automaturatoare Schmidt Flexigo 150

The smallest all-rounder in the Schmidt sweeper family is flexibly expandable and can be combined with many attachments and mountable equipment for both summer and winter road maintenance. With its comfortable articulated steering, high payload and a permissible gross vehicle weight of 3.5 tonnes, the Flexigo 150 can be used over a wide area – from streets to narrow alleys in pedestrianized areas.

The Flexigo 150 combines excellent sweeping characteristics and a high load capacity with the advantages of a multi-functional equipment carrier. In addition to its use as a sweeper, other attachments and mounted implements, such as a scrub deck, mower/suction combination, snowplow, or attachable and mounted spreader, allow it to be used all year round. The integrated quick-change system makes conversion simple, safe, and fast.

Innovative broom system
The Flexigo 150 is available with a professional 2-brush or optional 3-brush system. Good overlap between the brooms and the suction nozzle ensures that no material is left lying around even when driving around tight bends. The brush system is operated via a joystick integrated into the armrest, ensuring fatigue-free working. A hydraulic support pressure control for the front linkage is available as an option. This ensures optimum ground adjustment and reduces wear on the front brushes to a minimum.

In the event of a collision with an obstacle, the broom can move inwards. The nitrogen-filled hydraulic accumulators on the broom swivel cylinders ensure that the broom is automatically returned to its starting position.
In the case of coarse dirt and particularly difficult objects, the patented, unique airflow system builds up the airflow much more quickly than other solutions, resulting in excellent suction power.
The noise level was kept as low as possible despite the high power output. With a sound power level of 99 dB(A), cleaning is also possible at off-peak times.

Effective fine dust management
The Flexigo 150 has been tested according to the strict guidelines of the EUnited – European Engineering Industries Association. Outside the machine, the multi-stage dust binding system ensures that the air is low in fine dust. The freshwater system has a volume of 200 liters. A powerful water pump supplies two spray nozzles on the disc brushes and four nozzles in the suction nozzle. A circulating water system is also fitted as standard. In this system, the circulating water from the hopper is fed directly back into the suction nozzle. This saves fresh water and the hopper capacity is used to the optimum. The collected waste material is both moistened and compressed and only clean and low-dust air is released into the environment. For this, the Flexigo 150 has been awarded 4 out of 4 stars in the PM10/PM2.5 certificate.

The dumping height of the hopper is 1600mm which allows emptying into all common dirt/waste containers.
An optional and extremely robust weed brush ensures effortless mechanical removal of weeds. The three-dimensional brush adjustment options always ensure optimum operating height to the ground.

Snow clearing and de-icing
The low center of gravity, the compact dimensions, the high engine output of 75HP/55 kW, and the permanent four-wheel drive, all ensure safe working and maneuvering under even the most difficult conditions and in the tightest of spaces. The high payload of the Flexigo 150 allows the use of large-volume spreader bodies, thus extending operating times and operating distances.

Aebi Schmidt offers a wide range of attachments for professional winter services, such as snowplows, snowblowers, front sweepers, and various spreaders and sprayers. High-quality and well-thought-out technology reduce noise and vibrations during operation, thus increasing the user’s comfort.

Wet cleaning
Under hot, dry, and very dusty conditions, wet cleaning is an important and interesting alternative to sweeping. Equipped with a 1.5m wash bar, roads and pavements can be intensively cleaned with a low, medium, or high-pressure pump system.
The combination of scrub deck and debris hopper turns the Flexigo 150 into a mechanical surface wet cleaner, with simultaneous dirty water extraction. Whether in a multi-story car park or pedestrian zone, the special design allows cleaning close to the edges as well as targeted cleaning of inaccessible niches – without any problems. The scrub deck delivers very good and lasting cleaning results on a wide variety of surfaces.

Drive
The Flexigo 150 is equipped with a four-cylinder Common Rail Perkins diesel engine with 75 hp/55 kW and 2.2 liters capacity. It meets the latest environmental standards for minimum emissions and fine dust pollution. The transport speed is either up to 25 or 40 km/h.

The patented Bosch Rexroth HET drive system 4×4 (High-Efficiency Traction Control) guarantees optimum driving performance under the most difficult conditions, as well as low fuel consumption at maximum power. The HET automatically compensates for the lack of traction on one or more wheels, thus ensuring optimum driving performance. It is also possible to stop and restart on a gradient of up to 30%, even with the full weight of 3,500 kg. The electronically controlled hydrostat optimizes the interaction between engine and drive for maximum performance. The HET drive system shifts back and forth between the two-speed levels completely automatically.

The Flexigo 150 can be connected to the Aebi Schmidt IntelliOPS platform which provides comprehensive monitoring, selection, reporting, and analysis functions. It enables rapid performance evaluation by displaying machine activity data live on a map and facilitates the use of the collected data by providing detailed overviews and reports to optimize the work process.
