vironment and achieves low noise emissions ( goodbye noise pollution ).
Water ? While it may seem odd to mention water when talking about electricity , it makes sense with today ’ s critical water supply issues . The CityCat VR50e uses a recirculation system to reuse water inside the hopper . The result ? Reduced refilling costs and extends on-station / work time with the 232 gallon water capacity .
Water is also used to suppress dust via water jests on each brush to provide a fine clean water spray and trap dust particles lifted by the two ( or optional third brush ) brushes . Recycled water from the hopper if filtered and fed into the suction intake . ( The VR50e is PM 2.5 and PM10 4 star certified for dust emissions ).
Low cost of ownership
One of the most valuable benefits of the CityCat VR50e is the low cost ownership . How is this accomplished ?
• Water recirculation system reuses the service water from the hopper and feeds this to the suction intake to minimize fill-ups and maximize on-station time .
• Self-adjusting disc brakes on both axles reduce service time .
• Energy-saving LED lights offer more powerful lighting while significantly reducing the number of times bulbs require replacement .
• Reduced number of greasing points with autolube option to save on servicing costs .
• Vulnerable nodes and electronic components protected up to IP69 standard and additional covers reduce risk of further water ingress .
• CSense display with full on-board diagnostics and reduced downtime .
• Steel hydraulic pipes replace flexible hoses to reduce chaffing and premature hose wear . Up to 60 % less hydraulic hoses than other sweepers in this class .
• Hopper manufactured out of stainless steel for protection against corrosion and wear .
• Heavy-duty fan with wear resistant blades .
• Hydraulic , optimized design for less maintenance .
• Maintenance-free Bucher Battery Pack protected in a shock , water , and dust-proof case .
