Abstract

The object of the invention is a snow loading machine comprising a snow collection chute (1) transverse to the direction of travel (A) of the snow loading machine and movable along the ground, the chute being provided with a screw conveyor (2) for moving snow in the snow collection chute, in the longitudinal direction of the chute, towards a scraper conveyor (3) and for moving the snow with the scraper conveyor onto a platform body or other desired collection base. At the discharge end of the screw conveyor (2) is arranged a conical compacting means (5) for compacting the snow fed by the screw conveyor (2) and for guiding it from the side to the scraper conveyor (3). In addition are arranged means for adjusting the speed of movement of the scraper conveyor (3) and the screw conveyor (2) with respect to one another.
