Hydrapower - RBH02 Bucket Brooms

The main brush shaft is fitted with 860mm x 250mm (34″ x 10″) individual poly and wire brushes.

The standard set-up from our factory is with half poly brushes and half wire brushes. This generally gives the best performance as the poly segments pick up finer particles and the wire segments give support to the poly segments and assist in picking up larger particles. The main brush shaft can be rotated in either direction (for sweeping either forwards or backwards).

The pilot operated cross-port relief valve will prevent the brushes from changing the direction of rotation until the brush shaft has come to a complete stop. This relief valve also acts as a motor spool, allowing the main shaft to free wheel if the hydraulic oil to the motor is shut-off without firstly idling down.

When sweeping forwards the rubber skirting on the sides of the lid directs swept material back into the brush, preventing windrowing. Solid steel wheels fitted with non-greasable agricultural bearings are fitted to each side of the bucket to prevent the cutting edge from dragging or cutting into the sweep-up area.

The main brush is driven directly via large displacement hydraulic motors (one at each end of the shaft), thereby eliminating the need for chains, sprockets and other wear parts. Fitted onto the motor shafts are large steel drive couplings with a durable polyurethane coating. The hinges on the lid run full length across the top of the bucket to give adequate strength and support to the lid assembly when dumping.
