Unix
the universal, variable geometry snow plough

The most effective plough for complex urban clearing operation

Boost your efficacy with Unix. The snow plough that combines to the advantages of a straight plough with the versatility of a variable v-plough.

Fast clearing speed, high safety and incredible versatility makes Unix the ultimate tool for your mountain roads and urban clearing.

Difficult pavements such as cobblestone, different kind of snow in the same mission or lots of obstacles does not represent any more of a problem and noise emission are reduced almost to zero.

Performance

Make your urban or mountain area clearing safer, faster and more efficient

Maximum flexibility for every need

If you're responsible for snow clearing in complex urban areas—like city centres, bus stops, parking lots, intersections, narrow streets, and high-speed connecting routes—Unix is the ultimate tool to get the job done efficiently.

The capability of Unix snow plough makes it ideal for those who needs a multi-purpose, all-rounder equipment.

Use independently one wing for crossroad and bus stops, move both in parking lots and narrow roads: Unix always has the correct setup.

Unix offers a modern solution for cities still struggling with manual efforts to tackle snow accumulation—especially in areas where traditional ploughs fall short.

On open roads it’s perfectly suited to be used as a straight snow plough with all the safety and clearing capability of specialized equipment.

Reliability

High quality and long lifetime

4 main body sizes and up to 12 width variants, 2 scraper blade configurations, 15 mounting systems, 2 driving systems are only a few of the possibilities to perfectly fit your vehicle maximizing reliability and efficiency.

With a high customisation possibility you can get exactly what you need for your specific applications. As a matter of fact, Unix comes with sizes and option for every vehicle, from light compact sweeper up to heavyweight Unimogs and tractors or trucks.

Unix's single or double scraper blade system ensure you always work with the best setup, no matter if the snow is soft, wet or hard and iced.

The extensive use of innovative material and technical solution improves performance while reducing maintenance and therefore cost.

The driving system that improves your efficiency

Shaping your plough when you need and by as much as you need

The Unix snow plough can be used in three main configurations, with infinite adjustability between them.

One-side straight plough: the shape of the mouldboard, combined with the override protection, allow a safe high speed working with the comfort and clearing results of a standard straight plough.

Wedge plough configuration: the high and open profile of the mouldboard ensure an excellent evacuation of snow from the outline and makes easy clearing of a very large amount of snow. It is also ideal to operate in narrow passages because of the extremely compact dimensions when Unix is V shaped.

Shovel plough configuration: this configuration is perfect for cleaning parking lots, squares or in every case where it is not possible to clear aside the snow, as in presence of narrow passages, crossroads or private driveways.

The best clearing result on soft and wet snow

A Unix snow plough shows is so effective thanks to NEOTECH 2S, the single-segment flexible scraper blade made from our specially designed neoprene “HD bi-shore”.

Neotech 2S features many advantages due to its flexible nature, such as clearing perfectly all the snow over the whole width or the ability to adapt to uneven surface profiles and an exceptional working life.

An extremely low level of noise, very low vibrations transmission and up to 3 override protection make it ideal for urban clearing even at night without disturbance for local community.

The right operative configuration for each situation

The Unix double blade includes all the benefits of the Neotech 2S combined with a second, wear resistant, steel scraper blade.

With 2 different scraper blades available, and the capability to switch between them whilst working means Unix delivers the ultimate flexibility and efficacy regardless of the snow conditions.

The first scraper blade is perfect for soft or wet snow while the steel one can be used for hard or icy snow compacted on the road surface.

Because we care for your safety the steel scraper blade is also protected from impact with an excellent override safety system, that helps you safely manage obstacles like sewer covers and kerbs.

The Polystone mouldboard

The Polystone merge corrosion resistance, improved sliding and shock absorption in an incredible material.

It’s synthetically made, able to resist to the lowest temperature without suffering from rigidity and it’s totally free from corrosion.

Similarly to the underneath of skid, this material helps ejecting out the snow using less power of the carrier vehicle while avoiding the snow sticking to it.

Moreover that special material is flexible and when it is hit by either stones or other foreign material it flexes back and immediately returns to its original position without suffering any damage.

high strength and compact steel frame

Behind the Polystone mouldboard a sturdy and modern frame ensures high strength and torsion free movement.

The main frame connects the wings to the lifting and tilting system as a single solid body, preventing torsion—especially when navigating tight bends on mountainous roads.

Additionally, the tilting system allows the plugh to follow the road profile freely during clearing, while keeping it parallel to the ground when raised.

Compactness given by optimised dimensions and the variable V plough concept makes Unix perfect to drive in tight spaces or cities compared to a traditional snow plough.

Controlled processes, high-quality materials and innovative technical solution

The Polystone mouldboard combined with our high quality painting ensures a long lifespan while reducing maintenance costs.

All steel components are shot-blasted and either powder-coated with a specialized double-layer treatment or fully galvanized for maximum durability.

The ends of the hydraulic pipes and couplings are protected with a special wax coating, while the hydraulic valves—subject to heat expansion—are treated with a specialised painting process for enhanced durability.

Whenever possible the consumption parts are engineered to minimise maintenance costs by avoiding replacing the entire assembly and only replacing the worn part

Electro hydraulic unit, duplicator valve and synchronous movement controls

Unix offers different driving systems and options to help you get the best out of your winter road maintenance vehicle. We recommend using the vehicle hydraulic system whenever possible but, if the vehicle hasn’t got it, you can count on our powerful electro hydraulic unit that comes with a comfortable and ergonomic joystick. If the vehicle doesn't have all the required hydraulic functions Unix offers you various kind of valves for circuit duplication and synchronous movement of both the wings.

Getting even more with MBS
system

The patented brine injection system for Bucher snow ploughs

MBS is a revolutionary system that uses a reliable and cost-effective brine injection system to increase the plough clearing capacity and, in the meantime, protect the surface from the new snow sticking again.

MBS increases clearing efficacy, extends time required between each clearing cycle and makes it possible to reduce spreading dosage leading to simplest operative procedure and huge savings even during the severe winter season with intense snow falls.

The installation is user friendly and does not require any special equipment, a simple and common tank is the only requirement to transport and feed the brine to the plough.
