Abstract
A snow removal system. The snow removal system includes a housing having an inlet disposed on a front side thereof, wherein the inlet is in fluid communication with a first chamber. An auger is disposed transversely across the first chamber, wherein the auger is operably connected to a motor within the housing. The auger rotates about a longitudinal axis thereof to mash snow and transport the mashed snow into a second chamber when the motor is actuated. The second chamber includes a primary heating element therein, the heating element designed to heat snow within the second chamber to produce steam. An outlet is disposed through a sidewall of the second chamber, wherein the outlet can emit steam from the second chamber.
Claims18
A snow removal system, comprising:
- a housing having an inlet disposed on a front side thereof;
- wherein the inlet is in fluid communication with a first chamber;
- an auger disposed transversely across the first chamber, wherein the auger is operably connected to an auger motor disposed within the housing;
- wherein the auger is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis thereof to mash snow and transport the mashed snow into a second chamber when the auger motor is actuated;
- wherein the second chamber includes a primary heating element therein, the primary heating element configured to heat snow within the second chamber to produce steam;
- a secondary heating element disposed within and extending across the first chamber;
- wherein the secondary heating element further comprises a pair of secondary coils extending from opposing ends of the secondary heating element, wherein the pair of secondary heating coils are angled towards the auger;
- an outlet disposed through a sidewall of the second chamber, the outlet configured to emit steam from the second chamber.
