New technology garbage pick-up equipment works with a capacity of about 25 to 30 tons of trash within 8 hours.

Recently, the Waterway Management Center in coordination with Saigon Traffic Construction Joint Stock Company has operated new technology equipment in the collection of rubbish on the Vam Thuat River, at Ben Phan Bridge (Go Vap District, City). .HCM).

As noted by PV, there are three devices in operation to pick up trash, mainly water hyacinth and floating garbage. A device like a large barge has a garbage storage compartment and a pick-up crane. On both sides of the conveyor belt are fitted with two garbage collection wings, which help to put the garbage on the deck. In addition, the small garbage pick-up machine is operated by one person, moving the garbage and bringing it to the barge.

According to PV’s observations in just a few working hours tons of water hyacinths are collected ashore.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hai, Head of Maintenance Management Division, Waterway Management Center, said that for many years, garbage collection has contributed to reducing the amount of rubbish on the above rivers, gradually improving the regional environment. However, the garbage collection is still rudimentary, using a lot of manual labor, and the efficiency and productivity are not high.

Therefore, the unit has piloted operation of new technology equipment imported from the US. With this new technology, workers do not have to salvage manually but completely control by machine, collecting every two days, the capacity to pick up about 25 to 30 tons within 8 hours.

“This device will save manpower, time and collect large volumes, thereby increasing the economic efficiency of the city. Besides, it will also create a better image on the river compared to traditional garbage collection.” – Mr. Hai said.

Regarding the current difficulties, Mr. Hai added that in addition to floating rubbish and water hyacinths, there are large-sized rubbish such as blankets, mattresses, tables and chairs, making it difficult to collect trash. In addition, the river bank is not straight and flat, so the access of the machine is also difficult.

Mr. Hai added that the garbage collection system consists of five devices, of which two are imported from the US and three are researched and manufactured by a team of Vietnamese engineers. After the pilot period, the Department of Transport will report to the City People’s Committee replicated in the area. At the same time, the unit is also building a unit price that is suitable for management in the future.

Pilot garbage collection with new technology

Previously, on October 9, 2020, the Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City held a pilot meeting to collect and collect rubbish on the Vam Thuat – Ben Cat river using modern equipment with new technology.

This equipment is proposed by Saigon Transport Construction Joint Stock Company to use in the spirit of the “Ho Chi Minh City people do not litter the streets and canals because the city is clean and less flooded”.
