The new machine offers the maximum respect for the environment by using a minimum quantity of water and fuel.

Ferrovial, the company in charge of the street cleaning and waste collection service of the Port of Almería, has replaced an obsolete mechanical sweeper with an avant-garde sweeper. The new sweeper BA-2300H, which also incorporates a flushing equipment, has been delivered by the Piquersa company to Cespa, in a demonstration event attended by the president of the Almería Port Authority, Jesús Caicedo, the manager of Piquersa Maquinaria, Inmmaculada Piquer, the quality manager of Cespa in Almería, Juan Leal, and Moisés Linares, from the machinery company Guillermo García Muñoz.

With an Avant-garde design and panoramic vision, the sweeper is distinguished by its reliability, power and manageability, as well as by the quality of the sweep it performs. Its advanced hydraulic and simple electronics optimize maintenance costs, and thanks to the drag sweep system designed and patented by Piquersa, it offers maximum respect for environment by using a minimum quantity of water and fuel (3.5 liters/hour). By lacking suction turbines, noise and dust emissions are significantly reduced compared to other cleaning methods. Likewise, its system allows to collect from large quantity of sand to bulky objects such as glass bottles, boxes and difficult objects such as hangers.

Seaports are one of the most aggressive and difficult to maintain environments and only the best sweepers can guarantee optimal results. In this way, Port of Almería faith on reaching the highest standards of cleanliness in its facilities, especially when all projections foresee a significant increase in commercial activity.
