  • Patent number: 11668058
    Abstract: A ground milling machine, comprising a milling drum, rotatably mounted in a milling-drum housing, for removing ground material, a milled-material conveying apparatus for transporting the removed ground material and a dust extraction apparatus for extracting dust-containing air from a region of the milled-material conveying apparatus, the dust extraction apparatus comprising at least one extraction line, which opens into the region of the milled-material conveying apparatus via an extraction opening, the ground milling machine comprising a left side wall, a right side wall, a front wall and a rear wall, and wherein a maintenance tunnel is provided which is designed such that it establishes an access connection, accessible from outside the ground milling machine, between the extraction opening and one of the side walls, the front wall or the rear wall of the ground milling machine. A method for maintenance of the dust extraction apparatus is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230088016
    Abstract: A cleaning device for a vehicle, with which at least one cleaning location is cleaned with pressurized cleaning liquid and/or pressurized ambient air, is proposed, including: a pump-compressor stage for sucking up and conveying the cleaning liquid and/or the ambient air, a fluid path which fluidically connects the pump-compressor stage upstream to a cleaning liquid tank and to an environment of the cleaning device, and a fluid distribution apparatus downstream of the pump-compressor stage, which is fed with the cleaning liquid and/or the ambient air by the pump-compressor stage, the fluid distribution apparatus being fluidically connected to the cleaning location. A vehicle with such a cleaning device, the first and the second use, and a cleaning method for a vehicle are also proposed.

  • Patent number: 9127416
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a work train for milling an underlying ground surface and intermixing bulk material with the milled ground material, comprising a self-propelled ground milling machine, more particularly, a recycler or a stabilizer, comprising a milling drum mounted in a hood and a drive motor, a silo trailer drawn by the ground milling machine and comprising a storage container for bulk material, a conveying system, which transports bulk material during operation of the work train from the silo trailer to in front of the milling drum, as regarded in the direction of travel (a) of the ground milling machine, and an output means, which discharges the bulk material onto the ground in front of the milling drum, as regarded in the direction of travel (a). The present invention further relates to a towing device for such a work train.
