Testimonials
When I needed a quick way to remove the caked mud and sediment from the river that flooded next to my company, I called the Smiths. I’ve been using sweeper attachments for years, cleaning various asphalt and concrete surfaces. I couldn’t decide what I liked more, how well it cleaned vs. how easy it was to replace the brush. There’s really no other comparison out there. If you want the best sweeper, you need to call these guys.

We met Karey and Dave at a pavement expo in 2014 and since then they’ve become our premier supplier of gutter and wafer brushes for our waste reclamation company. The thing that drew me to them was the patented steel wire in their gutter brushes. Their poly and wire round tops lasted longer than any competitor’s brush I’ve ever used and we’ve been in the businesses for over 15 years scrubbing asphalt and concrete. While they may be out of state, their low prices and great customer service st… Read more

I met Karey at an expo show and he was showcasing the new Challenger Quickchange™ brush system. I think it’s important to know that the best competitors on the market usually require three or four hours to change a brush by removing the bearings and the core. With the Quickchange™ brush system, my staff was able to replace a brush in literally 90 seconds without a single tool. The time savings in itself is paying for the sweeper and is making me more money. Thanks Smith Equipment and Supply Co… Read more

Tube Brooms
A sweeper brush or tube broom can come with a large variety of options. Tube brooms are industrial brushes with a cylindrical steel core that has polypropylene bristles, steel wire, or a combination of both. These bristles and wires are forced into steel channel that is pressed and welded onto the broom core. Sweeper brushes can be wound with certain spacing for varying bristle densities. High density sweeper brushes use the same material, but are more tightly wound and don't have any spacing between the channels. Known as coil spacing, this describes the gap between each piece of channel on the tube brooms.
Main Brushes and Tube Brooms are interchangeable terms and usually refer to the same type of sweeper brush. Sweeper brushes are normally rotated on a type of automatic mandrel located near the ground level of the sweeper vehicle. Sweeper brushes are replaced according to several factors such as operator experience, amount of down force applied, and environmental conditions. No matter what the job, Smith Equipment can manufacturer a sweeper brush for you. Call us today and speak with one of our expert staff for details.

Industrial Sweeper Brushes
Wafers are the most commonly used sweeper brushes. Specializing in polypropylene and steel wire filaments, our wafers can be equipped with poly, steel wire, or both depending on the application. Wafer brooms normally come with a 6 3/8ths or 10 inch inner diameters.
Most industrial wafers have three distinct styles depending on their application. Flat wafers, are usually more common, and require the use of spacers. Convoluted wafers don't require spacers and their continually angled channel covers a wider area and offers better sweeping power. Angled wafer brooms are ideal for farming and ground collection for applications like nut harvesting. They can also be used as gutter brooms!
Wafers can also come in a wide variety of colors include our standard red, natural white, green, blue, yellow or military green.
