Abstract: A vacuum assembly module mountable to a work machine attachment for providing dust-reducing capabilities is provided. The vacuum assembly module is a self-supported unit and can be mountable to work machine attachments such as rotary brooms, cold planers, and the like to retrofit the attachment with dust-reducing capabilities. The vacuum assembly module includes a central frame that provides an air flow passage. The central frame supports a filter and a fan within the air flow passage. A fan motor operably drives the fan to draw air through the air flow passage and filter. The fan motor is operably connected to an auxiliary power source, such as a work machine. An optional vibrator may be included for operably shaking and dislodging debris from the filter. The vacuum assembly module may be attached to a debris collecting bin to form a vacuum having a hose.
Abstract: An implement adapted to be combined with a prime mover vehicle. The implement comprises a piece of equipment such as a rotary broom sweeper. The implement generally comprises a frame carried by wheels, an axle combined with the wheels, and a hydraulic system that includes a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor. As the prime mover moves the implement, the wheels of the implement turn. The wheels are operatively combined with the hydraulic pump to actuate the flow of hydraulic fluid through the hydraulic system. The hydraulic system actuates the piece of equipment carried by the implement.
