Sweepers and vacuum sweepers Professional line for indoors and outdoors.
Sweepers and vacuum sweepers Broad range of applications From push sweepers to industrial and city cleaners, Kärcher sweepers and vacuum sweepers are built to the latest engineering standards. Designed for rugged reliability, they incorporate highly efficient sweeping and vacuum technology that leaves nothing unswept. Kärcher machines clean indoor and outdoor areas effectively and economically. Small areas Kärcher push sweepers are 5 times faster than the good old push broom when it is necessary to clean outdoor areas quickly and efficiently, e.g. courtyards, driveways and sidewalks. Facility maintenance for commerce & industry The use of walkbehind battery or gasolinepowered vacuum sweepers ensures convenient and dustfree sweeping. Agriculture For all indoor areas Warehouse & logistics Industry A well cared for farm with clean pens and buildings not only looks better, but also helps avoid accidents, maintains the value of equipment and creates a more pleasant working atmosphere. The standard side brush cleans gutters, corners and steps. Our batterypowered sweepers are used in all those places where noise abatement is an important requirement. Units are available for narrow corridors or large areas. Highly manoeuvrable, easytooperate rideon sweepers are ideal for mediumsized areas, e.g. warehouses. Sitting instead of walking is the easy way to increase productive working time. Our rideon sweepers with hydraulic container lift mechanism are used in heavy industry. The materials used and the timeproven technology meet the highest demands and ensure a long service life.

Sweepers and vacuum sweepers Sweepers for indoors and outdoors Sweeping principles Dustpanandbrush principle In this system the roller brush sweeps the dirt into a forwardmounted container. The benefits are: Reduced effort Easy handling Low dust level Direction of travel Overthrow principle In this system the roller brush rotates at a higher speed and throws the sweepings up and back into a trailing container. Benefits: Up to 85100% of waste container capacity is utilized. Collection of large items (e.g. cans, stones) through wide opening bulk waste flap presents no problems. Direction of travel Filter technology Efficient fine dust filtration goes hand in hand with advanced sweeping technology. The filter and cleaning systems used in all Kärcher vacuum sweepers are based on Kärcher patents and offer convincing benefits: Simple filter replacement. Filter made of washable polyester fabric for minimum maintenance. Efficient manual or automatic filter shaker systems for long periods of uninterrupted operation. Highgrade polyester filters have a retention rate of 99.9%. Dustpanandbrush principle utilizes 4050% of capacity Overthrow principle utilizes 85100% of capacity Five times faster than a broom Push sweepers are ideal in all those areas where cleaning was previously performed with a broom and dustpan, e.g. for driveways, sidewalks, etc. Economical in operation Effective on medium to large areas Kärcher vacuum sweepers are available as walkbehind and rideon models. Vacuum sweepers are recommended for commercial and industrial applications. Rideon machines are more economical where it is necessary to clean areas of 14,000 ft 2 or more per hour. Economical and efficient on medium to large areas Rideon sweepers are available with powerful gasoline or diesel engines (for outdoor use) or lowemission batterypowered electric motors to suit specific applications. Thanks to their excellent manoeuvrability, rideon machines can also be used in areas where it is necessary to clean around obstacles. The use of the following Kärcher sweepers and vacuum sweepers is costeffective when the area to be swept per hour is as indicated on their performance columns. 54,000 ft 2 KMR1550 86,000 ft 2 KMR 1700 3,200 ft 6,500 10,000 ft 2 2,100 ft 2 ft2 2 KSM 750 KM 85/50W KM 70/20 C KM 70/30 16,000 ft 2 KM 100/100R KMR 1250 27,000 ft 2 27,000 ft 2 KMR1050 38,000 ft 2 KM 120/150R Push sweeper Vacuum sweepers Rideon vacuum sweepers The machine name normally consists of three elements: 1. Abbreviated designations for the type of machine: KM or KSM for sweeper / vacuum sweeper 2. Abbreviated designations for the machine category: C for compact, i.e. push sweepers without travel drive W for walkbehind, i.e. walkbehind sweepers with travel drive R for rideon, rideon sweepers 3. Performance specified in numbers: There are two types of classifications here: a) Machine name with a combination of numbers (e.g. KM 100/100 R). The first number indicates the working width, the second the net volume of the waste container. b) Names with numbers (e.g. KSM 750) indicate the sweeping width with one side brush. 3

The application determines the equipment Sweepers and vacuum sweepers are used for a wide range of different surfaces and cleaning requirements. Their efficiency in any given application also depends on the use of the right accessories from main brooms to filters and attachments. Carpet cleaning The use of Kärcher sweepers is costeffective in all those locations where it is necessary to clean very large carpeted areas. Equipped with an antistatic main broom and lint filter, they clean thoroughly and effectively because dust and coarse dirt are removed in a single operation, without cumbersome electrical cords. Efficient use of filters Good sweeping results also depend on the choice of fine dust filter. Kärcher offers a number of technically advanced solutions, which are particularly economical and ensure a long wear life as a result of integrated cleaning systems and the washability of the materials used. Mounting kits A wide range of optional equipment enables Kärcher rideon sweepers to be adapted to the requirements of special working conditions from a weatherproof cab to lighting equipment for use in dark areas or at night. Economical brush technology Kärcher sweepers come standard with polyamide brushes because they are suitable for use on rough and smooth surfaces and have a wear life that it three times longer than that of conventional polypropylene brushes. You profit from the shorter settingup times and a longer service life. The standard main broom of vacuum sweepers and rideon sweepers are equipped with bristles arranged in a chevron pattern to ensure optimum transportation of the debris / dirt into the hopper. The standard main broom also features a combination of hard (black) bristles and soft (yellow) bristles for ideal results on almost all surfaces. 11
