APM Cleaning Vehicle

The rail cleaning vehicle is designed for cleaning operations on the running surface of APM trains, targeting dust, solid waste, minor snow accumulation, standing water, sludge, and debris buildup. It complies with track clearance requirements, adapts to various line conditions, and features interface compatibility with both the track running surface and guide rails.  

Employing dry cleaning technology, the vehicle’s core functionality is centered around a vacuum suction system. Two sets of dust collection units (one on each side) with full-width suction hoods cover the entire track surface, enabling vacuum-based debris collection within the hoods. In addition to the suction units, rotating brushes are integrated to gather solid waste. The comprehensive operational system includes a power supply for cleaning equipment, vacuum collection systems, hydraulic systems, control and operation interfaces, and video monitoring systems. During cleaning operations, the vehicle adjusts its speed between 2–5 km/h for optimal performance, with a maximum travel speed of 30 km/h. It supports bidirectional operation and can maintain low constant speeds to ensure thorough cleaning efficiency.
