Sweeper Features
Broom Assist Pick-Up Head
The TYMCO Model 500x® is equipped with the Broom Assist Head (BAH) which 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 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.
The BAH offers independent suspension of each broom end which provides longer broom bristle life and reduces the broom “coning effect” relative to the surface being swept. TYMCO’s simple design approach allows for BAH broom replacement in 30 minutes or less and without the need to remove the pick-up head.
The Model 500x pick-up head also comes standard with long-lasting Duo-Skids® which provide increased sweeping performance and longer wear.
Hopper and Chute
The Model 500x hopper capacity is over 5.7 cubic yards and ensures owners a payload of over 6000 lbs. All 500x hopper body sheets as well as the hopper screen are fabricated with low carbon, high chrome stainless steel providing additional longevity and easier cleanout of the hopper.
A variable dump height from 2 feet to 11 feet allows dumping into various size and type containers. The large hopper door allows easy dumping and is hydraulically and mechanically locked for an air and watertight seal.
The large stainless steel discharge chute project debris provides smooth discharge of debris into the middle of the dump container without the need of a hopper side shift. The chute is designed to float 45 degrees upward, preventing major damage should it come in contact with the debris container.
Hopper Lift Assembly
Has a 10,000 lb lift capacity. All pivots on the lift are self-lubricating and never require greasing. Integral counterbalance holding valves ensure controlled lowering of the lift assembly and serve as redundant safety locks. Dual stabilizers automatically deploy before the dump cycle begins assuring unit stability throughout the dumping procedure. The 500x is also integrated with the truck chassis transmission, only allowing dumping when the truck is in neutral with the parking break set.
Gutter Broom
The 43” diameter Model 500x 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 435 is the only mid-sized 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 435 blower has a natural rubber coating that provides maximum wear against abrasive debris.
Power Unit
The Model 500x is powered by a 115 horsepower John Deere auxiliary engine. This engine powers the blower and all hydraulic functions through three direct driven hydraulic pumps. TYMCO’s engineers designed the Model 500x with a single speed auxiliary engine; therefore reducing wear on the engine and conserving fuel by maintaining a constant speed.
Blower Wheel
The Model 500x is the only high dump 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 500x blower has a natural rubber coating that provides maximum wear against abrasive debris.
