It consists in an alternative sweepings mechanism built in a rectangular tank, in the superior part of the lateral walls of the tank one to each wheels are installed (Red Band), over them a metallic bridge is displaced, under it and jointly with it, arms are located to sweep the surface and bottom (floating sweep and sludge).
The cars displacement is accomplished by an electric drive engine that transmits the movement to an axis that joins the two motor moving wheels, located one in each car, the transmission of movement is performed by axis + wheel + engine, transmitting a final speed under 5cm/seg.=3mts/min, to the car.
Operation Cycle:
1. Manual (Only one trip).
2. Manual (Continuous).
3. Temporized.
The car is transferred in opposite direction to the flow, when it reaches the opposite end, a road end installed in that end acts over the drive reversing its operation, hence the direction of the trip of the car, at the same time, some mechanic bumps free the cleaning arms, allowing their descent. Once these operations are achieved, the car starts its trip, in inverse direction this time.
Having accomplished the descending trip, the sweeping plate pushes the scum inside the weir, at the same time as a mechanic system raises the arms holding them in this position, other electro mechanical end of road placed in this end, disconnects the powering, stopping the system.
The system will be protected against tension excess.
