A sweeper is one of the types of equipment that will help a person when cleaning a street area. Outwardly, such a unit resembles a cart with a high handle. Also on the body of the product there will be brushes and a block for collecting debris. The brush can be made of nylon, wire, as well as both natural and artificial fibers. Unlike a conventional broom, such a device is characterized by high performance, thanks to which it will be possible to reduce the cleaning time of the territory by several times.
For such a machine to work, an operator is required. With it, the sweeper will move in the right direction and collect debris. When the unit moves, its brush will begin to rotate. At the same time, not only garbage will be collected from the ground, but also dust and sand. Since such machines have a vacuum system, dust and debris will fall into the container and be held there. But at the same time, this unit should not be confused with a vacuum cleaner. Here, the quality of cleaning will depend on the size of the brush, and the material used to make it, as well as on the speed of movement of the device.
Thus, in about one hour, 250 sq.m. can be cleaned. Thanks to such high performance, sweepers are used not only for sweeping streets, sidewalks, but also in warehouses, supermarkets, parks, stadiums and other places with a large territory.
There are three types of such aggregates for cleaning a large area. The simplest option is a mechanical machine. Such models are also called manual.They are small in size and light in weight. However, their possibilities are limited. For this reason, such machines are used to restore order in a small area. For example, cleaning a small garden plot, sweeping a sidewalk or paths. Also, certain mechanical models can be used to clean the premises after repair. It is worth noting that the manual version of the sweeper will not emit harmful exhaust gases during operation, which have a detrimental effect on the environment. In addition, the device will not emit a high level of noise, which can distract from the usual activities. Well, the mechanical sweeper has an affordable price.
The second variant of sweepers are battery operated devices. Such models belong to battery products. They are based on an electric motor, which starts its work by charging the battery. The operating time of the battery sweeper can reach 3-4 hours. Such units have high productivity, operation is not difficult, so they are easily suitable for working on a site that has a large area. But their price is slightly higher than that of manual sweepers.
For professional use, gasoline cars are mostly used. They are designed for cleaning large areas. A feature of such models is a large working width, wide functionality, high power and efficiency during operation. Since a large amount of exhaust gases are released during the operation of a gasoline sweeper, they can only be used outdoors. The gasoline unit will clean the embankment, park or other open area from debris in a short time.Also, do not forget that of all the options for sweepers, this type is the most expensive.
In addition, sweepers are classified according to the type of brushes. In this case, the units are divided into two types: with side and rotary brushes. In the first case, the brushes are attached to the sides of the sweeper. However, they can work in two modes. The first mode assumes that the brushes will collect debris in the center of the unit, and from there it will be sucked into the container. The second mode assumes that the brushes will sweep away debris in the opposite direction from the center. This mode will be convenient when clearing the area of snow.
The rotary brush machine has a horizontal axis. The brushes will rotate around it. If the unit is of small width, then there will be only one brush. Such machines can also have two modes of operation.
Before buying a sweeper, you should decide how often you will use the unit, the area that will need cleaning, as well as the type of surface. Depending on these needs, it is worth proceeding when choosing a particular model.
If the area is not large, then a manual machine can handle this task. Units with an engine are suitable for cleaning a large area that has heavy pollution. Such machines have high power, will cope quickly with any work, while the operator will not make much effort. But such devices have a high cost, so it would not be advisable to buy such a machine for cleaning a small area.
You also need to pay attention to the brush, and what material it is made of. The strength and capabilities of the unit will depend on this parameter.If the sweeper will be used for cleaning the premises, then it is better to choose a model with a soft brush. Coarse brushes are better for cleaning unfinished surfaces, and they are also ideal for picking up large debris.
Do not disregard the design and construction of the handle. It is better to choose products with folding handles. So during storage and transportation, they will not take up much space. To make the product comfortable to use, the handle must be ergonomically shaped. This will make the car easier to drive. Inexpensive models have a long handle that cannot be folded. So cleaning a large area can take more effort, and when transporting such a unit, difficulties may arise.
The body of the sweeper can be made of plastic or metal. Plastic products have less weight, which is convenient for transportation and operation. But during cleaning, particles of dirt and debris can fly off the brushes into the body, and this damages the body. For this reason, units with a metal case will be more durable.
Not all devices have a convenient waste container. The inconvenience lies in the fact that some containers are inconveniently fastened. Because of this, difficulties may arise when removing the container. Small sweepers tend to have small containers and are fairly easy to remove and empty.
Since the operation of the device may be at different sites, the conditions may not be ideal. In this case, some parts may fail. To avoid problems with the purchase of spare parts, you need to think about this in advance. And before buying, consult on this topic with the seller. Otherwise, in the future, you may have to look for spare parts or parts for the unit for a long time.
Also, do not forget to pay attention to the manufacturer. Devices from trusted brands have a guarantee, in case of an unforeseen breakdown, it will be possible to get a free repair or replacement of the unit. But if the machine will be used periodically, and the buyer has a small area that needs cleaning, then an inexpensive unit from a little-known brand will handle this.
