Sweepers meet air quality test protocol
Canada’s Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program has verified the data from air quality performance tests conducted by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) on two Elgin Sweeper models – a Crosswind NX regenerative air street sweeper and a mechanical Waterless Eagle FW mechanical street sweeper. The ETV verification also confirms that PAMI’s tests followed the City of Toronto “PM10 and PM2.5 Street Sweeper Ef-ficiency Test Protocol, Version 1,” issued in 2008 – also known as the Toronto Sweeper Testing Protocol.
“With the PAMI test results, we have credible, quantifiable data that proves the Elgin Crosswind NX and Waterless Eagle sweepers remove small particulate matter from roads and city streets without the release of potentially harmful fine dust from the operation of the sweepers into the atmosphere,” said Brian Giles, sweeper products manager.
