NEW TECHNOLOGY IS SWEEPING THROUGH OUR RANGE
The KM 60 series sweepers are fully adjustable for height. This is normally achieved by a single lever which adjusts the height of both heavy duty gauge wheels simultaneously. This reduces the possibility of uneven brush wear. KM control take this one stage further. The Kersten KM hydraulicâelectronic control system adjusts the height of the brush automatically according to the conditions, surface undulations and brush wear. The operator may vary the parameters of the system from the cab mounted panel whilst sweeping if required. This automatic brush height control can considerably reduce brush wear and increase operator comfort.
FLOATING COLLECTOR
The sweeper height is maintained by its rear, heavy gauge wheels and the collector box is normally
mounted to the sweeper housing by fixed points. However, this type of assembly forms one ridged
structure; resulting in the collector box rubbing the ground or the sweeper leaving the surface in
undulating conditions.
The solution to this may be found on the KM60 sweepers, where an innovative floating arm mounting
system ensures the collector and sweeper follow ground contours independently of each other.
This independent movement allows both items to remain constantly parallel to the surface being swept.
The collector maintains a constant clearance from the ground irrespective of the brush working height.
