What is a vacuum sweeper?

High performance sweeping: vacuum sweepers remove dirt of all kinds from interior and exterior surfaces. How are they different from sweepers? When in use, the vacuum sweeper disperses dust using a roller brush, then vacuums the dust using a suction turbine (fan) and deposits it in a filter system.

The dustpan principle

The roller brush turns in the opposite direction to the direction of travel. Consequently, dirt is moved to the front of the sweeper and into the waste container (direct dirt pick-up). Kärcher's push sweepers and industrial vacuum sweepers operate in line with this principle.

Advantages:

  • Low-dust sweeping due to lower brush speeds and a short "sweep path"
  • Less brush wear
  • Ideal for expansive and heavy dirt as well as fine dust

The throwing principle

The dirt is collected in the opposite direction to the direction of travel and is moved into the back dirt container via the main roller brush. Kärcher's walk-behind vacuum sweepers and ride-on vacuum sweepers operate in line with this principle.

Advantages:

  • Container allows up to 100% fill levelIdeal for coarse and light dirt
  • Collects coarse dirt with ease using a coarse dirt flap
  • Good overview due to forward seating position

On which floors can sweepers and vacuum sweepers be used?

Different floor coverings and types of dirt also place different demands on the vacuum sweeper and relevant system. The standard main sweeper roller is the usual choice and stands out with its flexibility and long lifetime. However, the same roller brush is not suitable for all floor coverings. This is why Kärcher offers various solutions to help you achieve optimal cleaning results.
