Snow seems light when it falls from the sky. Fluffy snowflakes glide and spin, driven by the wind. Snowdrifts are soft as fluff and light as cotton wool. But when you have to clear the snow from the paths, you quickly realize that the first impression is deceptive, and a shovel full of snow has an impressive weight. After half an hour of such work, my back begins to ache and my arms begin to numb. Involuntarily, you begin to dream that the shovel will perform all the necessary actions on its own.
Do you think this is an unrealistic wish? It turns out not. The American company Patriot has already invented a super-shovel and is successfully producing it in China. This miracle is called - Patriot snow blower Arctic. A mechanical snow blower does not require gas or electricity costs, since it simply does not have a motor. The ingenious design allows you to throw away the snow only thanks to mechanical forces.
Main characteristics
- Can clear snow strips up to 60 cm wide.
- The height of the snow cover is no more than 12 cm.
- Weight only 3.3 kilograms.
If it is wet, compressed or covered with an ice crust, you will have to clean it with more powerful equipment or manually.
The design of the Arctic snow blower is very simple, this reduces the possibility of breakdown to a minimum, but only if all operating rules are followed. The basis of the working mechanism is a metal screw auger with a diameter of 18 cm.
It consists of 3 turns and operates on the principle of a meat grinder screw.A mechanical snow blower collects snow, always throwing it to the right. The throw range is no more than 30 cm, so it is not very convenient for them to clean wide paths or other areas, since snow will always accumulate on one side. The auger is placed in a spacious bucket. The Patriot mechanical snow blower is equipped with a comfortable handle, which makes work much easier and more comfortable.
Anyone can clean narrow paths with a Patriot snow blower.
This snow blower has many advantages:
- silent operation;
- no restrictions on time of use;
- simple mechanism;
- does not require any energy consumption, since there is no motor;
- a simple device reduces the risk of breakdown to a minimum;
- light weight;
- maneuverability;
- ease of operation.
Disadvantages include selective use only for fresh snow, the need for frequent cleaning, and limitations when cleaning large areas. But compared to a regular shovel, all these disadvantages do not seem significant, since working with a mechanical snow blower is much more convenient and easier.
A mechanical shovel is a great way to turn the labor-intensive process of snow removal into fun.
