What Should Be Considered When Purchasing a Road Sweeping Brush?

When purchasing road sweeping brushes, various factors need to be considered. If sweeping brushes are used in the wrong areas, the area may not be cleaned as effectively. Therefore, attention should be paid to certain factors, and the brush type should be selected according to the features of the area.

First, the brush should be chosen based on the characteristics of the area where it will be used. Once the appropriate brush for the environment is found, it should be checked whether the road sweeping brush is suitable for the machine. After confirming that both the environment and machine are compatible with the selected road sweeping brush, the cleaning process can proceed smoothly.

The features of road brushes can be adjusted. Many road sweeping brushes are made specifically for various machines and environments. The inner and outer diameter of the brush base must meet certain dimensions, and the bristle formation and density depend on the characteristics of the brush base.

The bristle thickness of road sweeping brushes is also adjustable within certain limits. Bristle thickness and length have similar properties. Once the desired brush type is selected, the bristle formation and density can be adjusted, making it easy to identify the specific type of road sweeping brush needed. Using product codes can make the process much easier.

How Much Do Road Sweeping Brushes Cost?

The prices of road sweeping brushes vary depending on several factors. Therefore, it is not possible to provide an exact price for road sweeping brushes. Road sweeping brush prices fluctuate based on the features of the brushes. By considering these features, an estimated price can be determined.

In general, side brushes or front brushes are more affordable compared to medium brushes. The prices of medium brushes for machines like Erdemli and Dulevo are higher. In Turkey, steel prices are more reasonable compared to other countries, which is why domestically produced products, such as side steel brushes, are available at lower prices.

The most significant factor influencing brush prices is the brush's size, which refers to its weight. The cost of the brush is determined by the amount of material used and the labor cost.

The second factor influencing price fluctuations is the bristle formation and density. When the bristle formation and density change, the price of the sweeping brush also changes. Therefore, customers purchasing sweeping brushes should consider the effect of bristle formation and density on price changes.

Another factor affecting the price of road brushes is the type of brush. When the type of brush changes, its features also change. Changes in brush features may cause an increase or decrease in the price of the sweeping brush. Understanding the factors affecting price changes makes it easier to choose the right brush at the best price.

It is important for buyers of road brushes to understand how specific features influence price changes. Once customers are aware of these factors, finding and purchasing an affordable road sweeping brush becomes easier.

Due to the impact of the pandemic in recent years, raw material prices have significantly increased and continue to rise. As a result, brush manufacturing costs and prices have increased significantly over the last two years.

However, despite these price increases, domestically produced goods in Turkey are very reasonable in terms of both quality and price. High-quality products are sold at very affordable prices in Turkey.

Which Materials Are Used to Manufacture Road Sweeping Brushes?

Road sweeping brushes can be produced from various materials depending on the application area, usage type, road condition, and dirt situation.

Generally, the materials used for road sweeping machine brushes are:

1. Plastic (polypropylene)

2. Steel

3. A mix of plastic (pp) and steel

Each of these materials has certain standards. Polypropylene material must have a specific fluidity for the brush to be efficient and long-lasting. Polypropylene should meet the 3-5 mfi standard.

Steel material for road sweeping brushes is produced using crushed steel wire. The quality of the material is determined by the carbon level.

Nylon, polyester, and abrasive materials are also used depending on preference.

We do produce nylon material brushes, but polyester is not used in brush production in Turkey. Brushes made of nylon and polyester are more expensive than polypropylene brushes due to higher production costs.

Abrasive material is an abrasive material, not used everywhere. It is used for cleaning floors that are impossible to clean otherwise. Abrasive brushes act like sandpaper on surfaces. Since abrasive material is expensive, abrasive brushes cost more than others.

Side brushes used in machines such as Johnston, Bucher, Schörling, and Scarab are generally made of steel because steel brushes have high resistance. Commonly used side steel brushes include Johnston side steel brush, Scarab side steel brush, and 400 mm side steel brush. These side brushes are not only made of plastic. They can also be made from a plastic-steel mix upon request.

Front brushes used in machines like Hako, Schmidt, Swingo, Clingo, and Azura are generally made of plastic. Hako front brushes, Schmidt Swingo 200 brand machines use brushes generally made of plastic (polypropylene), which can also be made of plastic (pp) steel mixture. They can also be made of steel upon request.

Medium brushes used in road sweeping machines like Erdemli, Dulevo, Schörling, and Scarab are made from plastic (polypropylene). They can also be produced as a plastic (pp) and steel mix. However, these brushes are never made entirely from steel. Erdemli medium brushes and Dulevo main brushes are entirely made of plastic.

What is the Lifespan of a Road Sweeping Brush?

Road sweeping brushes used in machines that come into contact with the surface are subject to wear and tear during use. As a result, they need to be replaced after a certain period of time and usage. In short, each brush has a lifespan. Brushes that have completed their lifespan lose their effectiveness and cannot perform efficient cleaning.

Several factors determine the lifespan of road sweeping brushes. Let's look at these factors:

1. Based on the area of use: Road sweeping brushes are used on different types of roads depending on the city's conditions. Brushes typically used on asphalt roads can also be used on concrete or dirt roads, depending on the city's structure. However, brushes designed for asphalt surfaces tend to wear out more quickly when used on dirt roads. When choosing a brush, the type of surface must be taken into account, and custom production should be done for special surfaces. For example, a brush for dirt roads should not be the same as one for asphalt roads, and the manufacturer should be informed to produce a more suitable brush.

2. Dirt conditions on roads: Some areas may have more dirt than usual. Certain places may have mud, leaves, or other debris that require special cleaning. In such cases, the situation should be communicated to the manufacturer, and the most suitable brush should be obtained. Using standard brushes in such areas can lead to poor cleaning results and a shorter lifespan of the brush.

3. Bristle thickness: The thickness of the bristles is crucial for both the lifespan of the brush and effective cleaning. For example, a standard-sized Bucher medium brush may perform well on asphalt, but it may lose efficiency and lifespan on muddy surfaces. Therefore, the bristle thickness should be adjusted based on the surface.

4. Quality of the material used: The quality of the brush is the most important factor in determining its lifespan. Brushes manufactured by different producers with varying quality materials will naturally have different lifespans. Manufacturers who compromise on quality to reduce costs produce brushes with shorter lifespans.

5. Environmental factors: Environmental factors vary from country to country. In countries like Russia, where temperatures are extremely low, there is no issue with storing brushes, while in hot countries like Qatar, excessive heat can damage the brushes. In such countries, heat-resistant brushes should be produced. Additionally, weather conditions such as rainfall, temperature, dust, impacts, machine structure, installation, maintenance work, and exposure to the sun also affect the lifespan of the brushes.

What Should Be Done?

Brushes made of plastic, such as Hako front brushes, Erdemli medium brushes, and Azura front brushes, should not be stored in sunny environments and should be installed by expert personnel, adhering to the conditions of use. Steel brushes like Johnston side steel brushes, Scarab side steel brushes, and 400 mm side steel brushes should not be stored in damp environments. Installation should also be done by expert personnel, and usage conditions should be followed.
