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.
Cities as important as Ryadh, Dammam or Jeddah have used Piquersa sweepers for their cleaning services for years. Now, nine BA-2300H units are added to this list for the city of Medina.
Bee'ah, leading environmental management company in the UAE, is now expanding with 3 new contracts for cleaning, collecting and recycling waste in Medina, covering the North, West and East regions. PIQUERSA sweepers are part of the comprehensive roadmap that Bee'ah has developed to support Madinah's transition to a sustainable city of the future within the Saudi Vision 2030 program, deploying 3,000 workers, 350 advanced waste collection units, sweepers of streets and MSW collection trucks.
The nine BA-2300Hs units will have to work in a really harsh environment, with a large amount and types of waste, the extreme climate and the amount of sand. These conditions mean that very few sweepers on the market are capable of operating optimally, highlighting the Piquersa's mechanical sweeping and rejecting other types of sweeping.
PIQUERSA consolidates in that way its presence in the Middle East as one of the leading suppliers of sweepers, providing street cleaning solutions in one of the most demanding markets and with more extreme working conditions in the world.
PIQUERSA has just incorporated into its production line the range of hydrostatic dumpers of 2,000 Kg. payload. The new series is made up of the front discharge, self-loading, rotating discharge and self-loading with rotating discharge versions.
These dumpers present great advantages over those already on the market, offering the highest capacity hopper on the market, an excellent turning radius and a large maximum overcome slope, as well as incorporating four wheel motors and joystick control.
Especially interesting are the D-2000H-AC and D-2000H-AG models that have the robust PIQUERSA shovel with standard teeth.
The new PIQUERSA D-2000H series add to the widest range of dumpers available on the market, offering a solution tailored to the specific needs of each customer.
