Product description

Street sweeper
© Bekaert

Street sweepers consist of a vehicle equipped with a circular brush system in the center and a gutter broom at the driver’s side.

Brushes are constructed with crimped or uncrimped electrogalvanized steel.

Circular brushes are always manufactured with crimped round filaments.

Gutter brooms are always made with flat (hard drawn or oil tempered) filaments because they are more aggressive than round filaments.
