Collecting unit for animal excrements on open road and vehicles equipped with such unit

Abstract From the Canadian patent

There is provided a cleaning unit for road cleaning vehicles in particular for collecting animal excrements on the open road and specifically from sidewalks. The unit comprises both at least one liquid feed means and aspiration means thereby producing moist collecting through aspersion and aspiration. The aspersion liquid can be admixed with a quantity of a hardening substance such that the moist collecting of excrements is produced without liquefying of already dispersed excrements but by obtaining almost instantaneous hardening thereof. It can also comprise means for breaking up solid excrements said means being for example a rotary knife.
