ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical tank is situated on a bed of a vehicle. A tank opening is provided at a top of the tank. An agitator is provided within the tank. A heating unit such as an oil fired boiler, comprises a burner unit situated on the bed, and fire tube heating elements which longitudinally span an interior surface of the tank. Drain outlets are provided in a bottom of the tank. Discharge tubes run from the drain outlets to discharge outlets beneath the tank. Drain hoses may be connected to the discharge outlets and routed to an appropriate drainage location. A plow blade apparatus is connected to a front of the cab. The plow blade apparatus is generally trough shaped and includes a first Archimedean screw disposed longitudinally therein. An inclined trough has a low end thereof disposed next to the plow blade apparatus. The inclined trough spans from the plow blade apparatus to a high end above the tank. The inclined trough contains a second Archimedean screw disposed longitudinally therein. A mechanical arm translates a high section of the inclined trough toward and away from the tank. When the high section is completely translated toward the tank, the high end of the inclined trough is above the tank opening.
