New Delhi, February 4, 2019: Tata Motors showcased its smart, environment-friendly solutions for waste management at the Clean Tech Environment 2019, which is being held from February 3-5. The products on display are designed to control air pollution and handle various types of solid and liquid waste in a humane manner, addressing the pressing needs of providing environment conducive products, in both metropolitan cities and smaller towns.

 

Tata Motors displayed Tata 3 KL Spray tank truck on LPT 709 CNG and Tata 3.5 CuM Litter picker on LPT 407 CNG vehicles during the Clean Tech Environment 2019 event. Equipped with municipal application solutions, these products are built on the most versatile platforms of Tata light commercial vehicles running on CNG, popular for their reliability and performance, providing the most cost efficient solutions. These variants with their superior designs and various customisations for multiple applications ensure ease and convenience of use and provide customers with smarter mobility solutions.

 

Commenting on the occasion RT Wasan, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Commercial Vehicle Business Unit, Tata Motors Ltd said, “Urban waste in India is a huge problem leading to health and environmental issues. To address this issue, both private and government sector are working together for a clean and green India. Tata Motors has always been a frontrunner in collaborating with the government to provide a number of smart, sustainable mobility solutions for today’s Smart Cities.

 

“As pioneers in the field, we have been the leading supplier of waste management solutions to various municipalities across the country under Swachh Bharat Mission. Clean Tech Environment 2019 gives us a platform to be a part of this transformational journey for a cleaner and greener tomorrow.”

 

Keeping in mind the unsafe air pollution in Delhi, the Spray tank truck are designed to control air pollution and provide an environment-friendly solution to the vendors. The mist formed by sprinkler nozzles fitted in the water tanker helps in suppressing the dust particles. This product is available on CNG platform and is prescribed by various regulatory bodies.

 

Built on a more powerful and sturdier truck chassis, the Litter picker has higher container volume of 3,500 l as compared to the small Litter pickers which has a volume of 300-400 l. This enhances the productivity of the vehicle and can be used continuously for a much longer time. The machine has an auxiliary engine, which operates as a compressor as well as drive the vacuum suction centrifugal blower. The material being suctioned is separated from the airstream with the help of a cyclonic separator installed in the machine container hopper of volume 3,500 l. The fine dust is further separated from the airstream by the imported cartridge bag filters provided in the container, ensuring only clean air is exhausted from the machine’s centrifugal blower discharge.

 

The product does not require manual handling of the collected waste as the material collected is being suctioned directly in the machine collection hopper and is being discharged by hydraulic tipping of the container. The collected spillages in the machine hopper are taken to the dumping ground and are discharged by hydraulic tipping of the container. The discharge door locking and lifting is also hydraulic assisted. Though the bag filters are being continuously cleaned with automatic compressed air purging system, there is no need of frequent replacement of collection bags. The vehicle is designed to suction horticulture spillages like leaves, horticulture waste and littered spillages like small cans, water bottles, cardboard boxes, plastic boxes etc., lying alongside the road.

 

Clean Tech Environment 2019 is a mega-networking forum for the government, municipalities, pollution control boards, decision-makers, business leaders, investors and country delegations from around the world to combine their synergies to create the right-enabling environment for building better cities.
