Understanding Sweeper Brooms for Effective Site Maintenance
At IRONCLAD, we take pride in offering top-quality products that support the heavy-duty needs of the construction, excavation, logging, and mining industries. A key part of our offerings includes various types of sweeper brooms—designed to ensure the smooth and efficient cleanup of job sites, streets, and roads. In this blog, we'll delve into the different types of sweeper brooms we provide and how they contribute to maintaining clean, operational job sites.
All-Pro Strip Broom
The All-Pro Strip Broom is a powerful and versatile tool designed to streamline sweeping operations. Unlike traditional tube brooms, the strip broom's design allows debris to be swept directly to the center of the hopper, reducing wear on machinery and eliminating the need for frequent elevator adjustments.
- Advantages: Quick changeover, 100% recyclable, and ideal for both heavy and light sweeping.
- Application: Works across various sweeping tasks and machines, saving storage space and costs.
The Piranha Brush
The Piranha Brush is a revolutionary addition to the world of sweeper brooms, perfect for extending gutter broom life and clearing vegetation from curbs. Its lightweight design reduces wear on hydraulics, making it an efficient mechanical alternative to herbicides for removing stubborn weeds.
- Advantages: Fits all bolt-on gutter brooms without modification, reduces friction, and is 100% recyclable.
- Application: Perfect for attacking weeds at the root, clearing gaps between asphalt and concrete, and improving overall sweeping efficiency.
Gutter Brooms
Designed for heavy-duty curb sweeping, our Gutter Brooms are available in a variety of configurations, including bolt-on and clip-on models with either wire or poly fills. These brooms are built to withstand the toughest conditions and provide long-lasting durability.
- Advantages: Patented wire technology, 100% recyclable, oil-tempered wire for extended life, and available in multiple section types.
- Application: Ideal for curb sweeping in front of main broom vacuums, with options for various sweeper models.
Tube Brooms
Known for their robust sweeping performance, Tube Brooms are essential for handling heavy debris. Featuring a full-fill design, these brooms provide superior sweeping results and have a longer lifespan due to increased filament in their bristles.
- Advantages: Poly or poly/wire combinations available, aggressive sweeping action, and durable construction.
- Application: Suitable for street sweepers, center brooms, and other machines used in road maintenance.
Wafer Sections
Our Wafer Sections offer a flexible and durable solution for road sweeping, with options available in poly, wire, or a poly/wire combo. These wafers can be easily replaced and are available in both flat and convoluted styles.
- Advantages: Longer sweeping time between changes, excellent for heavy-duty debris like asphalt and clay, and suitable for various machine types.
