Key Features
Pick-Up Head
The TYMCO Model 600® pick-up head incorporates full-width air blast and suction and is designed to work effortlessly with the TYMCO Regenerative Air System to pick up a wide variety of street debris from light trash and leaves to heavy dirt and gravel. The Model 600 pick-up head also comes standard with long-lasting Duo-Skids® which provide increased sweeping performance and longer wear.
The Model 600 may be equipped with the optional Broom Assist Head (BAH) for applications where a broom may be desired. The BAH is controlled by the operator in the cab by a single switch allowing broom-assisted sweeping only when needed because the majority of debris is removed by the powerful TYMCO Regenerative Air System.
The large 12” diameter by 79” long broom is mounted at the rear of the BAH and is fully enclosed for optimum dust control and eliminating risk of “throwing” debris outside the sweep path. The fast rotating BAH broom provides excellent performance by automatically applying as much pressure as needed to loosen heavy, packed-on debris and projecting it into the air blast for faster sweeping.
Hopper
The Model 600 hopper capacity is over 7.3 cubic yards and ensures owners a payload of over 10,000 lbs. The TYMCO raker-assist dumping system provides smooth discharge of debris from a stationary hopper without requiring unnecessary telescopic hydraulic cylinders for hoisting, hydraulically controlled door latch assemblies, additional hydraulic door opening cylinders, grease points and safety concerns such as pinch points and overhead clearance. The 600 hopper comes standard with two easily accessible inspection
doors located on both sides of the hopper.
Gutter Broom
The 43” diameter Model 600 gutter brooms remove debris from curbs, gutters and around obstacles along city streets such as parked cars and maintenance equipment. An optional tilt adjuster allows you to reach down into the deepest curbs or gutters typically found throughout city industrial and residential streets. The innovative gutter broom provides excellent performance by automatically determining the “digging” pressure needed for different debris; therefore, owners get maximum gutter broom bristle
life and sweeping performance. If the gutter broom encounters an immovable object, it will
automatically retract to avoid potential damage and return to the original position once the
immovable object has been passed, all without intervention from the operator.
Dust Control
The Model 600 is the only street sweeper on the market with a high-efficiency centrifugal dust separator for maximum fine dust particulate separation which provides excellent dust control while using less water. TYMCO’s engineers take several aspects into account when designing for better dust control such as water nozzle design and placement, not just adding more water like other street sweepers. The Model 600 has a water capacity of up to 330 gallons which provides hours of sweeping while maintaining excellent dust control.
Auxiliary Hand Hose
The auxiliary hand hose is a powerful suction nozzle for hard-to-reach cleaning such as storm drain catch basins, sumps, fence lines and around other tight areas such as dumpsters and containers. An optional hydraulic boom assist is also available which makes operation even easier for cleaning out catch basins and sumps. From the stowed position on the back of the sweeper, the auxiliary hand hose quickly adapts the Model 600 into a powerful suction nozzle for hard to get to cleaning applications. The auxiliary hand hose is 8" in diameter and available with multiple nozzle extensions to reach the deepest storm drain catch basins.
Power Unit
The Model 600 is powered by a 99 horsepower John Deere auxiliary engine. This engine powers all hydraulic functions through a gear driven pump and directly belt drives the blower. The lightweight aluminum alloy blower that drives the TYMCO Regenerative Air System only requires a modest amount of horsepower; therefore TYMCO’s engineers designed the Model 600 around a smaller, more fuel efficient auxiliary engine.
Blower Wheel
The Model 600 is the only street sweeper that utilizes a super-efficient aluminum alloy blower that is self-cleaning and reduces fuel consumption because of its lightweight design requiring less horsepower. The blower is designed to work with the TYMCO Regenerative Air System to both push and pull air which delivers even greater sweeping performance. The Model 600 blower has a natural rubber coating that provides maximum wear against abrasive debris.
Truck Types
Conventional
International DuraStar 4300 MaxxForce 7
International DuraStar 4300 DT466
Freightliner Business Class M2
Cabover
UD3300E
Isuzu FVR
The cabover truck chassis allows the Model 600 to carry additional water for dust control as well as provide space for toolbox storage and maintenance tools such as shovels, rakes and brooms. The additional storage provides more versatility if other maintenance tasks need to be taken care of after sweeping such as tending to municipal parks or other city landscaping.
COMDEX®
International DuraStar 4300 MaxxForce 7
International DuraStar 4300 DT466
A conventional truck chassis equipped with the COMDEX (Compact Design Extra Water) Package provides the extra water and storage capacity traditionally offered on a cabover chassis while keeping all of the advantages of a conventional chassis – operator friendly ergonomics, easier cab accessibility and engine serviceability, improved rearview and gutter broom visibility, excellent turning radius and maneuverability as well as a conveniently located curbside storage box.
