Dust guard for sweeper

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.
