This is our range of professional Heavy-Duty Mechanical and hydraulic Drive Weedbrushes. For heavier applications such as edging footpaths or removing heavy buildup of soil and weeds on a variety of surfaces.

Why choose a Kersten Mechanical WeedBrush?

Over time, footpaths and other hard surfaces get a build up of organic depris - especially at the edges. Eventually soil can build up, encroaching several inches onto the path. At this stage it is too heavy to remove easily with our hydraulic weedbrushes. The mechanical weedbrushes will handle this kind of material easily.

HausaBrush – The WeedBrush is fitted with VersaBrushes and Hausa brushes. Hausa brushes are much more rigid than our versa brush, they are made from thick coils of braided wire that are able to cut into the soil and rip it away to reveal the path edge. The versa brushes then finish the job, with finer wires, clearing away the residual dirt on the surface. It is the combination which makes this so effective.

Angling – The WeedBrush can be angled in all directions for getting into cracks and crevices’. Using the brush on an angle allows it to penetrate the joints in surfaces such as block paving and cope with cambers.

Pressure – Brush height and pressure is controlled by an adjustable castor wheel placed close to the brush and a weight on top. This allows the pressure to be adjusted to suit the application, achieving a perfect combination of cleaning performance and brush life.

Stone guard – To reduce stone throwing, our WeedBrushes rotate at very low speeds of between 180 – 400 rpm. Because of the high torque, we are still able to achieve a great finish, but the lower speed gives much less energy to stones and other debris so they are not turned into dangerous projectiles. A protective guard also helps to keep material close to the brush, so the arisings are easy to clean up after WeedBrushing. The slow rotation speed has the added benefit of creating less vibration.

Just add water – By adding water the WeedBrush is able to scrub dirt and algae from surfaces such as sandstone and other paving.
