At United Rotary Brush, we understand the work that goes into keeping roads and runways clean. We’ve spent decades building reliable, durable sweeping tools for professionals across the country. One of our most widely used solutions is our wafer brooms—a key product for high-volume street sweeping and snow removal.
When performance matters, crews turn to us for quality and consistency. Let’s take a closer look at why wafer brooms are essential and how we help keep your equipment ready for the job.
What Are Wafer Brooms?
Wafer brooms are circular brush segments that stack together to form a powerful sweeping core. These brooms are known for their strength and efficiency. Wafer brooms are commonly used on sweepers that handle both dry and wet debris. This makes them ideal for municipal work, construction sites, and airports.
We supply different styles of wafer brooms. Each type offers a different level of aggressiveness and flexibility, depending on the task.
Why Wafer Brooms Matter
These brooms play a direct role in maintaining clean, safe roads. They help remove leaves, trash, gravel, salt, and snow from paved surfaces. Without them, debris builds up quickly. This can lead to clogged drains. Major clogs can result in vehicle damage and safety hazards.
Because of their direct contact with the pavement, wafer brooms take on constant stress. High-speed friction, sharp debris, and extreme weather all contribute to wear. That’s why using high-quality materials matters—and why so many professionals choose United Rotary Brush.
When the broom is built right, your equipment works better, lasts longer, and needs fewer repairs.
When to Replace Wafer Brooms
Knowing when to schedule a wafer broom replacement can prevent unnecessary downtime. Some signs it’s time to swap out your wafers include reduced sweeping power, inconsistent cleaning, or noisy operation.
If you’re finding that your sweeper needs more passes to get the job done, don’t wait. A worn broom puts more strain on the entire machine. It also increases fuel use and can shorten the life of other components.
We recommend checking bristle length and condition before each shift.
