Why choose a Kersten sweeper?
Detritus build-up is one of the largest causes of weeds on hard surfaces. Sweeping this detritus is our first line of defence against weeds.
Kersten sweepers have been specifically designed to remove soil and heavy debris on hard surfaces. This is achieved by several very important design features that are not typically found on other sweepers.
We use 5 spiral rows of bristles on our roller brush. The gaps between the rows provide space for movement of larger volumes of heavy debris. The spiral pattern allows pressure to be applied across a narrow section of the brush rather than the full width. Less power is required to move heavy material at this point, than across the whole brush at once, so the brush can tackle much heavier material than other brushes.
Height adjustment
The pressure of the brush can be finely adjusted on the rear castors, which prevents unnecessary brush wear and allows the brush to maximise performance on a range of surfaces. The two castors also allow the brush to follow contours closely to keep as much contact with the ground as possible.
Angling
The brushes can be angled to sweep forward, left or right. This allows material to be collected or wind-rowed.
Our sweepers can be fitted with a range of accessories for making the job even easier:
A height adjustable container can be fitted to the sweeper in order to collect material that has been swept. The box is sized so that it can be handled by one operator and is perfect for the collection of heavy debris such as soil, moss and sand.
A side brush can be fitted for presenting gullies. The brush pulls material out from the edges into the path of the main brush, so it can be collected. This really makes an impact on a site and draws the eye to the crisp clean edges.
A brush guard can be fitted to our sweepers instead of the collecting box. This prevents dust and debris from being flicked into the air by the brush. Instead, the material is contained close to the brush. This is extremely useful when trying to wind-row material.

To control dust on asphalt surfaces, adjust your sweeper's brush speed to a slower setting to minimize dust dispersal. Spraying water directly onto the brush or the surface helps bind the dust, making it heavier and easier to collect. Kersten sweepers are available with dust suppression kits can efficiently handle dust without spreading it around.
A dust suppression kit sprays water directly onto the brush of a sweeper and surface. This technique helps bind dust particles, making them heavier and easier to collect. By reducing the amount of dust that becomes airborne, these kits help maintain cleaner surfaces and improve air quality.
For hard-to-reach areas, use a pedestrian two wheel tractor such as K-series or UBS-series with dust suppression kit. Adjust the brush speed to a slower setting and apply water to the brush to control dust effectively. A debris guard can also help manage dust in confined spaces.
The Gully Brush is a specialized attachment for sweepers, expertly designed to manage debris in challenging areas such as edges, gullies, and kerbsides. It efficiently pulls dirt, leaves, and other debris from these hard-to-reach spots into the path of the main sweeper brush. Once in the sweeper brush’s path, the debris is collected by the sweeper and deposited into the collector box, ensuring a comprehensive clean and a polished finish.
The frequency of replacement depends on the amount of usage and the type of debris you're dealing with. Regular inspection is recommended, and brushes should be replaced as soon as you notice signs of wear, such as reduced cleaning performance or uneven bristle wear.
The Poly Spiral Roller Brush and De-Moss Brush are designed for different cleaning tasks and may not always be interchangeable. The Poly Spiral Roller Brush is ideal for general debris sweeping, such as dust, leaves, soil, and small rocks.
On the other hand, the De-Moss Brush is specifically engineered for tackling stubborn moss, especially in damp or shaded areas. While both brushes may perform similarly on surfaces like tarmac, the Poly Spiral Roller Brush may be less effective on thick moss, and the De-Moss Brush might not be the best choice for fine particles like dust.
Choose the brush that best fits your specific cleaning needs to ensure optimal performance.
Replacing the brush on your Kersten Brush is crucial for maintaining peak performance and efficiency. Over time, the brush bristles wear down from regular use, which can diminish their cleaning effectiveness and potentially damage the surfaces being cleaned. By replacing the brush, you ensure continued high performance in removing debris, moss, and tough dirt. Regular brush replacement also prevents equipment damage and guarantees consistent, reliable cleaning results.
