In a rotary snow plow, especially one with a high plowing capacity, with two driven feeding mechanisms (7), which are disposed on either side of the centrifugal wheel (2) and, in the direction of plowing (F), ahead of the centrifugal wheel housing (1), and which rotate in opposite directions about vertical axes and the outside of which in each case is covered totally or partly by a flashing (8), which surrounds the feeding mechanism (7) tightly, the feeding mechanism (7), for the purpose of increasing the plowing performance while using energy sparingly, comprises essentially a cage-like rotor with throwing blades (4) disposed along surface lines and distributed over the circumference, the throwing blades (14), which rotate about vertical axes, also being driven and moreover in a direction opposite to the respective rotation of the feeding mechanism (7).
A rotary snow plow, especially one with a high plowing capacity, comprising a housing, a centrifugal wheel disposed in said housing, two driven feeding mechanisms, which are disposed on either side of the centrifugal wheel and, in a direction of plowing (F), ahead of the housing, and which rotate in opposite directions about vertical axes and an outside of each of which is covered at least partly by a flashing, which surrounds the feeding mechanism tightly, wherein each feeding mechanism comprises essentially a cage-like rotor with throwing blades disposed along surface lines and distributed over the circumference thereof, the throwing blades rotating about vertical axes and being driven in a direction opposite to the respective rotation of the feeding mechanism.
