en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's expressway mileage exceeds 180,000 kilometers, with annual waste volume surpassing 1 million tons, posing safety and efficiency challenges for maintenance and cleaning. Traditional sweepers operate at low speeds, struggle to match traffic flow, and present safety hazards. Over the past decade, the MAX60 high-speed sweeper, independently developed by Zhejiang Zhuma Engineering Machinery Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., has changed this situation with its 60 km/h operational capability.

In 2013, Zhuma's technical team discovered that no sweeping equipment, either domestically or internationally, met the demands of high-speed operations, leading to the project's initiation. After five years of research, development, and testing, the first prototype rolled off the line in 2017. Following two more years of road test optimization, the MAX60 officially entered mass production in 2019. The vehicle adopts core technologies such as a "mid-mounted four-disc brush plus rear-mounted dual negative-pressure suction nozzle," achieving a sweeping speed of 50-65 km/h, with a maximum of 70 km/h, significantly enhancing efficiency and safety. Its closed hydraulic system and high-efficiency fan reduce fuel consumption, while active safety systems, including flashing arrow lights and warning displays, have resulted in zero rear-end collision incidents during operation since its launch.

The MAX60 has accumulated 2 invention patents and 13 utility model patents, with test mileage exceeding 50,000 kilometers and actual application mileage surpassing 200,000 kilometers. Since its market launch in 2019, it has been applied in over twenty provinces and cities nationwide, covering complex road sections such as the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, the Qinling Tunnel Group, and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, achieving a customer repurchase rate of 90%. Some vehicles have operated continuously for over 360,000 kilometers, with single-unit annual operation exceeding 40,000 kilometers. This product has driven the industry's shift from a "mass manpower tactic" to an efficient cleaning model.

Zhejiang Zhuma will continue to innovate, providing more efficient equipment for expressway maintenance.
