RECENT ACTIVITY
Dulevo International is experiencing a very successful period. Since July this year, 61 machines have left the company’s headquarters in Fontanellato in Italy. The destination of all these machines is the Port of Shuwaikh, 40km south of Kuwait City. Kuwait is one of the smallest countries in the world. It has no natural water sources, and has summers in which the temperatures rarely drop below 50°C. Forty-seven 5000 sweepers and fourteen New Commando (special machines set up specifically for this tender) are already in Kuwait ready to face the hard work specified in the five- year contract.
This delivery is the result of very complicated and difficult negotiations, which involved both Dulevo and its Kuwait dealer Tanzifco. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Mustafa and Abdul Alayan, what a year ago looked like a pipedream is now reality. The long running relationship that binds Dulevo and Tanzifco is not only professional, but is based on ongoing trust, appreciation and mutual respect that go beyond geographical and cultural distances, gradually transforming into sincere friendship.
Thanks to this kind of relationship and frank exchange of information, it was possible to develop a machine that would be absolutely perfect for an extreme environment such as the Middle East. Dulevo has invested years and substantial resources to develop an efficient vehicle, which is able to withstand high temperatures such as those in the desert.
The results are already extremely satisfactory, though will be even more evident in five years’ time, at which point the contract expires. Then, the various contractors involved will assess the purchased machines and will realize that the way to achieve great, long-lasting results is to rely upon a supplier that has many years’ experience, combined with passion and a high level of expertise.
As an important testimony of the hard work Dulevo has carried out in the Middle East, for the first time, technical specifications for tenders involving ‘mechanical-suction sweepers’ were issued. This is a step-change for Arab customers, as tradition has always dictated that contracts be awarded to major American manufacturers with their large, slow suction machines.
RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS

• The Gore^® filter, which is available on all industrial and road models, from model 1100 to model 5000) guarantees: v minimum filter maintenance. The filtering surface is completely impenetrable to particulate matter: self-cleaning even in the event of a total lack of maintenance;
• over 99% filtration of PM10 particulate matter. Dulevo and Gore^® technology reachs filtration standards for PM10, PM5,PM2.5 and PM1 considered impossible to achieve;
• long-lasting filtering quality over time. PTFE enables the filtering quality of the machine to be maintained absolutely intact over time, leaving the particulate matter outside of the membrane;a better standard of cleaning. A 35% increase in the air flow of your sweeper ensures improved suction of particulate matter and light waste;
• total resistance to external agents. Water, oil, vegetable and animal fat and chemical agents are no longer a threat to the top performance of a Dulevo sweeper;
• useful life of the filter guaranteed without limits for five years. Even if used in extremely dusty environments, the Gore^® filter still has an unlimited guarantee of five years. The patented mechanical-suction-filtering system adopted on the Dulevo sweeper, already renowned for its fine and ultrafine particle filtering properties, has now been perfected thanks to the exclusive application of Gore^® filters and it confirms itself as the only one able to guarantee the absolute damping of PM10 particles in urban and industrial environments.
