Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2420813A] The method, for use in road cleaning machines, comprises wetting the internal walls of the cyclone unit so that dirt or dust sticks to the water on the walls. The walls may comprise the walls of a hopper 16 and be welled by a coarse water spray, which may be provided substantially at the air/dirt inlet of the hopper. The sprayed water may be treated to reduce its surface tension with soap, a detergent or an antibacterial agent. An atomiser 42 may be provided to atomise water into the path of the air and dirt, either within the hopper or prior to the air/dirt entering the suction pipe on the road cleaning machine. Also claimed is a road cleaning machine and a retrofit kit for a road cleaning machine.
