Dust guard for sweeper
June 1st 2010

At the Wienerberger brick works in Kidderminster fine dusts range from fine clay particles to brick dust and chippings. Keeping kiln and clay processing areas clean is a problem.

Areas used to be cleaned manually using yard brooms and operatives with face masks. Now, the site uses a diesel powered Nilfisk SR1601 rideon sweeper with a Dust Guard System that constantly sprays a fine mist of water over the brushes to suppress airborne dust. A 10m2 washable panel filter ensures dustfree sweeping throughout. A filter shaker facility prevents the build up of dust and any potential clogging.

The main broom is free floating with the ride on machine providing a sweeping path of up to 1600mm.
