Regular cleaning through street sweeping is an important task undertaken by all councils, and using compact, versatile sweepers that operate with full-size performance offers many benefits.
Since 2021 KOR has partnered with US company Schwarze, world-renowned for manufacturing market leading street sweepers, and holds the distribution license in Australia and New Zealand for supplying the market with Schwarze street sweepers.
The flagship of the range is the Schwarze A4 Storm regenerative air street sweeper – a heavy-duty workhorse that provides a high-quality option with the lowest cost of ownership. It features the unique Whisper Wheel fan system technology that gives Schwarze a competitive advantage over rivals. With this fan system the sweeper runs with up to 70 per cent less noise and uses up to 20 per cent less fuel consumption while providing up to 7 per cent more power.
The A4 Storm is equipped with an impressive 12,000 cubic feet per minute air speed, boasting a higher velocity air column resulting in a more robust air stream. This enhanced air stream facilitates superior material transfer and pickup capabilities, making it a highly efficient choice for any sweeping application.
It stands out as a compact and versatile sweeping solution with a 3.6 cubic metre chassis-mounted design, striking a balance between size and performance. Besides having the lowest operating costs, it is the ideal street sweeping choice, thanks to its generous three-metre sweep path. The compact dimensions make it manoeuvrable and ideal for urban environments, while maintaining the sweeping performance needed to keep streets clean and debris-free.
Larger diameter 990mm tilting gutter brooms are pivotal in reaching and cleaning gutters that are recessed below pavement height, therefore effectively addressing areas where dirt and debris predominantly accumulate in the gutter line. The tilting broom feature is not only efficient, but it also prolongs the broom’s lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice.
The Schwarze A4 Storm has its innovative high-tip design, offering a 3.6m³ stainless steel hopper that has a vertical discharge height of nearly two metres, allowing for the convenient and efficient debris disposal directly into bins. The high tipping capability means the debris removal process is simplified and is more efficient as tipping waste into bins rather than travelling to and from the depot saves time and fuel.
There is a simple two-way centre console design that facilitates operation from both sides of the cab. The control panel houses all necessary switches and instrumentation such as fuel and oil pressure, temperature and has the latest in electrical safety with no fuses and breakers that can be simply reset. The system also provides comprehensive engine diagnostics and operational data, such as load and fuel consumption.
