Schmidt ｜Snowplow｜PV
Plough blade
The PV is designed as a multi-blade snow plough with individual blade suspension. The PV snow ploughs are available as three or four-blade versions as a PV plough with 9° angle or as a PVF plough with 21° angle cutting edge. The power-flow and shape-optimised blades ensure optimum snow removal. Blades of the same length considerably simplify the storage of cutting edges. The individual blade suspension positions the blades effectively onto the road and adapts to any surface. The spring pre-tensioned and adjustable turning part enables optimum alignment to the road surface. A flatter scraper blade angle of 21° allows more aggressive clearing in areas with heavy snowfall. The clamping device enables quick and safe changing of the cutting edges, so that costly drilling is no longer necessary. Depending on intended use, different cutting edges are available.
Override security system
The automatic, maintenance-free override system, with plough blades guided on linking arms, ensures safety when driving over obstacles without damaging the snow plough. The swinging links are shock-absorbing, maintenance-friendly and noise-reducing. They are resistant to low temperatures and protect the driver and vehicle from bumps and knocks when driving over obstacles.
Cutting edges
Steel cutting edge (S):
A multi-purpose, cost optimised solution for aggressive clearing of hard and/or compact snow. Steel cutting edges are resistant to bending and twisting, giving a clean result.
Combi cutting edge (size 36 and 50) (C36 / C50):
A more durable cutting edge made of steel, rubber and ceramic. This cutting edge is meant for aggressive snow clearing and can be a good alternative if the steel cutting edge is wearing out too fast. The combination of materials ensures noise and vibration reduction.
TUCA SX cutting edge:
A state-of-the-art, high performance cutting edge designed for long- term use. The patented Küper Wave Technology uses a curved profile to remove snow without resistance. Separate tungsten holders embedded in rubber and vulcanized between front and rear Hardox 400 steel plate make the TUCA SX incredibly durable.
Rubber cutting edge(R):
A good solution for use on inner city roads and speciality properties like parking lots. Due to the flexible and elastic characteristics of rubber, it glides smoothly over the surface. A rubber cutting edge is especially efficient when clearing snow slush.
Angling system
Lateral adjustment is actuated by two powerful double-action swivel cylinders that position the PV in the selected clearing position without backlash.
Working support device
Castor wheels
The castor wheels ensure precise adjustment of the snow plough and provide appropriate aggressiveness during snow clearing. They support the frame when driving over obstacles and extend the service life of the cutting edge.
Sliding shoes
Alternatively, maintenance-free height-adjustable sliding shoes can be fitted. They are made of highly wear-resistant steel or combi.
Snow deflector
At speeds of up to 40 km/h (25mph), the snow dust protection prevents snow from obscuring the windscreen of the carrier vehicle, while the snow guide rubber prevents snow from swirling over the plough blade. At higher clearing speeds, the height-adjustable snow deflector also deflects snow dust downwards.
1. an elastic snow deflector made of polyurethane, suitable for all kind of snow. Due to its special gap covers, it prevents slush from getting between the blades.
2. a snow dust cover made of rubber. The ideal solution for semi-professional use.
3. an adjustable snow deflector made of cloth. This version is particularly suitable for powder snow and high speeds
Mounting
The PV has a universal device plate for safe and quick mounting and dismounting in accordance with DIN 76060 A or B. The screwed-on mounting claws are interchangeable; and the device plate is height-adjustable through various attachment points and can be flexibly adapted to the carrier vehicle.
The PV has parking supports which ensure safe mounting and dismounting of the plough. Standard castors allow the parked plough to be moved and make mounting easier. PV ploughs generally have a transport eyelet at the centre of gravity.
The quick-change devices offer safety during quick change. The guide claws and swivel bolts mean handling is not necessary under or between vehicle and plough.
