Cost

Lower cost of ownership

Designed to last

The MaxPowa V50 sweeper operates at the lowest cost, with a large 50 gallons auxiliary fuel tank giving increased on-station time. In addition, maintenance costs are significantly reduced on the gearbox and fluid coupling, as no belts or high wearing components are required. The Bucher MaxPowa V50 provides the lowest emissions and running costs. Suction sweeping requires fewer components, resulting in less wear and tear which in turn reduces maintenance costs.

Technology

Low environmental impact

Low noise

The V series Sweepers are equipped with noise suppressions hoods encapsulating the auxiliary engine and fan casing. Noise attenuation vanes are fitted as standard in the air exhaust system. Noise at the drivers ear is less than 75 dB(A) at maximum revs (chassis dependant), creating a safer operating environment for both the driver and pedestrians. The engine can be set to lower revs for night sweeping which reduces the noise levels.

Performance

Productivity

Productivity driven by reliability

The MaxPowa V50 provides the ideal balance between performance, environmental impact and low cost of ownership, with applications to suit a full range of sweeping environments, benefits that make the MaxPowa V50 the sweeper of choice worldwide.

Productivity is driven by reliability and dependability through fewer breakdowns or service interventions. Combine this with great suction performance, quick engage options and an ease of onsite adjustments or consumable replacements and your time working increases.

The V series delivers great productivity with standard features and a wide range of options to match your operational needs.

Designed to last in the toughest environments

The MaxPowa V50 hopper is manufactured from 1.4003 stainless steel, shot blasted with aluminum oxide prior to the application of a strontium based primer followed by a hard-wearing top coat. In addition, all gray parts such as the sweepgear, powerpack and subframe are shot blasted and electro-magnetically powder painted in a durable two part epoxy paint finish. This ensures the sweeper continues to look as good as it performs, retaining a high residual value or longer in-service life.

Monitor sweeper performance

The CANbus system monitors sweeper performance and provides daily checks. The display incorporates as standard an audible and visual raised hopper warning, fuel gauge, engine hour metre, tachometer and a water level gauge. In addition data can be downloaded via a USB stick, showing a range of information from fuel consumption to average sweeping times.

A full CANbus integrated door mounted control pad allows the operator to safely adjust all the sweep options.

The new MaxPowa V50 is equipped with a radio controlled remote pendant allowing the operator to walk completely around the sweeper without having wires to contend with.

The operator can adjust the wide sweep brush easily to extend brush life and can check the surroundings before opening the hopper or tipping.

Designed with Safety in mind

The highly visible, self-engaging body prop provides the operator and service personnel with a safe working environment. The MaxPowa V series features a wireless radio controller allowing the operator to walk entirely around the sweeper. The operator can adjust the broad sweep brush easily and check surroundings before opening the rear door or tipping.

High visibility brush plates and hose sleeves make it easier for the operator to see the brush position. The MaxPowa V series is also supplied with an LED sweep gear work light as standard, and a wide range of additional LED and hazard warning lights are also available.

The auxiliary engine and hydrostatic drive pump are accessed via a wide lightweight service ladder giving three-point of contact, which easily folds away when not in use. All critical controls,including valves, solenoids, and auxiliary equipment for pneumatic, hydraulic, and water systems, are contained in a purpose-built locker on the right-hand side of the vehicle. The ease of access to this equipment facilitates diagnostic checks and maintenance.

Additionally, the MaxPowa V50 comes equipped with waterproof IP67 automotive electrical connectors for enhanced reliability. Bucher MaxPowa V50 models have equipment storage lockers on both sides of the hopper for the storage of hydrant or wander hose extension tubes.

Designed with the operator in mind

The in-cab center console featuring cup holders and USB charging points can be adjusted to suit the operator's preference. The 10” touch screen JVM display is mounted on an articulated arm allowing tilt angle and rotation to adjust without the need for any tools. The JVM has a wide range of settings that can be tailored to suit the operational needs.

The ergonomic door controller can be used for all sweeping operations, brush position, pressure, speed, nozzle aperture, engine revs, and water jets. A heavy-duty pause button allows the operator to lift all the sweep gear until depressed again. This feature enables the operator to change from sweeping to transit quickly and easily. The MaxPowa V series remembers the last sweeping settings used each time.

Water purging system as standard

Water purging system so that when freezing weather conditions are anticipated, water is easily and conveniently drained from the sweeper by a simple in-cab switch. Water jets in the nozzle boxes are self-cleaning, which extends the life of the components.

Up to 360 gallons

The MaxPowa V series has a 360-gallon stainless steel water tank integrated into the lower portion of the hopper. The MaxPowa V50 uses yellow mist atomizing jets to reduce water usage by 20%; alternatively, red nozzle jets with a higher flow are available for heavier applications. For increased productivity, an optional water recirculation system can save up to 237 gallons of water per day, extending the on worksite time and with the added advantage of reducing dust emissions.

Up to 12 feet with simultaneous sweep option

The MaxPowa V50 offers up to 12 feet swept width with the simultaneous sweep option (for dual sweep machines only), set almost flat makes short work of light application surface cleaning.

Product variations

MaxPowa V50t with twin
engine

Twin engine options offering performance and flexibility for truck mounted sweepers. Being independent of the truck chassis, the sweeper auxiliary engine powers the sweeping functions and vacuum system so both engine and chassis can be tailored to the application and customer preferences. A wide range of chassis can also be supplied with either manual, automatic or automated gearboxes providing a wide range of options to suit the operator.
The MaxPowa V50t is supplied with a JCB 55 kW industrial engine as standard, designed for operating in dusty environment. Providing 440 Nm of torque at 1150 rpm the Stage 5 engine is ideally suited for applications where higher suction power is required; for example more arduous road construction operations (EU27 only).

Throttle control of the auxiliary engine is infinitely variable ensuring optimum operational and fuel efficiency with no performance compromised. With a 1500 rev Eco-mode built into the MaxPowa V50t, fuel conservation and noise levels are enhanced.

Once set to operating performance, the twin engine sweeper system will perform at the same level regardless of gradient and travel speed. The sweeping operation can be paused or stopped easily and sweep gear lifted to allow the driver to transit from one location to another without having to disengage a separate drive.

MaxPowa V50h with hydrostatic
drive

The patented hydrostatic drive option is ideal for built up areas such as towns and cities where sweeping speed and control are an advantage.
These single engine hydrostatic gearbox truck mounted sweepers provide the best control during the sweeping operation and allows the driver to have infinite travel speed from 0 to 40km/h. With the cruise control option the operator can set the ideal sweep speed and concentrate on sweeping. The chassis is driven via the standard truck gearbox in transit mode and when the sweeper is required to sweep, the operator engages the hydrostatic drive system. Maintenance is only required on one engine but the single engine is working at high load more often.

The patented hydrostatic gearbox can work with large chassis engines up to 280 hp.

The HGB3 gearbox can handle high torque transmissions with engines up to 280 hp. Operators wishing to use high power engines can sweep efficiently without overloading the gearbox. The single engine sweeper uses the fuel tank from the chassis or the sweeper 190 litre fuel tank, allowing longer on station time. The hydrostatic drive system is lighter than the equivalent twin engine sweeper, allowing more payload.
