Reducing dust

Aug. 20, 2009
The Sweepster VS by Paladin Construction Group utilizes a vacuum dust-abatement system that reduces visible dust while sweeping. The high-volume fan pulls air from the sweeping chamber, filtering dust as small as 10 micron with a PTFE-impregnated, washable filter. The system reduces dust without bulky and awkward water systems and is available for skid-steer mounting in 5-, 6- and 7-ft widths.

The system reduces dust without bulky and awkward water systems and is available for skid-steer mounting in 5-, 6- and 7-ft widths.A drape system that seals the sweeping chamber to the ground maximizes the efficiency of the vacuum dust-collection system, and an electric shaker cleans the filter when sweeping and dumping. A high-dump feature allows for emptying of the collected debris from the sweeper hopper at the maximum height of the skid-steer loader. A large 26-in.-diam. quick-change brush maximizes sweeping effectiveness. To ensure a clean surface, the front caster follows ground contours independently of the loader, keeping the brush in contact with the ground.
