Machine Vs. Broom
|
As you can see from the example, we have a sweeping rate which is approximately 20 times faster than a man sweeping with a broom. (open area sweeping) What the comparison doesn't show is the amount of dust that settles when the manual sweeping has stopped. We collect the dust in our operation. All KP Sweeping sweepers are fitted with filter panels. This methodology provides unsurpassed dust control filtering to 4 microns, so sweeping in or outside is fully controlled and environmentally friendly. Unlike manual sweeping that has no filtration, KP Sweeping uses Filtration Sweepers that effectively and efficiently filter out dust. As shown right, the dust collected off the floor is trapped in the Panel Filter. The dust has been removed and not re-circulated into the air and onto product. This is more environmentally friendly that manual sweeping. A powerful stiff side brush makes short work of dirt, stones, leaves, cigarette butts and years of dirt built up in kerbs which have been left making your premises looking untidy, dirty and unsafe - something that cannot be achieved with a broom. Also unlike a mop and bucket where you drag the mess across the floor, our machines apply a down force pressure from 10kg to 150kg to agitate the dirt with detergent to break it down prior to squeeging and vacuuming the dirty water off the floor leaving it clean and dry |

Modern mechanised cleaning can clean floors anywhere between 25 and 100 times faster than workers using brooms and mops. As well there is a more thorough cleaning especially with regard to dust control and scrubbing aggressiveness.
