Improving efficiency
January 1st 2006

Broome Brothers (Doncaster), has used the Broadwood SweepEx modular brush system for 3 years.

The company has only just bought its first set of replacement bristles despite using the brush several times a week to sweep their twoacre production area.

Used on a forklift truck, Broome Bros, has found it has increased productivity by obviating the need for manual labour for sweeping and has also reduced the amount of dust and debris in the atmosphere, which becomes airborne when manual sweeping is carried out. Now, the Broadwood SweepEx is quickly and simply attached to the forklift and the debris is efficiently and easily swept up into a pile ready for a loading shovel to collect for recycling.

"We were initially sceptical that the system would work because it is so simple", says Kevin Lees, site manager at Broome Bros. "But it does work extremely well and manual sweeping has become a thing of the past for our staff."
