The main roller brush spans a width of 1,400 millimeters or more, while the combined total sweeping width reaches 2,800 millimeters or greater, enabling the vehicle to cover substantial road surface area with each pass. The side brushes feature diameters ranging from 700 to 850 millimeters, and the main roller brush maintains a diameter of approximately 400 millimeters, with all brushes equipped with hydraulic variable speed adjustment capabilities.

The hydraulic brush speed adjustment system allows operators to customize brush rotation speeds based on the type and amount of debris being清理, ensuring optimal cleaning performance while minimizing unnecessary wear on brush components. The mechanical sweeping approach proves particularly effective for handling sand, leaves, small stones, and light debris commonly encountered in urban environments.

Garbage Collection and Conveyor System

The 5 cubic meter hopper constructed from Q235 carbon steel provides generous capacity for storing collected debris during extended cleaning operations. The mechanical sweeping action combined with the conveyor collection system efficiently transfers debris from the brushes into the hopper without requiring manual intervention from the operator.

The chain plate or belt conveyor system features wear-resistant steel construction that withstands the abrasive nature of collected debris over prolonged use. The hydraulic motor drive ensures reliable conveyor operation, with debris being smoothly transported from the brush area to the hopper interior.

When the hopper requires emptying, the hydraulic tipping mechanism raises the collection bin to a dumping angle exceeding 45 degrees, allowing collected material to discharge completely through the rear of the vehicle. This automated unloading process significantly reduces manual labor requirements and minimizes the time spent at disposal sites.

Dust Suppression and Water System

Recognizing that effective street cleaning must address air quality concerns alongside surface debris removal, the ISUZU Brush Street Cleaner Truck incorporates a comprehensive dust suppression system that captures airborne particles during sweeping operations. The system achieves dust control efficiency of 85% or higher, substantially reducing the secondary pollution that can result from dry sweeping methods.

The 1.5 to 2.0 cubic meter water tank supplies the dust suppression system, with water being distributed through strategically positioned spray nozzles. Side brush spray nozzles target dust generation at the primary debris pickup points, while the front dust suppression spray prevents particles from becoming airborne ahead of the vehicle’s path. An optional rear spray system provides additional dust control for particles that may become disturbed during the sweeping process.

The electric diaphragm or centrifugal water pump ensures consistent water pressure and flow rate to all spray nozzles, with the operator able to adjust water distribution based on specific cleaning conditions and requirements. This flexibility allows the vehicle to operate effectively in various environments, from dry and dusty conditions to more moderate situations where minimal dust suppression is required.
