Function

The sweeper operates using the direct-throw principle.

1. The rotating side brushes clean corners and edges of the sweeping surface and convey the waste into the path of the roller brush.
2.  The rotating roller brush conveys the waste directly into the waste container.

The dust swirled up in the waste container is separated by a dust filter, and the suction fan sucks away the filtered air. Cleaning of the dust filter occurs automatically during operation.
