Sand cutter blower
The SANTERA 3000 was specially developed for sand clearing operations.
The mounted sand cutter blower is so robustly built that it is guaranteed a long working life even in extreme operating conditions in sand. Particular materials such as Hardox steel, bearings impermeable to sand and labyrinth boxes (seals) reduce the wear to a minimum.
The specially serrated cutter drums of the SANTERA 3000 easily deal with hard and damp sand as well as loose sand. The high circumferential speed of the blower wheel sends the sand a long way to the side.
The clearing unit is powered by a power pack mounted on the vehicle.
The SANTERA 3000 was specially developed for the UNIMOG U 500. The combination of the two is a guarantee of high manoeuvrability and cross-country mobility even in loose sand.
