Custom Cleaning Brush
Side Broom
Side Broom provides controlled brush contact for floor and pavement machine cleaning across concrete, tile, and epoxy. Working width, brush geometry, mounting, and fill are set around the machine path and the way dust, sand, and mud must be released or carried away.
Product Features
Pulls debris from edges into the main cleaning path — Angled disc bristles reach curbs, walls, and machine sides.
Mixed filament handles different debris — Polypropylene sweeps general litter, wire cuts compacted dirt, and softer fill controls dust.
Segment or tuft pattern improves pickup — Fill can be concentrated at the outer edge for effective side contact.
Durable hub matches the sweeper drive — Center holes, bolt patterns, and drive interfaces can be built to the machine.
Replaceable wear component — The complete side broom can be changed quickly during maintenance.
Customized to the sweeper — Diameter, trim, filament mix, tuft pattern, hub, and rotation direction can be specified.
Product Overview
Side Broom is used where repeatable contact is needed across concrete, tile, and epoxy rather than isolated hand cleaning. The active brush face clears dust, sand, and mud while the holder, shaft, plate, or hub stays outside the interference path and supports the required working width. Brush diameter, drive pattern, working width, and floor pressure must match the machine and surface.
Key dimensions start with Brush head diameter 180–500 mm and Brush head length 400–900 mm. The structural layout follows the road sweeper brooms category. The specified interface is quick-change coupling / bolted. Polypropylene PP and Nylon PA are the principal material directions in the current specification. The brush should be specified from the real machine connection and operating speed, not from a generic RPM value.
Technical Specifications
| Side broom outside diameter | 400–900 mm |
|---|---|
| Plate or block diameter | 180–500 mm |
| Filament length | 150–400 mm |
| Filament diameter | 0.70–3.00 mm |
| Drive interface | Bolt circle, drive plate, spline, hub, or quick-change mount |
| Fill | Crimped wire, flat wire, polypropylene, mixed wire/polymer, or segments |
| Contact setting | Set 25–75 mm ground contact pattern; excessive flattening increases wear without improving pickup. |
| Cleaning zone | floor and pavement machine cleaning |
| Contact surface | concrete, tile, epoxy, asphalt, curb edges, stairs, and textured floors |
| Residue class | dust, sand, mud, oil |
| Access and motion | brush diameter, drive pattern, working width, and floor pressure must match the machine and surface |
| Cleaning duty | floor, pavement machine cleaning on concrete, tile, epoxy, asphalt |
| Variant configuration | Side Broom: side broom, roller, disc construction with Polypropylene PP, Nylon PA fill for floor and pavement machine cleaning on concrete, tile, epoxy, asphalt. |
Application Areas
Side Broom is primarily mapped to Road Sweeping. For a different application, first confirm the surface, where the loosened debris will go, and the finish you need.
- Side Broom is best suited to road-sweeper main broom, cylindrical broom, and gutter-broom cleaning.
- The main broom, side broom, gutter broom, wafer, or strip segment follows road, yard, parking area, curb, gutter, and sweeper pickup path while the fill displaces sand, gravel, litter, leaves, dust, mud, and mixed outdoor debris.
- Use this configuration when the available access supports high-energy sweeping contact on roads, curbs, gutters, snow, and outdoor pavement.
Selection Guidance
Structure fit
Match the road sweeper brooms geometry to concrete, tile, and epoxy, the available access, and powered operation. Confirm Brush head diameter 180–500 mm and Brush head length 400–900 mm against the complete working envelope before finalizing the brush.
Contact material
Choose from Polypropylene PP and Nylon PA according to the behavior of dust, sand, and mud, the surface sensitivity, and any wet, chemical, temperature, or hygiene requirements. To set the right stiffness, confirm the filament diameter, free trim, and density as well as the material.
When to use another solution
For Side Broom, use another cleaning method when dust, sand, and mud cannot be released by controlled filament contact, when concrete, tile, and epoxy cannot tolerate the selected contact material, or when the access path prevents safe engagement and residue removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should Side Broom be selected?
Start with road-sweeper main broom, cylindrical broom, and gutter-broom cleaning, road, yard, parking area, curb, gutter, and sweeper pickup path, and sand, gravel, litter, leaves, dust, mud, and mixed outdoor debris. Then set Side broom outside diameter, Plate or block diameter, and Filament length, choose the fill from the material and residue table, and match the mounting interface and operating condition.
Which dimensions define Side Broom?
The primary dimensions are Side broom outside diameter (400–900 mm), Plate or block diameter (180–500 mm), and Filament length (150–400 mm). Also provide the minimum clearance, working envelope, trim or engagement, and the existing holder, shaft, stem, thread, or handle.
Which filament or contact material is used for Side Broom?
The primary options are Polypropylene PP and Nylon PA. The final choice follows surface sensitivity, residue adhesion, wet or dry use, temperature, chemicals, conductivity, and required cutting action.
When is Side Broom not the best cleaning method?
Side Broom is not the first choice for vacuum-only pickup, plow, pressure wash, or milling for fine airborne dust, packed ice, or bonded deposits.
What information is required to quote Side Broom?
Send the part or machine drawing, photos of road, yard, parking area, curb, gutter, and sweeper pickup path, Side broom outside diameter, Plate or block diameter, Filament length, and Filament diameter, the residue description, wet or dry conditions, motion or use method, temperature, preferred Polypropylene PP and Nylon PA, quantity, and the existing interface or sample.
