Snow Removal Systems
The SRS-P100 is the portable, environmentally friendly way to solve your snow storage problems. Our closed loop HTS melting process ensures you are not adding pollutants to the by-product melt water.
The entire system can be towed from site to site utilizing a tandem commercial grade dump truck, has a guaranteed 100 ton per hour (TPH) melt capacity, is just under 38 feet in length, has a simple control system, and features optional hydraulically operated lifting/tilting cleanout trays. This allows the in-tank grit/residue to easily slide to the starboard side and exit through the cleanout doors. It is a very simple and efficient system.

COST COMPARISON SRS-P100
Melting vs. Hauling/Trucking
(Example: Goal of removing 100 tons of snow per hour)
Variables:
1. Truck load capacity
2. Snow density
3. Turn-around time per load per truck
Assumptions for this particular example:
1. Truck load capacity of 12 cu. yds. per truck
2. Snow density of 25 lbs/cu. ft.
3. Total turn-around time of 20 min/load per truck
4. Per truck operating cost of $120.00/hr.
5. Front End Loader operating cost of $120.00/hr.
**Removing 100 tons of snow per hour, at a density of 25 lbs/cu. ft. = 297cu. yds. per hour.
Traditional Hauling/Trucking Method
To Haul 297cu. yds/hr. would require approximately 8 trucks or 24.75 loads/hr.
| 8 trucks X $120/hr | = | $960.00/hr |
| 1 loader X $120/hr | = | $120.00/hr |
| Total | $1080.00/hr |
Melting Method
To Melt 100 tons/hr or 297cu. yds/hr would require (1) SRS-P100 portable melter.
| Burner fuel: | (avg) 150 US GPH @ $2.25/gal | = | $337.50/hr |
| Front End Loader: | 1 X $120/hr | = | $120.00/hr |
| Operator wages: | = | $25.00/hr | |
| Maintenance/Service: | = | $10.00/hr | |
| Depreciation: | (10,000 hrs use) | = | $31.50/hr |
| Total | $524.00/hr |
Cost Savings of Melting vs. Hauling/Trucking
| Hauling/Trucking | = | $1080.00/hr | Cost per Ton | = | $10.80 | |
| SRS-P100 Melter | = | $524.00/hr | Cost per Ton | = | $5.24 | |
| Savings by Melting | = | $556.00/hr | Savings per Ton | = | $5.56 |
The answer is obvious. MELTING SAVES MONEY!
