When professionally cleaning roads and paths, particularly in rural areas, a wide variety of different types of heavy soiling are encountered. In the newly developed sweeper attachment, the two housing parts are now suspended so that they float in relation to each other and the collection container at the front, into which the dirt is swept, can move up and down depending on the surface. To achieve a good result, the two housing parts must be sealed towards the front in the direction of travel. An initial variant using a sheet metal with sealing lips was not a satisfactory solution in terms of tightness and the coating on the housings wore off quickly. August Penkert now supplies a special, reinforced tarpaulin that can be firmly bolted to the housing parts and is therefore completely sealed in the direction of travel. This flexibility allows the housings to move freely in relation to each other. At the GaLaBau 2016 trade fair, Kersten Arealmaschinen GmbH was awarded the "Innovation Medal 2016" for this new model of a mounted sweeper. You can find out more about this topic here. More information on this project is available on request..
