The MBS system, a patented innovation by Bucher Municipal, sets a new standard for winter road maintenance by enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of snow removal operations. When paired with Bucher Municipal snowploughs, this advanced technology offers a powerful combination of safety, reliability, and innovation. Here’s how it works and why it’s a game-changer for managing snowy and icy roads.
What is MBS Technology?
The MBS system is an advanced solution designed to inject a brine solution directly onto the road surface via the scraper edge of the snowplough. This innovative approach provides several benefits:
- Precise Application: The brine is applied from a specially designed bi-shore Neoprene cutting edge with perforations, ensuring the solution is evenly spread and remains on the road surface.
- Enhanced Adherence: The injected brine adheres perfectly to the asphalt, even on irregular surfaces, minimizing dispersion caused by passing traffic.
- Environmental Benefits: By reducing the need for dry salt by up to 30%, the system significantly decreases its environmental impact.
How the MBS System Works
As the snowplough moves, the brine is released directly from the cutting edge onto the asphalt. This method serves multiple purposes:
- Prevents Ice Formation: The brine helps to melt the thin layer of snow left after ploughing, preventing it from compacting into ice.
- Long-Lasting Effect: The mechanical injection ensures that 100% of the solution remains on the road, eliminating wastage and reducing the need for repeated applications.
- Reduced Maintenance Passes: With the MBS system, the number of snowplough passes can be reduced by up to 50%, saving both time and operational costs.
Key Benefits of the MBS System
- Increased Road Safety:
By melting residual snow and preventing ice formation, the MBS system drastically reduces the risk of accidents, ensuring safer driving conditions. - Sustainability in Action:
The reduction in dry salt usage contributes to a lower environmental footprint, aligning with modern sustainability goals. - Cost and Time Savings:
Fewer maintenance passes mean less fuel consumption, reduced wear on equipment, and lower operational expenses.
A Winning Solution for Winter Maintenance
The MBS system represents a leap forward in snowplough technology. By combining cutting-edge engineering with environmental responsibility, it provides essential support to road maintenance teams tasked with keeping roads safe and clear during winter weather. Whether it’s a light snowfall or heavy accumulation, the MBS system ensures optimal performance, reduced costs, and improved road safety.
