500mm PA66 Sweeper Module Brush
- Head length
- 500 mm
PRODUCT CATEGORY
Municipal sweeper brushes are high-wear machine components. Main brooms, side brooms, wafer assemblies and guardrail rollers move debris in different directions and experience different loads, so replacement geometry and filament pattern are critical.
Compare road-sweeper main brushes, side brushes, wafer products, guardrail rollers and snow or street-sweeping brushes.









A road sweeper broom wears for a living. It runs against asphalt and concrete for hours each shift and is replaced as a scheduled wear part. The main broom throws debris into the hopper or conveyor. The side brooms pull it out of the curb line into the main broom's path. Each one is built to the machine it goes on.
| Position | Brush in this range | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Main broom | Road sweeper brush; 250 × 2,000 mm PA66 and 300 × 2,200 mm PP main brushes | 300–900 mm diameter, 500–2,400 mm wide |
| Main broom in modules | 500 mm PA66 sweeper module brush on a snap-fit PP base | 500 mm sections |
| Side broom | Side brush; 400 mm PP and 500 mm PA66 side brushes | 180–500 mm head, trim to about 250 mm |
| Guardrails and roadside edges | 180 × 1,800 mm PP guardrail cleaning roller | 180 mm diameter, 1,800 mm face |
| Snow and slush | Snow sweeping roller brush | 320–900 mm diameter, 700–1,800 mm wide |
| Fill | Where it works |
|---|---|
| PP | General grit, leaves and litter, wet or dry. Water-resistant and the lowest cost. |
| PA66 and other nylons | Longer life than PP; keeps its spring in cold weather |
| Carbon steel wire, or a wire and PP mix | Packed mud, sand and concrete fines on building sites |
Filament runs from about 0.5 to 2.5 mm thick. Thicker fill lasts longer and moves heavier debris; thinner fill sweeps fine dust better.
Everything the broom is mounted by. For main brooms: diameter, width, the core, and the drive ends or quick-change coupling. For side brooms: diameter, trim length, the steel base plate, its bolt pattern and the drive hub. Send the sweeper make and model, the part number, or the old broom. Cores and plates are powder-coated steel so they do not rust in wet sweeping.
Main brooms are built three ways. A spiral fill throws debris to one side as it turns. Wafer brooms are stacked rings, 25–100 mm wide each, so the fill can be renewed by changing the wafers on the old core. Modular brushes snap onto a base, so a worn section is changed without the whole broom. The sweeper is usually built for one of these; the original broom shows which.
Snow brooms have to stay flexible below freezing, so they use nylon, which keeps its bending recovery in the cold and flicks snow and slush clear instead of dragging it. Guardrail rollers run along the rail and roadside edge on a boom, so they are made in PP for wet road dirt and built to the boom's shaft.
Because on a runway or apron, the broom is there to remove foreign-object debris: loose stones, rubber fragments and metal that an engine can swallow. A broom that sheds bristles adds to the problem it was bought to solve. Brooms for airfield sweepers are built with the fill held securely in the core or wafers, and wire fill is kept out unless the airport asks for it. Tell us when brooms are for airside use, and give the airport's own rules for sweeper brushes with the enquiry, so the build and the checks before shipping are agreed with you first.
Sweeper brooms are changed on hours, not when they fail. A broom is worn when the fill no longer reaches the road with a full contact band, about 25–50 mm wide, after the height is adjusted. Wear rate depends on the surface, the debris and the pressure, so it is recorded on your own machines. Replacement brooms can then be ordered in batches, model by model.
Main brooms, side brooms and rollers start at 100 pieces per design. The modular brush starts at 500.
Provide main/side/wafer function, mounting, OD or plate size, working length, debris and road conditions. We can then build around the machine.
