Sweepex gives paper the brush off
September 1st 2007 Site Serv is using
Broadwood's SweepEx
brush to make light work of
sweeping up loose paper in
a paper mill in Sheffield.
SweepEx is used daily by
Site-Serv, which is
responsible for
housekeeping at the mill, to
keep the one acre fibreyard
clean of small particles
of paper. Broadwood has
supplied the SweepEx with
a fork sleeve hitch, which
enables the telehandler to
be transformed into a
sweeping machine. In order
for the paper to be easily
gathered, debris collectors
on either end of the brush
gather together small
particles of paper and
prevent them blowing
around. The SweepEx's
compact design allows a
powerful sweeping action
both forwards and
backwards allowing rapid,
efficient and economical
sweeping of large areas.
The hi-grade
polypropylene brush
section has rows of 30cm
bristles that provide around
450 miles of sweeping
before they need changing. More articles from Broadwood International: |
