centres directly, in accordance with the legislation in force in the country where the machine is
used.
CHOOSING AND USING BRUSHES
All the brushes are comprised of a body to which the various tufts of bristles are fixed. The brush bodies are
generally made of plastic, as this is a material that ensures higher levels of reliability, in that it does not become
damaged when wet.
N.B.: when the bristle starts to be consumed, it comes closer to the brush and increases its rigidity, losing its
flexibility characteristics that allows it to collect and remove dirt. For this reason it is important to replace
them at the right moment.
The type of brush for sweeping machines can be chosen according to the material the bristles are made of. The
most common bristle materials are:
POLYPROPYLENE (PPL)
Synthetic polymer
Bristles with varying level of
abrasion and thickness (0.3÷1.5
mm)
Can be used on any type of flooring
Can be used for routine or deep
cleaning
UNION MIX
Compound based on natural
products
Can be used for polishing and
scrubbing activities
Resistant to very high temperatures
Subject to rapid wear, shorter life
than the PPL version
Must be used with non-aggressive
detergents
Suitable for flooring types such as:
marble; granite; porphyry cobbles;
terracotta
Not suitable for heavy duty cleaning
NYLON (PA)
Synthetic polymer
Can be used as an alternative to
PPL
STEEL

heavy duty cleaning
Alternative to Tynex
