Improving Your Kickbroom or Sweeper Attachment Performance With a Wafer Broom Replacement

Blogs

Clean streets require effort. At United Rotary Brush, we know that the construction sweeping tools you use every day are very important. They impact your results right away. When performance decreases, your operations are not as efficient. This is why a wafer broom replacement is such a vital piece of road construction sweeping.

Fresh wafer brooms can enhance sweeping power. They reduce wear on your sweeper or attachment. They help you get more done with each pass. So it’s very important to know when you need a wafer broom replacement.

 

Why Sweepers and Attachments Need the Right Wafer Brooms

Sweepers and sweeper attachments work hard. They can be used to remove dust and leaves. Sand and gravel. Even large pieces of debris. All of these items can put a strain on the broom system. Over time, the bristles will wear down and no longer make as much contact with the pavement as they once did.

When there is less contact with the pavement, you’ll notice reduced performance. This can be streaks or missed spots. Sometimes worse.

Replacing wafer brooms in a timely fashion can solve these issues. With fresh bristles, the broom will be able to work quickly and be more efficient. New brooms mean fewer passes are required for the sweeper to clear an area, such as a street or a parking lot.

 

 

Knowing When It’s Time for a Wafer Broom Replacement

Some sweeper operators make the mistake of using their brooms for too long. Some do the opposite and replace brooms too soon. So, how do you know what the right balance is? Clearly you don’t want to wait too long and jeopardize the sweeper or attachment. But also, replacing too early and getting rid of a perfectly good wafer is wasteful.

We suggest inspecting brooms regularly. If the bristle length has gotten noticeably shorter, it’s time to replace the wafer. Also, are your sweeping jobs taking longer than usual? If so, a wafer replacement could fix this issue.

Don’t wait for problems to accumulate. Replace your wafers at the proper time. This helps keep your sweeper in top shape. It can also prevent costly downtime.
