Abstract

A household snow feeder was designed, and tested in an alley in Nagaoka City in order to develop a snow removing system for urban use. The structure, composed of a 330 liter tank with a vertical stirring paddle and a slurry pump to feed snow into a pipeline, proved to be safe for ordinary domestic use by women. Data are presented on capacity and power required for designing a snow feeder, and comparison is made with the larger horizontal type machine developed in the Fukui station.
