MECHANICAL SWEEPER

Mechanical (broom-conveyor) street sweepers clean using a purely mechanical pickup path instead of vacuum suction. A main broom at the center of the machine lifts debris directly onto a conveyor, which carries it up into a hopper — with no filter bags or dust filtration system in the loop at all. That makes this type of sweeper well suited to heavier, wetter, and coarser debris than a vacuum sweeper is designed for, and to sweeping in wet conditions and on uneven road surfaces.
