 The snow machine melts approximately of snow per hour using air/fuel combustion to heat water and mix it with snow in a melting tank.The melted snow continuously drains from the tank, as it overflows, out of the melter and into storm drains or sewers along the road.The machine is self-propelled and self-loading, and resembles a large truck-mounted furnace with a snow-gathering conveyor belt at the front end.
