Technologies to know – Trash can

RCM Technologies: RCM Rear Loading System

The central brush in sweepers is the organ that determines the operation of the machine, as well as the bucket container, which can be placed in front of the brush (system called “Front load”) or behind it (called “RCM System” or “Rear load”).

The two loading systems do not influence the cleaning quality, but determine the strategic position of the main components that make up a sweeper:

• Trash can
• Dust filter
• Operator’s position
• Steering wheel

The position of these components, including, of course, the operator’s position, has a decisive influence on the performance of the sweeper.

Let’s see…

Brief RCM System’s history

RCM built diesel engines – agricultural and industrial tractors, in 1967 decided to diversify production and began to design a sweeper for cleaning industrial buildings. Without experience in the new sector, it adapted to the technology used at the time, by the main German and American manufacturers, which provided the garbage container placed in front of the central brush, as it seemed logical that it was! The RCM realized the R700, the first Italian motoscope for the cleaning of the ships, warehouses, ceramics, etc.

After about 2 years, RCM confirmed that the market potential was huge, but it could still increase, with new sweepers more manageable, with greater load capacity and greater dust control. ¡ Simpler and (why not? ) cheaper! Born the R500 (now BRAVA).

Since then all our sweepers have been built with RCM System load system.
The task, for RCM technicians was not easy to solve, but by completely overturning the technology used until that moment, they made a new unpublished scrubber with the garbage container behind.
