by AF 0930 g3 — October 2, 2009—The Proterra rider sweeper from Advance combines superior maneuverability, simple operation, and a 64-inch dust-controlled sweeping path to set a new standard of cleaning productivity for rider sweepers, according to Advance.
The machine’s five-stage dust-suppression system captures dust at the main broom and side brooms, which minimizes fugitive dust and helps keep manufacturing facilities, parking garages, warehouses and other indoor and outdoor areas clean and free of airborne particles.
The patented DustClear Five-Stage Dust Control system begins controlling dust at the side brooms, the greatest source of fugitive dust on other sweepers, according to Advance. The Proterra’s dust suppression system emits a light mist at the side brooms that bonds to dust so that it settles and is immediately swept into the main broom chamber instead of drifting into the air.
A vacuumized main broom chamber provides consistent airflow into the broom chamber to ensure all dust is contained in the main hopper. An Ultra-Web nanofiber filter then removes any remaining dust particles from the air stream. The life and performance of the filter is extended with Proterra’s variable frequency filter shaker system, which aggressively shakes the filter free of fine dust and particles at multiple vibration frequencies.
Clear sight lines simplify the floor-cleaning process for operators of all experience levels, and operator comfort is enhanced by the machine’s Clear-View design, which also ensures safe operation.
Advance is a brand of Nilfisk-Advance, a leading manufacturers of high-quality commercial and industrial floor maintenance equipment.
