43" gutter broom design has a pressure-sensing sequence valve to automatically determine the digging pressure needed for different debris; therefore, customers get maximum broom bristle life and cleaning performance. The Model 500x is equipped with Variable Speed Gutter Brooms. From inside the cab, the operator can control the speed of the gutter brooms. This allows the operator to match the speed of the truck while sweeping to lessen the least amount of dust being kicked up.
Dust Control
The Model 500x has a high efficiency multi-pass cylindrical centrifugal dust separator for maximum particulate separation and sweeping performance designed for easy clean out and maintenance. The Large capacity 250 gallon Water System is standard equipment.
Electrical System
The electrical system incorporates "state of the art" multiplex diagnostic capability and integral solid-state circuit protection.
Blower Wheel
We use a natural rubber coated aluminum blower wheel which we have found to be abrasion resistant as well as reduces fuel consumption because of it's lightweight design.
