ABSTRACT:
A vertical augered snow removal device in which the augers rotate, in unison, toward the fan opening, at the center, back of the augers; which lift and throw the snow through the fan opening to the ejection device or rotor fan mounted behind the augers.
The augers are arranged in side by side, relation to each other; two pairs of twin augers mounted at each half of the frontal area, rotating in unison toward the fan opening, at the center; the outer augers feeding the snow to the inner augers which actually throw the snow, rearwardly, in a common tangent, through the fan opening, into the rotor fan.
The open sides or ends, permit maneuveribility into the snow banks at the sides when the device is moved parallel to the highway in snow removal operations on snow banks, which can readily be removed with a rotary, which breaks up the snow sufficiently, in order to feed the snow to the fan.
The augers on one side of the rotary have a helical pitch or slope opposite from the augers on the other side. More specifically, the augers on the right side have a right hand pitch with a left hand slope, whereas the augers on the left side have a left hand pitch with a right hand slope, looking at the augers from the front. This arrangement will move the snow very rapidly, (actually throw the snow) through the fan opening, at 200 cu. ft./sec. (snow at 10 lbs./cu. ft.) or 3600 tons of snow per hour; using the same engine used on present rotary design, for the 8 ft. swath. (See widening the scope of my invention, for the 10 ft. swath).
